Sen. Sifuna Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is always a pleasure to welcome students from Starehe Boys' Centre. As I have said previously, this is an Institution whose reputation actually goes without saying. The Director, Josphat Mwaura, continues to do a good job. I was very happy and proud that just...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am addressing this House on the 7th August, 2024, and when we talk about pending bills. Let us not forget the longest and biggest pending bills is to the people who lost their lives and were injured during the bomb attack. I...

Sen. Sifuna Madam Temporary Speaker, you have put a direction on the Floor, but I can see all my colleagues standing up and defying the directive of the Speaker. We have just had a similar situation with the Senator of Turkana County and we put it to a vote. We...

Sen. Sifuna Very well.

Sen. Sifuna On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. Sifuna Madam Temporary Speaker, under Standing Order--- (Loud consultations)

Sen. Sifuna Madam Temporary Speaker, I will be very brief because I have seen the application of Standing Order No. 89 twice this afternoon. To me, the more concerning issue is how it is possible that an error affected one vote. However, when the question was put again, you see...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When the Mover was called to reply, there is a request that he put to you; that he would like to see the transmission of this Motion to the leadership of the country, that being the President and the leader of the Azimio...

Yes, Senator for Nairobi City County, what is your clarification? Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When the Mover was called to reply, there is a request that he put to you; that he would like to see the transmission of this Motion to the leadership of the country,...

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Speaker, Sir, personally I find no fault in the manner in which Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has chosen to address this matter because it is not a matter just between him and the Senate Majority Leader. If I understand well, there is a way in which the Executive...

Sen. Sifuna On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If I heard the Senate Majority Leader right, there is one Senator who had not spoken. I do not know what the plan is for that one Senator who had not spoken.

Sen. Sifuna Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, let me start by lauding the leadership of the Majority and the Minority sides that have brought this Motion this morning. To Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot, my brother, you will struggle to make a better speech than what you have made...

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the DPP - I was conferring here with my friend the Senator for Migori County - we were shocked when we heard that a plea bargain had been entered in the Migori corruption case. A governor who had been accused of stealing billions...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Apologies to the students for walking in when the Communication was being made. However, I take this opportunity to welcome them to the Senate and wish them a fruitful visit just as the Speaker has said. I hope that you get to experience...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I second.

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am very proud to be a Senator this time. I am extremely proud of the House. As you understand, my position is that we did not put up a fight last year as a House to grow the basket of devolution. However,...

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

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Sen. Cherarkey. I cannot be ignored. Indeed, the Standing Orders require that we refer to each other as Senators. When Sen. Gataya Mo Fire wants to show us his family tree by referring to his uncles and aunts, then he is out of order.

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I am aware that the entire Government is in the USA. I was looking across the aisle and seeing some of the most vociferous defenders of this Government. I thought they would be on that trip, but they are here celebrating...

Sen. Sifuna I want Members of this House to reflect on their own standing. When you are only invited to trips to the goat auction in Mogoshu, but others are taken to the U.S.A, you should reflect on your standing within your own party. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. First, allow me to commend Members of this committee. As you know, the committee is chaired by my former classmate. It is such bold decisions that make me proud of being a Member of this House. That we can look at legislation...

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you look at the HANSARD, we in the Minority side during debate on the Housing Bill, were of the opinion that housing is a devolved function and it is the legislative mandate of this House to deal with questions of housing. Moreover, we...

Sen. Sifuna Sen. Sifuna, that Statement was dropped.

Sen. Sifuna Do not comment on it.
