• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with your interpretation of the law. That is why I hastened to add: “Which to me means, the Senator for Nandi County.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak on this very important Motion. Along with my colleagues, I wish to congratulate the team that we appointed to look into these issues. It was a quality team with reflected the face of Kenya. It was a team of the young and old. It was a team that cut across religious loyalties. Most importantly, it was a team in which both sides of the political divide sat and deliberated. The fact that they have produced this good report, demonstrates that important issues facing this country can be ... view
• 15 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My comments go to all other amendments that have been proposed. The issue of approving constitutional office holders is very important, because the Senate at the end is the guarantor of the Constitution. These constitutional commissions and independent offices have been given a specific role of implementing the Constitution, the way it is.

• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the so called Wako Draft was not actually Wako Draft. It was a draft directed to the Attorney-General (AG) to draft specifically by Parliament at that time, which said: “We want the draft along the following lines.” So, it was Wako Draft I and it failed.

Murkomen may claim the amendments to the Constitution. However, as Chairman of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, I would ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is, indeed, a very sad episode that has happened, but the worrying thing is that it is not the first one. Every time such episode has occurred, we have had statements from the Ministry of Health that all hospitals are supposed to admit people without payment. It is like a policy in that Ministry. Therefore, the answer should also include; 1. How is that policy being enforced? 2. I heard the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in a interview about the same on Citizen TV, saying that the 18 hours refer to the total amount of time used ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: In addition to what Sen. Wetangula has stated, this Act is old, and the penalties are very lenient. I believe also that the machinery for discipline and prosecution is non-existent, because I heard the Chairman of the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board say that they have only five or ten inspectors for the whole country, whereas maybe those inspectors or investigators--- view
