Proceed, Sen. (Dr.) Oburu.

Sen. Mandago

Sen. Mandago Sen. Gataya Mo Fire, proceed.

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Petition from Nyeri County on the lack of absorption of the instructors to the county vocational training colleges. I stand here to confirm that the instructors to vocational training colleges are supposed to be employees of county...

Sen. Mandago Madam Temporary Speaker, I just want to inform the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County that governors do not just give business to anybody. It is a procurement process that awards a tender to the lowest responsive bidder. So, the assumption that governors give businesses is not right. I hope...

Sen. Mandago On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I do not know whether the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet can prove that those who got business in Uasin May 23, 2023 SENATE DEBATES 38 Sen. MandagoGishu County are close to me. Business is put through a proper procurement process. That...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill by Sen. Omar. As my colleagues have said, it is really unfortunate that in this nation, we strive to create enterprises, encourage innovations and encourage young people, women and PWDs – even through provisions of law –...

Sen. Mandago Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add a supplementary question to what Sen. Veronica Maina has asked. I would like to know from the Cabinet Secretary in terms of quantifiable costs and revenues that the country lost by cancellation of those cruise ships....

Sen. Mandago My question is: How much did we lose as a country in these cancellations that we experienced?

Sen. Mandago Mr. Speaker, allow me one more---

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Madam Speaker. My Question to the CS as a supplementary to what--- (Sen. Cherarkey spoke off record)

Sen. Mandago Madam Temporary Speaker, my supplementary Question to what was asked by Sen. Gataya Mo Fire to the CS is how much time the CS requires to issue title deeds to the three sub-locations in Tharaka-Nithi County. I thank you.

Sen. Mandago Thank You, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition. It is extremely saddening to learn that there are civil servants in this country who can withdraw salaries for more than eight years without their work well cut out. The issue of incorporations of boards is not...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the Statement by Sen. Dullo on the alleged hacking of the IFMIS system. I have my reservation about whether the system is being hacked or being interfered with by the officers in the National Treasury. As you are...

Sen. Mandago On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Mandago Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.105, on a Statement of fact. I have heard the Senator for Isiolo County saying that the NLC is a department in the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development. As far as I am concerned, the NLC...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this question by Sen. Dullo. This is a practice we have seen the NLC undertake in various government projects. Remember the compensation for the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) . In my county, there was compensation for the Kenya Electricity...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My request is that the Chair of the NLC should be summoned, so that we can ask direct supplementary questions on the issue of valuation. Allow me to ask now that I have the chance, what plans the Ministry has to ensure that...

Sen. Mandago Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just a point of clarification. The CS says that he did not receive a substantive report from NLC and she is accompanied by officers from NLC. I really do not know whether to trust what the CS is saying. Otherwise, what...

Sen. Mandago Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to weigh in on this matter of pending bills. There is something that the House, the National Treasury, county governments and the general public need to understand. Unless we have another definition of a pending bill, ‘a...

Sen. Mandago Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Senator did not even say which Standing Order he was rising on. However, it is good that he has clarified that he has not been a governor. So, let me inform him from practice.

Sen. Mandago Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Statement by Sen. Onyonka is very clear. There are contractors who have worked and delivered but they have not been paid. It is not that the money is not there. April 25, 2023 SENATE DEBATES 13 Sen. MandagoIn this House, we have heard...

Thank you, Sen. Mandago. Kindly, proceed, Sen. Maanzo.

Sen. Mandago Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on Standing Order No.101 (4) . Sen. Mumma alleges that the CS for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives, has acquired land in Zambia for growing maize. Can she substantiate or provide evidence of acquisition of that land. Otherwise, she should withdraw and...

Sen. MandagoMr. Speaker, Sir, the Standing Committee on Health is established under Standing Order No.228(3) of the Senate Standing Orders and is mandated to consider all matters relating to medical services, public health and sanitation. During the period under review, the Committee held 35 sittings during which it considered Statements...

What is your point of order, Sen. Faki?

Asante, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii. Nilileta Kauli hapa kuhusu kusitishwa kwa huduma za umeme katika Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital katika Kaunti ya Mombasa. Hadi leo, sijapata ripoti yoyote wala Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Afya hakuitaji Kauli hiyo katika ripoti yake ya miezi sita tangu Kamati ilipoanza...

Sen. Faki, let me give you an opportunity to proceed but not to proceed as a point of order rather as your contribution or comment to that particular Statement because it does not stand as a point of order. Proceed to make your comment on it.

Asante, Bwana Spika, kwa kunielekeza. Nilileta Kauli hapa katika Seneti kuhusu kukatwa kwa nguvu za umeme katika Hospitali kuu ya Pwani yani Coast General and Referral Hospital. Niliomba Taarifa ile ninafikiri mwanzo wa mwezi wa tatu na hadi leo sijapata ripoti yoyote kuhusu mikakati ambayo Kamati imefanya ili kuchunguza na...

Thank you. Proceed, Sen. Orwoba.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to---

Sen. Thang’wa, what is your point of order? I can see you have pressed for intervention.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I respect the law and I have no objection with what happened earlier because I believe the Speaker is the supreme in the Senate when it comes to keeping the rules and law of this Chamber, though I have dressed like that for the last...

Thank you, Sen. Karungo. Rule No.5 of the Speakers Rules gives different options. If you meet those options, you are properly dressed before this House. One of the options is that you can come dressed in a coat, collar, tie, long trousers, socks and shoes. If you are dressed that...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement sought by Sen. Crystal Asige on the issue of PWDs. Without proper data, it would be impossible for this country to plan effectively for PWDs. When you see statistics are not consistent, it means that Government...
