On this issue I have raised on access to justice during this season of the pandemic, I remember when the whole nation and perhaps entire world was glued to their televisions awaiting the ruling on the ill-fated BBI initiative, it took more than two hours of the country waiting because the judges could not log into the Zoom platform. It is a national shame that a country that is endowed resources cannot even purchase--- It showed how starved of resources our Judiciary is; that we have to result to third-rate or perhaps platforms that are not secure. We have scenarios ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want your directions because I feared that you may be caught up in this exchange between Sen. Cherargei and the Deputy Senate Majority Leader and we lose track of the important statement that Sen. Cherargei brought before this House and Members would have wanted to comment on. It was just to plead with you to use your discretion and allow us to say one or two things. This is because as you may be aware, there is an ongoing by-election and two of the three main political parties in the country are complaining along the ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it in order for a Senator to fundamentally misunderstand the Constitution? The Constitution demands of us as legislators that our key mandate is to represent, oversight and legislate. What Sen. Cherargei was doing falls under the armpit of oversighting the Executive. I do not think we are sent here to be representatives of the Executive. If Sen. (Dr.) Milgo feels so strongly about the position of what the Jubilee Government needs to be doing, it is better she resigns and seek for somewhere to work in the Executive. I think she is in the wrong ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we are doing; we are calling out Sen. Cherargei’s tricks of staying longer than usual on the microphone. When he realized that you were beginning to look at your watch and seeing that it is slightly a few minutes, he started showering you with accolades. He was saying that it is through your guidance. That is a form of bribery. Please, do not fall for it.
