Onyonka Richard Momoima

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to first of all thank you for giving me this opportunity. With a lot of humility, I would like to say that I congratulate my friend and young brother Sen. Allan, the Senator of Trans Nzoia County. November 11, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 7...

Sen. Onyonka Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to make a few remarks about this discussion we are having in the House. It is interesting that if you look at the United States of America (USA) right now, the government is having a shutdown because of events which...

Sen. Onyonkaambayo yamenyakuliwa, mengine yako na title deeds zaidi ya moja, mengine ni mashamba ya shule ambayo yamenyakuliwa na mabwenyenye na wakajenga mahoteli na vitu kama hivyo.Ombi langu ni kuwa, NLC ijue kwamba iliundwa lengo lake likiwa kusuluhisha shida na vita ambavyo viko pale mashinani. Wakijihusisha vilivyo, hakutakuwa na maskwota...

Asante sana. Naomba mwasilishi wa Hoja aweze kujibu.

Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Naona unajitahidi kwa Kiswahili kwa sababu juzi tulipokuwa Meru, ulipata shida kutamka “utepetevu”. Asante kwa kunipa fursa hii. Namshukuru Sen. Beatrice Ogola kwa kuunga mkono Hoja hii. Vilevile namshukuru Sen. Onyonka ambaye alihudhuria mikutano na vikao ambavyo tulifanya na watu wake wa Kisii kuhusiana na swala...

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Speaker, Sir, I basically want to discuss the matter that I listened to Sen. Cherarkey raise. As usual, Kenyans have very good ideas. The problem is how we implement or mis-implement them. Sen. Cherarkey said it very simply out here, but I do not think he said...

Sen. Onyonka Only one question, hon. Senator.

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Witness, I have looked at annex three on page 17 and your response. So, in this, you can confirm that the 33 MCAs voted in the affirmative of the Motion. Is it true? Was the system compromised as per your understanding in your expertise? I thank you.

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Speaker, Sir, before the expert sits down, I need a clarification. How many people---

Sen. Onyonka

Sen. Onyonka: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the record, I am an IT expert with verifiable credentials and background. My friend in the profession, there are four MCAs whom it is contested whether they voted or not. Three of them are Chepkirui Edina Tonui, Bosibet Kibet Hilary and Martin Kiplangat had...

Sen. Onyonka Where did you get this data from?

Sen. OnyonkaNo, sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is basically on electronic voting. What I want you to clarify, because it is a matter that we have discussed as Members of this sitting; when the voting was done electronically, did you people have a manual system in case the electronic system...

Sen. Karen Nyamu, you may proceed.

I would like to ask the MCA, before this impeachment Motion, had the Kericho County Assembly ever used electronic voting before? What safeguards are in place to prevent alteration of votes once they have been cast? On Kazi Mtaani, can you under oath provide any documented instance to show that...

Sen. Boni.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Hon. Member would help a lot. In his opening remarks, the counsel for the County Assembly told us that the Governor is a very bad man. Is it your evidence that he is a bad man? If so, the people of Kakamega are waiting....

Sen. Mungatana.

Sen. Mundigi.

Sen. Onyonka Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Former CECM, I do not know whether this question should be directed to you or your counsel because I assume the two of you to be the critical witnesses for---

Sen. Onyonka I should not have gone that way, but let me say this. Do you find anything that is uncomfortable with you being a witness who worked with the Governor and he fired, including the gentleman who was there and also fired? What does that make you feel? Did...

Sen. Onyonka Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also join my colleagues in welcoming, Sen. Consolata, to this House. I would like to tell her something that this not very different from what Sen. Onyonka has said, that she should know why her predecessor was removed and that she...

Sen. Onyonkayet in reality when you try and find out deeply what is happening with the KEMSA story, you find the same challenges do exist in the system of purchasing medicine.If you look at the facilities that we visited in the last two months, as I joined the Senate Committee...

Thank you, Sen. Onyonka. Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, you may proceed.

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education on a matter of August 5, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 15 Sen. Onyonkanational concern regarding irregularities in the payroll system of the Teacher Service Commission (TSC).The Auditor-General’s...

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to congratulate my brother, Sen. Osotsi, for having brought this issue to the bearing of Members in this House. Secondly, I thank my Chair, Hon. Abass, who in the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, has stood studiously...

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the problem with my senior counsel, Cherarkey, does not understand that nonsense means nothing. It is not a derogatory term. I understand he went to Kaplamai Primary School while I went St. Mary’s. That is with a light touch.

Sen. Onyonka Yes. (Sen. Onyonka resumed his seat)

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the school that I thought he attended is not the one. I would like to re-evaluate my interpretation of his capacity. I would like to say he has done very well. I want to give accolade and the respect he deserves without diluting my...

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think my colleagues do not--- (Sen. Cherarkey spoke off record)

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wanted to mention to my colleagues--- (Sen. Cherarkey spoke off record) Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, please protect me from Sen. Cherarkey.

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, they have really destabilised my thinking pattern, but I will pick up. I wanted to mention that even when we are looking at the weighty issues--- (Sen. Cherarkey spoke off record)

Sen. Onyonka Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude and I will proceed. I wanted to mention that county governments are the last line of defence for Kenyans for the simple reason that funds have been devolved. For some of us who have been through this historically, educationally or...
