• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember that report was debated. I personally and many other Members contributed to the Motion. So, in a report of the House where there is no requirement to vote on, if the Motion was debated and concluded--- I know it was debated and quite a few of us contributed on that Motion. view
• 25 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Motion. I am confident that the distinguished hon. Senators whose names are listed here will be able to run the business of this House very well. Even as we start this year, it is becoming very clear that the role of the Senate is in fact, far much wider than we had thought when this House was inaugurated in March, 2013. What has become very clear is that in addition to oversight of the national responsibilities, the Senate has a wider responsibility when you look at the 47 county ... view
• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to seek your guidance; I am not an expert on the Standing Orders – I ought to be, but I am not. In the afternoon, there were two Reports that were tabled; one in respect of the Governor and the other one, as you said, in respect of the Deputy Governor. I thought – and that is why I seek your guidance – that if a Report is tabled by a Committee of the House, then that Report – whether it absolves the Deputy Governor or not – in my ... view

• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I lend my support to this Motion. As the Deputy Chair of the Committee, Sen. Murkomen said, it is really a sad thing, but at the same time it is also positive. It is sad because we are the custodians of devolution, but this is happening too early in devolution. But it is always better to excise a tumor when it is first discovered than to leave it until it spreads to the rest of the body. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we owe our duty to the Constitution and our citizens. I want to clarify three ... view

• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In the same County Governments Act, the first ground that the Governor has been given in terms of powers for sacking or dismissing a county executive officer, do you know what it is? It is incompetence. It is very important for us to appreciate that the county governor must be in charge. To the extent that he is not in charge of what is happening in the administration, then, unfortunately he has to pay for the consequences. I appreciate the report by the team and I want to urge Kenyans that this not ... view
