Wambua Enoch Kiio

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The way Sen. Cheruiyot is laughing, I do not know what transpired between him and Sen. Sakaja, but it is very curious. It is curious that we should allow strangers to just walk into Parliament, meet our leadership and walk out. What is...

Sen. Wambua: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I spoke in defence of the people of Wajir. I never said anything wrong about them. I do not know--- I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also thank the Majority Leader for accepting to listen to input from Members on this matter.Mr. Speaker, Sir,...

Sen. Wambua Stop Bwana. Stop it! (Laughter) Sen. Abass, what is your point of order?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is so unfortunate that the Senator for Kitui County---

You rise under which Standing Order?

Sen. Wambua Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me conclude by saying this. These governors--- (Loud consultations) The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) Proceed, Sen. Wambua. Sen. Abass, kindly take your seat? (Sen. Abass spoke off record) April 1, 2026 SENATE DEBATES 21 The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) Order. Sen. Abass, I order you to...

Sen. Wambua No, we cannot behave this way. Gentleman, we cannot behave this way. Colleagues, we cannot behave this way. We cannot do this. (Loud consultations) Order. Sen. Abass, I order you to leave the Chamber immediately for the remainder of the day. Sen. Wambua(Loud consultations)

Sen. Wambua Senator for Nairobi City County. (Loud consultations) The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) Serjeant-at-Arms, kindly escort the Senator for Wajir County out of the Chamber. (Sen. Abass was escorted out of the Chamber by the Serjeant-at-Arms) (Sen. Abass threw a water bottle at Sen. Chute) (Loud consultations) Sen. Wambua Mr....

Hon. Speaker, the Senate Majority Leader had requested me and a small group of Senators to proceed to the place where the Governor for Samburu County was addressing the press. We were to do that, so that we escort him into the precincts of Parliament, put him somewhere--- (Sen. Lemaletian...

Hon. Speaker, please, I would not like to be heckled this afternoon. I am in a foul mood. The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) Sen. Hezena, may the Senator for Nairobi City County be heard in silence? You will have your moment.

Sen. Wambua You saw what she did. You have just seen the gestures that she has made. That makes it even worse. However, if you insist that I persevere, I will. I bring to the attention of Sen. Cherarkey that when I personally approached the Clerks-at-the-Table on the matter of...

Sen. Wambua Madam Temporary Speaker, mine could be an expert opinion, if it is important. Again, it is very tough and difficult to rise on a matter that perhaps you have pronounced yourself on.

Sen. Wambua Madam Temporary Speaker, mine could be an expert opinion, if it is important. Again, it is very tough and difficult to rise on a matter that perhaps you have pronounced yourself on.

Sen. Wambua

Sen. Wambua Why is he heckling?

Sen. Wambua

Sen. Wambua Thank you. That is important information. You may proceed, Sen. Eddy.

Sen. Wambua

Sen. Wambua Let him have one minute to finish that statement, please.

Sen. Wambua Go ahead and inform him; he has accepted. March 25, 2026 SENATE DEBATES 36 Sen. Wambua I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. WambuaRiver has the capacity that enables him to comprehend things. Now, here comes a computer or a machine that then simulates the Senator.What is more, it can simulate problem-solving and decision-making. In areas where I think I am creative, it can even simulate me at par. What is scarier...

Sen. Wambua

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to join my colleagues in passing my condolences to the family of the late Sen. Daniel Karaba Mwalimu and to the people of Kirinyaga for losing a leader. I may not have had an opportunity to personally interact with Sen....

Sen. Wambua

Sen. Wambua Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thought you would start by protecting me from the serious allegations made against me by Sen. Cherarkey, that I am scoring bonga points. I do not know what that means. In this House, under Article 117, we are assured of freedom to debate...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order 105 and Articles 94 and 96 of the Constitution to inquire whether it is in order for the distinguished Senator of Kitui County to want the President to do oversight of Kenyatta National Hospital, yet it is this Parliament which appropriates...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. Wambua to introduce the issue of Kenyatta Hospital while in actual fact the Statement is on Nairobi Hospital? Kenyatta National Hospital is as equally important as Nairobi Hospital, but the Statement on the Floor of this House is in regard...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to make some brief comment on the Statement raised by Sen. John Kinyua in regards to the issue of Lariak Forest, which is approximately 7,500 hectares and a breeding ground for elephants. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very...

