• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Kenya where not a single constituency, especially in upper Eastern has been given. It has been said and is a known fact, North Horr, for instance, which is the largest constituency in our country, has had no additional constituency. To purport that Kenya is just a function of its people and not its borders or land, is an under-statement and to run away from the truth. Madam Deputy Speaker, it has been said that North Horr can accommodate Western, Central Kenya and other provinces, but it did not get a constituency. That having been said, Isiolo County for instance, with ... view

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Clause 31, for instance, is expanded to reflect the new normal of data-driven economy and socioeconomic and political rights. These are some of the things we had not anticipated in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Therefore, to amend the structures to ensure that certain aspects that had not been anticipated like this pandemic, issues around data or the fourth industrial estate, this must be accommodated and dealt with through amendments. This is because the strength of our Constitution is in the ability of Wanjiku to amend it to reflect its new realities. Madam Deputy Speaker, I am a little confused ... view

I do not want to go on too much and so, let me conclude. I would like to allude to Article 203 of the Constitution because it--- view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the clarity is as follows: Delimitation is the mandate of the IEBC, but Wanjiku, Cherop and Nduku have a right to propose what they would like. Unless you have an issue with the proposals as given to the proponents, then it is something that at the sovereignty of Wanjiku, she has a right to propose anything under the sun.

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: this with a toothcomb. The fact that the Bill of Rights was untouched is an indicator that the rights and responsibilities of Kenyans were preserved. What is more important is the fact that the rights and responsibilities of Kenyans were preserved. Only structural and other provisions that are easily amended based on the provisions and proposals of Kenyans were included in this.
