• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Every action undertaken by the Multi-Agency Team ought to be backed by the Constitution because it is the only thing that gives us the power to do all the things that we do in this country, including gathering here every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons to deliberate on issues that affect Kenyans. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: A good reading of Articles 244 all the way to 249 of our Constitution will tell you that the Inspector-General of Police should work independently and should not be under the directions of anyone. When you form a multi-agency team and you sit there together with the Attorney-General and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) who is constitutionally supposed to audit the work of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and you participate in investigations, what will you be telling us? The reason why the drafters of our Constitution saw it fit that ... view

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: things that you did politically, all I needed to do was to jump on a platform and declare that you are corrupt. It is extremely unfortunate that what is currently happening is nothing other than a political war. I do not support the kind of war that is being wedged yet we are being reminded that it is war against corruption. Article 79 of our Constitution speaks of us as a country establishing an independent institution called the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission that is supposed to investigate and charge people for economic crimes. It was extremely important for us to ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: I request that you give me three minutes. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if Sen. Halake had followed my argument logically, she would have realised that I am speaking to the dictates of our Constitution. As leaders, of course we can provide a conducive environment against the war against corruption but we cannot pretend to be the champions and people with the constitutional duty on the war against corruption. The reason we have many politicians trumpeting and telling us that we need to support the war against corruption is because it only appears to be targeted at certain people that they have political grudges with. I saw the list of ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I never said anything like that. I think my good friend had a good lunch and probably missed a few words that I said. view

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: The point that I am making is that the easiest way for us to lose the war on graft is when politicians pretend to be the champions. As a politician, I can only support the war against corruption as far as it advances my political course. As a country, if we are serious on the war against graft, let politicians keep off. Let the independent institutions do their work. That is my point. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Statement by Sen. Sakaja. First, it concerns those who live very close to where I used to. I grew up in Umoja, which is a walking distance from Mihang’o and, therefore, I know about the victims that Sen. Sakaja is talking about. It is really unfortunate that we live in a country where the rights of the downtrodden and the poor are disregarded. This is part of the problem that I was trying to explain a few minutes ago; that, in our application and in the war against corruption, let us treat ... view