Asante Mstahiki Spika wa Muda. Ningependa kuchangia Taarifa ya mwenzangu ambaye amedhihirisha kwamba ako na mtirirko na ufasaha wa mawazo kuhusu janga ambalo linakumba Gatuzi la Baringo, na kusababisha vifo na upotevu wa mifugo. Haya ni mambo yanayoshuhudiwa katika nchi yetu. Hivi juzi, tumepoteza watu wengi sana hapa Mjini Nairobi...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to make some brief comment on the Statement raised by Sen. John Kinyua in regards to the issue of Lariak Forest, which is approximately 7,500 hectares and a breeding ground for elephants. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to first make a comment on the statement issued by the Senator of Tana River, Sen. Mungatana, my neighbour. The issue of corruption in county governments has really become of serious concern, not just to this House, but to every Kenyan...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, 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 nationwide concern regarding the use of emergency funds by county governments to purchase seeds for residents in Arid...

Sen. Wambua(Loud consultations) The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Mungatana, MGH) Senate Majority Leader, do you want to be informed by Sen. Enock Wambua?

Sorry? The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Mungatana, MGH) Do you want to be informed by Sen. Enock Wambua?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Bishop has not been in a very good mood this afternoon, but because of our long-standing relationship and because I respect the people of Kitui County, let me allow the people of Kitui to inform me. The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Mungatana, MGH) Sure, Sen. Wambua,...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not think Sen. Wambua has listened to my presentation because that is not what I am suggesting. I have said it is the obvious challenges of enforcing what you are trying to pass. Allow me to read Section 7A of the Health Act, because...

What I am arguing, Sen. Wambua, is that this is a noble initiative. It is a conversation that we must have as a country. If you go to Kenyatta National Hospital today, you will find a good number of patients, I do not know how many, but there is a...

This amendment will not be complete until such a time that we are able to guide the providers of care and these hospital services with ways through which they can get some form of compensation, even if it is not to the full amount, but even at the bare minimum....

Obviously, these indigents that are covered under this programme will want to qualify for such an arrangement. It may require something beyond legislative intervention and some material studies, so that you do not overburden the fund and collapse it in its entirety. This is important, and it is something that...

Sen. Wambua Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am grateful for this opportunity. I wish the Senator of Uasin Gishu was here to see how peacefully the county assembly members from his county are seated with the representatives from the County Assembly of Makueni. That is how things used to happen before...

Sen. WambuaMarch, 17, 2026 SENATE DEBATES 27 March, 17, 2026 SENATE DEBATES 27

Sen. Wambua The one-minute debt to Sen. Wambua is over. Indeed, just to confirm what you said, the Governor of Bomet County declined to appear before the Senate committee. Besides that, there are other contempt proceedings of not only the committees but other courts out of corruption allegations. Sen. Khalwale,...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to make my contribution in support of this amendment. I start by March, 17, 2026 SENATE DEBATES 46 March, 17, 2026 SENATE DEBATES 47

Sen. Wambua

Sen Wambua I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will need your guidance on this Question and maybe even the concurrence of our members, because it is a matter that we raised when we were experiencing serious drought in the country. Now, the situation has completely changed from drought to...

Sen. Wambua I see excitement from Sen. Mutinda and I do not know why. First things first and the leader of Government business in the House must listen to this. When Cabinet Secretaries appear before the Senate, they must be properly guided that they are not appearing before a committee....

Sen. Wambua Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not my business to read the mood of the House because that is your work but clearly these questions have not been properly responded to. Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it possible for you to direct that the Cabinet Secretary goes and prepares herself...

Sen. WambuaThank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to join you and on behalf of my colleagues, welcome the students from Mama Ngina University College in Gatundu to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. They have made the right choice to visit the “Upper” House, especially...

Sen. Wambua I thank you once again, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am asking this question on behalf of my colleague, Sen. Edwin Sifuna. I guess it is now the right time to say that for this purpose, mimi ndiye Sifuna. Why are Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) not autonomous and...

Sen. Wambua Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will ignore the remarks being made from across the aisle and I will proceed to do as directed by the chair. Yes, I have two supplementary questions. One is on the issue of the retooling of the heads of institutions, being called comprehensive...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you to extend a warm welcome to the visiting delegation consisting of young people from across the country who are here on an internship programme. I encourage the young ones to take full advantage of their access to the Parliament of...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the statement by the Senator for Kisii County, Sen. Onyonka, jointly with the comments on the statement made by Sen. Dullo. Let us face it, we are living in very dangerous times. It may look very fashionable today...

Sen. Wambua Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity that you have given me to also contribute to this Bill, the Culture Bill 2024, which has been sent to us from the National Assembly. From the onset, I must say it is a bill that perhaps should...
