One of the biggest challenges that we have in this country is that many people who are tasked with responsibilities are not qualified enough. In most cases, they are appointed based on who they know, and where they have been. When it comes to the issue of monetary policy and...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the two Petitions and I will start by supporting the Petition which was read by Sen. Mwaruma. In this country today, our teachers are suffering. I have been agonizing on what to do on whether to bring another Petition here because...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support ---

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have rightfully used your discretion to allow us to comment on the Statement by Sen. Okenyuri. The issue here is tourism; what it is bringing to this country and what we can do to enhance revenue that is coming from the tourism sector....

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 52 (1) to seek a Statement on the Public Service Superannuation Scheme Act 2012--- (Sen. Murgor consulted loudly) I wish the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Services can listen to this. I rise pursuant...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement, particularly on the issue of pending bills. There is absolutely no reason as to why each county should have a pending bill. In the Financial Year 2022/2023, county governments budgeted to spend money 30 per cent of their money on development....

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. I think it is important that we instil fiscal discipline in management of public resources. I was sitting down here and having a conversation with the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget. That is what made...

We have no time for points of order because we only have five minutes. We can talk later. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 211 (2) of the Constitution states- “Within seven days after either House of Parliament so requests by resolution, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance shall present to...

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

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order on statement of facts. It is important.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is Standing Order No.105. The distinguished Senator is a Member of the Committee on Finance and Budget. Is he not? If he is not a Member of the Committee, is it in order for him to mislead the public that funds can be released without being...

Assembly. The Division of Revenue Bill would be originated from the National Assembly. However, when it comes to the issue of the Cash Disbursement Schedule, it comes out of here because we are now dividing part of our Kshs385 billion, which is going to the counties.So, I am rising on...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, I thank you very much. Let me welcome the students from Lorna Laboso Secondary School. This is a very special school. I remember going there with the late governor for a fundraiser for the school. It is an amazing school. I will tell the students that the...

Thank you. It is important for us to do the right thing. If this Government wants to be on record in making sure that they send money on time, it should make sure that in the next financial year CARA is passed before 30th May and the disbursement schedule is...

(Applause) We passed the Division of Revenue Bill way back in April. Why did we dillydally? Why does it take 20 days for the Committee on Finance and Budget to table this on the Floor of the House? Why does it take a month for the National Treasury to give...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I vote “Yes”.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I vote ‘Yes’.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Traditionally, we have always transacted business in this House through consultation. We should be careful. If a Senator is standing here barring you while another one is speaking, that would be out of order. However, when we move from one Senator to...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be brief and to the point. I rise to support the Motion of setting up a committee. I have looked at the membership of the Committee as proposed by both sides of the House. I serve in the CPIC with three distinguished Senators who I...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I have listened very keenly to my colleague. I know that he had put a disclaimer to say that he does not intend to impute improper motives on the Committee, neither does he wish to impute improper motives on the secretariat. However, he has raised serious concerns...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of myself and this House, I welcome the students from Sekenani Primary School. Sekenani is in the greater Maasai Mara region. It is interesting that we are talking about the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA). Narok County generates most of its own...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this important Bill in its amended version. Although I support the Bill, sometimes I am baffled as to why we sit here and debate both the vertical and horizontal Bills in terms of how funds are divided and sent to counties...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My deepest condolences to you, Clerk. This Table of the Clerk will never be the same again. I remember Marya very well. At any time when I was in doubt and needed clarity, I would always approach her and she would be fast to guide...
