• 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, our Standing Orders are clear. If a Member wants to discuss the conduct of another Member, they know what to do. The Speaker of the Senate is a Member of this House. The Speaker of the National Assembly is a Member of the National Assembly. Therefore, if he is not comfortable with the way they put their clothes on, let him approach the House with a Motion and we will dispense with it. Is he in order to discuss the conduct of Speakers of this Parliament without a substantive Motion? view

• 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Looking at the Constitution of Kenya, it has specified that the Chief Justice must be properly schooled in law. That is one arm of Government. The other arm of Government, the Executive; the President must have a degree. What is wrong in insisting that the third arm of Government, the Legislature, Speakers must have a degree? view

• 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: It is important that they have a degree. Kenya has come of age. We have many graduates on the market in all fields. I want to use this opportunity to encourage our brothers and sisters who are lawyers in the Republic of Kenya to not be afraid of other professionals from other disciplines. If you are a lawyer like Sen. Edwin Sifuna and you want to be a Speaker, you will compete with professionals from other disciplines. If you are better than economists, engineers or surveyors, you have no chance against doctors, you will prove it. view

• 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: I, therefore, agree with the petitioner that we should insist that only lawyers at the county level and the national level should be Speakers. I want us to teach our children that when we insist on academic qualifications, it is not because we are looking down upon those who do not have education to that degree. We are simply using it to say that if you must fly a Dreamliner, you do not use a matatu driver. view
