• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: The independence or the separation of the three arms of Government, as it has been said – more so by Montesquieu – and the rule of law go hand to hand, as expounded by John Locke, a British intellectual. We are saying very clearly that even the Judiciary does not interfere with the activities or the functions of Parliament. view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: According to Lord Denning, the Master of Rolls, as he is known, in a point of admissibility of evidence in a criminal justice trial and also in interpretation of the laws, the Judge clearly says that whereas he is not bound by the Parliamentary HANSARD Report, but sometimes he finds himself referring to the said Hansard for purposes of determining the mischief which was intended by Parliament. Therefore, this shows the respect upon which the Judiciary has towards Parliament. The elephant in the House is a rogue Executive. Whenever the Executive in any country decides not to respect the other ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: As I wind up to give other Senators an opportunity, there is a provision, under Article 145, for testing the rule of law, by looking at the impeachment laws. Under Article 145(1), when the President or the Head of Executive commits grave misconduct, Parliament is called upon, especially the Senate, to impeach the Head of the Executive. Therefore, I need to say that His Excellency the President needs to be given proper guidance in law by the Attorney General, so that he will not be caught by this provision of gross violation, because that could be the direction we are ... view

For example, if you compare the private school systems and public school systems, you realize that we do not have such deployments in most of the private schools; and we have never had cheating of this ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: achieved. There is a lot that needs to be done so that the members of the public will be in a position to appreciate the police service. Mr. Speaker Sir, deployment of heavy security does not cure examination cheating at all. That is the reason you will find that even during this time when security is deployed, we still have cases where the CS for Education keeps on reporting very huge numbers of cheating. The corrupt cartels who were found destroying the economy of this state are the same people who, by extension, wreck the education system. We also need ... view

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice with regard to this important debate. Before I start, I wish to go on record that Machakos County will vote ‘No.’ A lot has been said and I do not want to repeat or to be accused of what we call tautology; trying to repeat what other good minded Senators have said. One thing is very clear that borrowing is not bad, but does this country have both the fiscal and monetary discipline to handle this enormous ceiling they are requiring us to approve, the ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: we are not being de-whipped to follow this Motion blindly. We are following it on based on rationality, financial prudence and economic policies which will help this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I oppose this Motion. view
