Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. PROCUREMENT OF VARIOUS SERVICES AT KIRDI

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the Statement sought by the Senator for Bomet County, Sen. Wakili Hillary Sigei, on the matter concerning non-payment for services rendered to contractors in Bomet County. The matter of pending bills is becoming a serious and grave matter in...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.105, not to interrupt the Senator for Nandi County, but to ask if really he is in order to make sweeping statements that fish in Kempinski is kept in the fridge, that it is not fresh? Is the...

Thank you very much for the opportunity. Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to join you and take this opportunity, on behalf of my colleagues, to welcome the teachers and the students of Arnesens Secondary School in Ainabkoi Constituency. It is one of our old schools that has produced luminaries in...

Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Alexander Mundigi regarding mangoes and other fresh produce by farmers that go to waste. There is also mango production in Kerio Valley, West Pokot and Baringo counties. There is need for county governments to establish...

Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy, Speaker, Sir. I want a confirmation from the Cabinet Secretary, who said there is a proposal in the Budget for Financial Year 2026/2027. Did the proposal originate from the Ministry and does that specific figure have priority for the Ministry? Is there any evidence...

Mheshimiwa Speaker, nasimama kuuliza kulingana na Kanuni za Kudumu za Bunge. Ukianza kujibu swali kwa kutumia lugha moja, unafaa kutumia lugha hiyo mpaka ukamilishe. Waziri ameanza kujibu swali kutumia Kiswahili. Je, ni sawa akifika pale katikati aende kwenye Kiingereza ilhali wananchi wakulima walikuwa wanafuatilia kwa Kiswahili?

Mstahiki Spika wa Muda, Seneta wa Kirinyaga anajaribu kucheza mchezo wa paka na panya. Ulitoa mfano wa ugonjwa wa kuendesha lakini neno ambalo ulilitumia sio kuendesha. (An hon. Senator spoke off record) Hilo neno ndilo unafaa urekebishe.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary, now that there is a report of the task force that was looking at the legal framework and the reforms in the SACCO sector, have they sensitised the cooperatives on the new legal framework as the...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to contribute to the statement by Sen. Boni Khalwale. Public utilities are set aside for a specific course but it is becoming an alarming situation in our country because public utilities are increasingly being leased out regardless of the purpose for...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to make my contribution on the Equalisation Fund Appropriation Bill (National Assembly Bills No.21 of 2025) . My attention has been drawn to the allocation of the funds. I would like Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to relook into the formula...

Thank you very much, honourable Deputy Speaker. My point of order is this. There is a tendency that is growing in the House. When Members are asked to apologize and withdraw, they meander around and try to avoid. We should just be as direct and as blank in our apology...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have heard the Cabinet Secretary say there are absentee landlords. I do not know whether in Maasai land there are absentee landlords, unless the Cabinet Secretary intends to take away private land under the guise of absentee landlords. Finally, there is Government land for public...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My question goes to Cabinet Secretary on ensuring that funds that have been set aside for projects in particular regions are utilised for those regions. I ask because the Cabinet Secretary is keen to ensure there is equitable connectivity in the country. What happened...

Allow me to ask this because it affects the whole country. Just one question. What is the Ministry doing about your agencies in terms of utilising the road wayleaves? We have situations where KPLC erect poles in the middle of the roads, even when the corridor is 90 metres, and...

Thank you very much, Honourable Speaker. My supplementary question to the CS is on the issue of CAIPs. Allow me, Honourable Speaker, to just say this question would have been comprehensively answered if the CS had honoured the invitations and the summons of the Committee on Trade, Tourism and Industrialisation....

Yes, he is a good neighbour.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I second. (Loud consultations)

I support the Motion that the debate be limited to 10 minutes, so that all Senators can have time to contribute.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not understand the agitation of Sen. Mundigi. He should remember that I am among those who supported the sale of muguka when there was a stalemate in Mombasa. He should come quietly. My clarification is not even related to the Narcotics, Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. When you gave your ruling on acceptance of the apology by Sen. Karen Nyamu, you talked of Speaker Jeffah Kingi in your closing remarks. I looked because Members are not blind and I know the Speaker in the seat is Sen. Veronica Maina.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to find out whether your sitting there is not a conflict of interest. Having been the Mover of the Bill, you also want to preside over the decision of the House on this debate.

Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to inform Sen. Cherarkey that the proposal of the Senate through the Committee on Finance and Budget is actually Kshs454 billion.

Sen. Mandago, I believe you are informed and that is a constitutional provision. Sen. Mandago: I was just advising those governors that they are better off making their way to the Senate, responding to the questions that are being asked, and they should not get agitated. If you know how...

I do not mind because he is a senior member of the House, but he must be reminded that I am two-term governor, so he must inform with that information.

Sen. Joyce Korir, you may proceed. I was just advising those governors that they are better off making their way to the Senate, responding to the questions that are being asked, and they should not get agitated. If you know how you spent the money; if you know the services...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to inform Sen. Cathy Mumma that from 2013, a number of counties have actually been allocating funds for VTCs. I say so as a former Governor of Uasin Gishu County who served for two terms. I ensured that there was...

Sen. Mandago, please, inform him adequately.

Sen. Osotsi, would you like to be informed by Sen. Hezena?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary what plans they have to establish talent academies in Uasin Gishu County. How is it that Uasin Gishu County and Nandi County, the home, city and source of champions, have only one talent academy in Elgeyo Marakwet County?...

Sen. Abbas, proceed. Sen. Fatuma Dullo, what is your issue? (Interruption of debate on the Motion)

Sen. Mandago, please, inform him adequately.

Sen. Osotsi, would you like to be informed by Sen. Hezena?
