• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to make my contribution on this Report because it is good work done by our colleagues. I had the opportunity to listen to the presentation from the Committee itself and now reactions form colleague Senators, after reading it. First of all, I commend our colleagues who served in this Committee for work well done. I have misgivings and areas that I consider fatal to it I will later speak about. However, before I get there, I wish to take time to appreciate that not many Committees of this House go to the depth ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: rest signed. All of them gave reasons why they signed for the equipment. We have read the ridiculous explanation by the Governor of Kakamega County. Much as it may look ridiculous, at that time, we were approaching a general election. This is Kenya and Kenyans are peculiar people. Many a times, they are minimalists in their expectation of issues and how they appreciate different issues. It’s either that you are “yes” or “no”. I think this is a product of the 2005 debate on referendum, where since that time, Kenyans have always known all our debates to be about a ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: The reason I am saying this is because - and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. I agree with you - about two weeks ago I sent a petition to our county assembly about various issues that were of concern to me as the Senator in charge of Kericho. When the recommendations came back, they were just as generic as what is in this report; we are recommending DCI, we are recommending EACC. Fortunately, I took time to call the clerk of the county assembly of Kericho who worked on the report because he is somebody who is known to me. This ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: I am being forced to make a difficult decision this afternoon, to think because time- -- view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you remember I had mentioned something about certain Senators who visited my county at that particular time. I need not say more but some of them have just walked in. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: And forced Gov. Chepkwony that if he does not sign, he will face the music come 2017. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am speaking to the issues that have been brought before us, that as a House of Parliament, we must make a decision. We must vary this business of referring people back to the EACC and the DCI. You must name public officials. The Attorney-General came before us and gave this Committee, because I took time to watch some of the submissions that were brought. On one day he came and said he never signed this contract. On another day, ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: I do not mind waiting for six months. If that decision is a decision that I need to make today and put on hold by either abstaining or voting, ‘no’, until the right decision is made on the recommendation, I find it hard to support this Report in the current context. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: I call upon my colleagues to think through it. Perhaps in the next few minutes as we debate, let people coalesce; let us be given options, but supporting it in the current format, I am afraid is not an option. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, finally, because I know many of our colleagues want to speak on this issue, I have said that Section 58 of our Standing Orders is one of the options that I want to consider as I make a decision on this. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Finally, there are a few challenges on how you guide this project home. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. may know that apart from being granted an opportunity to exercise authority on people who have misappropriated funds, we are also the leaders of this country. This is where we are expected to make a decision on this MES issue. We can deal with the thugs who misled Kenyans into getting into this arrangement but as well appreciate that if I go---. I was in Kericho Hospital about a month ago and I saw the usefulness of some of that equipment. We cannot ... view
