Sen. Sifuna Sen. Kinyua, can you take your seat, please.

Sen. Sifuna You are not on a point of order. He is on a point of order. Sen. Sifuna is on a point of order, you are not. (Laughter) Sen. Kinyua, can you take your seat, please. Sen. Sifuna(Laughter)

Sen. Sifuna

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Speaker, Sir, can I conclude? A few weeks ago, we were with you here when the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) games were going on. It is a similar thing with the Christmas holiday. We had problems raising quorum in this House, if you remember. It is...

Sen. Sifuna, just take your seat. Hon. Senators, it is not the wish of the Chair to send any Senator out of this Chamber. However, that is my wish and may not necessarily carry the day today. The Standing Orders will carry the day today. (Applause) Sen. Sifuna Thank you,...

Sen. Sifuna Sen. Orwoba, may the Senator be heard in silence, please. (Sen. Orwoba spoke off record) Sen. Sifuna, kindly proceed and conclude your contribution.

Sen. Orwoba, we are not in some market in the outskirts of Nairobi City County. If you need to make a point of order, you press the button. It will be upon the Chair to give or deny you the platform. Kindly proceed, Sen. Sifuna. Sen. Sifuna Mr. Speaker, Sir,...

Sen. Sifuna Sen. Orwoba, what is your point of order?

Sen. Sifuna If you want all of us to spend Christmas here, it is also okay.

Sen. Sifuna

Sen. Sifuna I thank you

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a bit surprised that very senior Members of this House are making what I consider ludicrous proposals to you. I think what they are inviting you to be is somebody who is breaking the rules of this House, and a power unto...

Sen. Sifuna Sen. Cherarkey, that is tough

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Speaker, Sir, if Sen. Orwoba was my neighbour, I would have donated my one minute, but, unfortunately, she is too far for my magnanimity to reach her. I have engaged with this issue as a leader of a political party. We have seen it from the prism...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is a bit difficult to speak after my brother has given us such an in-depth analysis. I was introduced to this term, biopiracy, yesterday. I did not know it existed. My greatest concern upon learning of the export of trees was the...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I was starting to get worried that you would not get to acknowledge our visitors from Emerald International School. I join you in welcoming them to the Senate. We had an interesting conversation with them this afternoon. I assure the House that they...

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just seeking your guidance. I do not know whether I should proceed? I want to add one word to this.

Sen. Sifuna I am very happy that this particular Statement is being sought. I am personally very passionate about sports and sporting facilities especially here in the city where we have a lot of talents. So, I will be looking forward to this Statement. It continues to break my heart...

Sen. Sifuna

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to compliment Sen. Cherarkey. This is a pertinent issue. In fact, it is a matter of great national importance given that Nairobi accounts for over 57 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country. The contractor should actually not...

Sen. SifunaWe would want the contractor to be brought before our Committee on Roads Transportation and Housing. KeNHA should also answer the questions that have been very well put by Sen. Cherarkey.We need to know the plan of restoration of Mombasa Road, how long it is going to take, how...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Bill just as many of my colleagues who have spoken before me have done. I was a bit surprised by some of the submissions that I heard from my senior brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the Senator...

Sen. Sifuna Bw. Spika, naamini ya kwamba Seneta anaposimama kuzungumza hapa, lazima aweze kuzungumza maswala ambayo anaweza kudhibitisha. Sidhani ya kwamba Seneta wa Kaunti ya Mombasa - ambaye namheshimu sana - anaweza kutoa idhibati yoyote kuonyesha kwamba uvutaji wa bhangi unapelekea watu kuruka vichwa. Hiyo ndiyo hoja yangu ya nidhamu.

Sen. Sifuna(Applause)(Laughter) (Laughter) November 9, 2022 SENATE DEBATES 45 Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to the Motion in its amended form. The reason I support this Motion with a lot of confidence is because this House has demonstrated to me, somebody who is...
