Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. /I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on a matter of national concern regarding the death of Mr. Simon Warui, aged 26, while in police...

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a sports enthusiast. You must also note that I am the first person from Njabini Village to ever participate in international football, when I represented this august House during the East African Parliamentary Games in Juba, South Sudan, and I did...

Sen. Methuyou are told that you will be assigned roles by the governor, what if he or she does not? More often than not, most governors feel threatened by their deputies.Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that one reason, that I have just told you, if I were running against you...

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

Sen. Cherarkey, what is your point of order?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of law and procedure. Looking at the Petition, I tend to believe that our distinguished Committee might have misused our resources because the intention of the petition is already provided in law. I want to invite you to Section 32 of...

There is a point of information from the Committee Chair.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me canvas my point, so that I do not lose the trail of thought.

Your point is taken.

No, no, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am coming home. I am coming home, kindly. No, you do not know whether I am home or not. Let me conclude. The intention of any statement or any petition or motion---

What is your point of order because, it is still unclear?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on point of law and point of procedure, and of course, point of order under Standing Order No.135 on the accuracy or the information or even the contents of speech. My concern is on what we are intending to achieve yet Section 32 (3)...

There is a point of information from the Committee Chair.

Could I get informed and then I conclude?

No, no. You have now concluded.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, then let me finish. I am aware that you have also a legislative proposal on how deputy governors should be appointed. So, what do we intend to achieve? That is my only concern on point of law and procedure.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the Member that the clause he is talking about is there. However, it uses the word “may” which means it is at the discretion of the governor. What we are saying now is that we should use the word “shall,” to compel...

Sen. Methu I am a good man, occasionally. August 6, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 16

Sen. Methu Sen. Boni is my cousin.

Sen. Methu Madam Temporary Speaker, I wonder what issue Sen. Cherarkey has with the water that he wants me to take. We are very careful these days. I would not have also wanted to disrupt his flow of thought.

Sen. Methu Yes, that is what I am going to, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was just laying a background of why I am standing. I respect Sen. Cherarkey. I am rising pursuant to Standing Order No.105, on responsibility of statement of fact. In the course of his contribution, I have...

Sen. Methu What is out of order, Madam Temporary Speaker, is responsibility of fact. It is not a fact that the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister Raila Odinga has any role in the gazettement of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Referral Hospital.

Sen. Methu What was used?

Sen. Methu Madam Temporary Speaker, I am not withdrawing because I am saying that it is not a statement of fact. We are interrogating what he has said, that he wants to thank the President and the Prime Minister Raila Odinga for the gazettement of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Referral Hospital....

Sen. Methu You are conflicted, then I am sure you can treat it as frivolous. (An hon. Senator spoke off record)

Sen. Methu I respect the Chair, of course.

Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mine is also a follow-up question on a stadium. The people of Nyandarua have had aspirations of having their own Ol Kalou Stadium. The three times the President visited Nyandarua, he promised that we shall get a stadium. There was even...

Sen. Methu The Cabinet Secretary has just said the stadium has been handed over to the Ministry of Defence. He has said that the stadium has been advertised; that is what I have said. As he handed over the Ol Kalou Stadium to the Ministry of Defence, what timelines is...

Sen. Methu

Sen. Methu We are speaking about inclusivity. We cannot speak about inclusivity when we want to exclude some people from doing some business from some place. If you were to argue the same way, the Senator for Nairobi City County would say that people are doing business in Nairobi; then...

Sen. Methu What is your point of order, Sen. Cheruiyot? July 22, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 42 Sen. MethuThe Senate Majority Leader (Sen. Cheruiyot): Apologies to interrupt my neighbour, but I just wanted to request him to cut that part of the clip of what he has spoken in his lucid...

Sen. Methu

Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I seek a clarification from the team from the County Assembly. There has been a fundamental issue that has been raised by the counsel for the Governor; that the County Assembly of Isiolo did not sit. They have gone ahead to...

Sen. Methu

Sen. Methu(Applause)

Sen. Methu

Sen. Methu Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice on this very important matter. We are here to interrogate whether the County Assembly of Isiolo really sat to deliberate on issues of impeachment of the Governor. I had an opportunity of...

Sen. Methu Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) , to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, on a matter of national concern, namely, the safety of potatoes grown in Nyandarua County. Nyandarua County is a leading potato producer and...

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

Sen. Methu Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with tremendous respect to my brother, Sen. Cherarkey, first, he was among those crying due to imputing improper motives on a Senator. Did you hear the Senator for Nandi County allege that I live on a road reserve in Kiambu? I am very surprised...
