• 12 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I thank our Chairperson of KEWOSA and Members of KEWOPA for the spirited campaign they have put to ensure that the issue of the two-thirds gender representation is realised. We looked at what the IPU proposed and followed the processes ever since we started the Constitution making process in our country. After the Bomas Draft Constitution, we thought that the women of Kenya had won, but we realised later that we had actually lost. The Committee of Experts followed up the process, safeguarding the gains at that time. We ended up with a ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the fifth time the Senate Minority Leader has been complaining so much about the proxy vote. However, when I look at Article 98 of the Constitution, I cannot see the word ‘proxy.’ The Article 98 (1) 9(b) provides that:- “Sixteen women members who shall be nominated by political parties according to their proportion of members of the Senate elected under clause (a) in accordance with Article 90” In Article 123 (4) (b) that brings in the issue of delegation of voting it provides that:- “The person who votes on behalf of a delegation shall determine ... view

• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. I also rise to support this Bill bringing into perspective what happened a few weeks ago when our children started examinations. When we look at the situation now, we ask ourselves as a House of Senate, if indeed, the children who a have just finished their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams will really one day not be affected by what we saw of the examination management and procedure; on how the examination was handled and the cheating that took place. I want to thank Sen. Musila that we are now coming to ... view
• 6 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are here for a very serious matter. We are talking about the impeachment of the Governor of Murang’a County and the people of Murang’a are watching us. It is very unfortunate to keep them in anxiety wondering, the Senate has just adjourned, we are back and we are about to adjourn again. It is important that you give a ruling. Indeed, the people of Murang’a want to see justice done to them. Kenyans are eagerly waiting for the outcome of this Motion. It is important to give them that assurance that, indeed, we are waiting for ... view
• 6 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have set a new precedent in our House. With the points of order that we have had, we have opened a debate.
