Sen. Mungatana, MGH Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want the Cabinet Secretary to tell us what is the Government Policy when you take land that belongs to the people for irrigation purposes as you did in this case in Tseikuru and then you take so long to do it. I...

Sen. Mungatana, MGH Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very straightforward Motion that requires extension of time, so that we can consider a Memorandum that was brought by the Institute of Environmentalists. This Memorandum raises substantive issues about the charges that have been proposed in this new regulation. The contention...

Sen. Mungatana, MGH Madam Temporary Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank the honourable, indefatigable, legend Senator from the great county of Kakamega for ably moving this Bill before this House. This Bill has only 10 clauses. It is one of the most important Bills that defines the duties of...

Sen. Mungatana, MGH Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale, with a bit of concern in some of the areas the Senator is asking. We truly understand that it is indeed a constitutional right for people to picket and seek their...

Sen. Mungatana, MGH Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Equalisation Fund is not charity; it is a constitutional obligation under Article 204 of our Constitution. The people who framed the Constitution understood that if we do not deliberately empower the very forgotten corners of our country, then we risk...

Sen. Mungatana, MGHThis means every friend that you stay with, every person you play basketball with, go to church with or even members of your social welfare group. There is a problem here with this word and the intention cannot be to expose people to this extent. It is obviously...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, just like Sen. Mungatana has said, overriding a presidential referral is an uphill task because it requires two-thirds Members of this House to change that. However, it should go on record that there is an ambiguity in the definition of a relative, particularly the word affinity. What...

Sen. Mungatana, MGH Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to seek a clarification. I want to hear from counsel for the County Assembly. There is a question that has arisen about the High Court sitting in Meru that nullified the decision that was taken through a...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The people who have appeared before us this morning have taken an oath. I believe Mr. Amin swore by a Quran and the others lifted a Bible. When I had read a Quran some time ago, it strongly condemns murder. Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Murkomen, you...

Yes, Sen. M. Kajwang’.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am assuming that the IG is proceeding sequentially. He has conveniently avoided two questions that I asked. I wanted to know why the Deputy Inspector General of Police is still in office when he was very quick to interdict or give directives for junior officers to...

Mstahiki Spika wa muda, katika falsafa yangu, nilisema ya kwamba katika siku mbaya, siku ya aibu ya kuku, upepo ambao unafungua kuku manyoya na kuiacha uchi huwa unatoka nyuma. Nilipeana mfano wa wale ambao watakuja nyuma na kuongea mambo mengi kwa sababu hawakuwa kwenye mkutano. Asante sana. Sen. Mungatana, MGHimprove...

Just a minute, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Sen. Mungatana, what is your point of order? Sen. Mungatana, MGH(Loud consultations)

Maybe, he is disagreeing with the Report of the Committee, which is also allowable in our Standing Orders. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Mungatana wants to be educated on why you are exonerating Dr. Steven from the negligence that led to the death of Jepkorir?

Sen. Mungatana, MGH Sen. Omogeni evaded everything that I asked him. In his logic, he has denied that he was ever a prominent member of the handshake government, something that we know very well. I know how powerful he was but then, if that is a logic, I wanted to...
