Methu John Muhia

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the registration of Lake Ol’ Bolossat as a national reserve. In the Statement, the Committee should-

Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I support the Statement that has been read by the Senator for Kakamega, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I also join my colleagues in sending my most sincere condolences to the family of Hon. Lawrence Sifuna. Mr. Speaker,...

Sen. Methu On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not want to take much of your time, as I know many Senators want to contribute to this Motion. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.101 (4) on imputing improper motives on your colleagues. I know Hon. Sen....

Sen. Methu Kindly allow me to just make to my final comment.

Sen. Methu Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you must then also find him out of order to impute that Sen. Orwoba does not have content. He actually said, that “if you do not have content, sit down and allow the other Senators to contribute.” You must find the Chairperson of the...

Sen. Methu On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. November 29, 2023 SENATE DEBATES 4

Sen. Methu Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you drop that Statement, I have been consulting with the Clerks-at-the-Table. I know Sen. Crystal Asige has been seeking to be sent the Statement to read on behalf of Sen. Sifuna, and it has not been sent to her. Since I came in this...

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to make reference to the same Standing Order that has been referred to by Sen. Sifuna on matters sub judice. Standing Order No.103 (2) states- “A matter shall be considered sub judice when it refers to an active criminal or...

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

Sen. Methu If I was to raise this point of order when another Senator is already on his feet, then it will be---

Sen. Methu Yes, under Standing Orders No.111 on limitation of debate. Owing to the number of Senators who want to comment on this Motion and you have seen that the kind of business that we have today is very heavy; I would wish to propose that we limit debate on...

Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this particular Motion. By this House passing this particular Motion, it will become an endorsement to the vote of confidence that has been voted on our forces by one of the highest security organs in...

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also grudgingly support the extension of time for this Committee. I am not persuaded by the reasons that were given by Sen. Mungatana because his Committee sought an extension four times during the Shakahola---

Sen. Methu Okay, very well, then he sought the extension once. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have been following up on this particular matter that is being dealt by the Committee led by Sen. Kavindu Muthama. I have seen the strides that they have made. I feel that they require...

Sen. Methu On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would not have wanted to interrupt my good friend, Sen. Oketch Gicheru. Since this is a House of record, and together we are new Senators, we are learning, I think it is fair to say that what he has...

Sen. Methu Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would not have wanted to interrupt my very good friend Sen. Osotsi. However, I would want your guidance on whether he is in order to refer to hon. colleagues as voting machines.

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the CS for very elaborate answers to the Question. I went to consult Sen. Mbugua because he is the man who asked the Question, so that I can ask a relevant question. Allow me from the outset to thank the Cabinet...

Sen. Methu Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to comment on the statements sought by Sen. Cherarkey on the interdiction of teachers who sought transfers from the North Eastern Region. Just as it is in the substance of this Statement, every Kenyan has a right to a good working environment....

Sen. Methu Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for my Senate Majority Whip, but as has been the custom here, I feel that if the Chairperson has not delegated such powers to you to respond on his behalf, it will be unfair. This is because Sen....

Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Allow me to use this dispatch that I have heard today that it is a preserve of the leadership in which I serve as a chairman of a Committee. I am very excited to welcome the teachers and students from...

Sen. Methu

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Bill. The House has built consensus that this is a very timely Bill. The Senate Majority Leader elucidated the reason we need to do justice to it. As my colleagues have said, both the national Government...

Sen. Methu Just give me one minute!

Sen. MethuIn the first nine months of own-source collection of Nyandarua County, we collected Kshs346 million. Out of this, Kshs156 million was collected from hospitals which denotes the fact that 45 per cent of all of our revenues are collected from the sick.It then makes sense that this money should...

The Hon. Senator with some origins in Turkana. You had indicated that you would save time for your colleagues, but you did not do anything much. Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, you have the Floor.
