• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to humbly request that because in your ruling, you said that you are issuing a parliamentary stay for up to 30 days--- I love the words “up to,” because it means you can vary it even before I sit down. I want to humbly plead The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: that, please, for the sake of the people of Taita/Taveta County--- I do not have many friends in that county, but I can assure you that in the last few days, I have received so many phone calls from friends who are from that County. They are looking to this House to save their County from all that has been going on. They look at the circus that has been going on, and their leaders perhaps not agreeing or carry the residents of the County with them. They look upon the collective wisdom of this House to dock the ship ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to further inform the Senate Majority Leader what happened when we were handling the impeachment process for the late Hon. Gachagua. There is a notorious advocate in this town known for flaunting all manner of wealth on social media pages and in newspaper articles about how successful he is. However, when a report on contributions by various county governments was tabled in this House, his law firm was the leading recipient of monies from the CoG. The advocate wanted to represent the late Hon. Gachagua but this House in its wisdom sent him away. ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to join the rest of my colleagues in celebrating your 100 per cent. It is evident from the submissions of all our colleagues that you had scored 97 per cent, but given your very high standards and where our colleagues have placed you in our society, they do not expect anything less than 100 per cent. In your final ruling this afternoon you have clocked it. This is your INEOS moment; you have done your 1:59:40 this afternoon, if I may put it that way. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had a discussion with colleagues from the ‘lower House’ this week on how they arrived at the decision on the issue of National Public Debt. Many of them informed me that they never had an opportunity to debate. It was just by acclamation. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Many people underestimate the importance of the HANSARD. They do not imagine that 20 years down the line, your children or grandchildren will be perhaps in a public spat with somebody who will tell them: “After all, your father or grandfather was there. What did he do about it?” All they will need to do is produce the HANSARD and say: “At least my grandfather, Sen. Cleophas Wakhungu Malalah, opposed or supported it with the following reasons.” It will give you posterity and something to be celebrated about. Therefore, it is not just an issue of agreeing or disagreeing. If ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Perhaps, introspectively as they leave this House, they promise to do better if given a second chance. Therefore, as somebody has observed, it is not just a matter of whether the governor is guilty or innocent. It is also about the opportunity that it will give even to the people of Taita/Taveta to watch. It is my sincere hope that when we finally give both the accuser and the accused to appear before this House, as we sit to understand the issues that have been played out and watched in the media, all the drama that has gone about in ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: I will try not to do that. I was just pointing out that during deliberations this morning, we approached it with an open mind, which is the essence of what you have taught us this afternoon, that when faced with an issue of great national The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: importance like the one before us this afternoon, it always helps to listen to everybody and remove the filters. On many occasions, we give each other filters. We imagine that, for example, if Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. stands to speak, he will speak a certain political persuasion. I do not see a lot of that in this Senate. In this interesting times that we live where you cannot different the Government, Opposition or Minority and Majority sides, having that kind of attitude is what will guide this country. This is because the divide in the Senate will be between good ... view
