There was laughter in the Senate today after Kisii Senator Richard Onyoka openly criticised Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei.
The moment started when Cherargei appeared wearing an outfit linked to Kapsabet Boys High School. His dressing caught the attention of many senators in the chamber.
Onyoka stood up and made a statement that made the whole House laugh. He said that sometimes Cherargei speaks very well and shows he is bright, but at other times he behaves in a confusing way.
His remarks quickly attracted cheers and laughter from other senators.
The Kisii senator went on to talk about schools. He said Cherargei studied at Kapsabet Boys, which is a top national school.
Onyoka then compared this to schools where many students from Kisii region study. He mentioned Kisii High School, Cardinal Otunga, and St Mary’s Yala.
His comments were taken as a joke by many in the Senate, although they also had a sharp message. The chamber became noisy as senators reacted, forcing the Speaker to step in and restore order.
Cherargei, who is known for speaking boldly, did not respond immediately to Onyoka’s remarks. He remained calm as the laughter continued in the House.
The incident shows how debates in the Senate are not always serious. At times, leaders use humour to pass their message or criticise each other.
Such moments make Senate sessions more lively and attract public attention. Even though the exchange had some criticism, many people saw it as normal political talk.
