• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I conclude, I had been challenged by the Chair, after a point of order by the Senator for Garissa. I had called the Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) a thief and I was supposed to substantiate. I want to substantiate that, indeed, the IEBC Chairman, Mr. Issack Hassan, is not a man of integrity. I have only three points to confirm that. First, I want to table before this House a report of the findings of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the National Assembly of Kenya that was tabled ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought that I had discharged myself very well. I simply avoided going to the specifics that are in the Report. I have even pointed to bullet 6, Part4, on page 86 of the Report. The recommendations are very clear; you will read. But if you want me to say two things that were stolen, then I can confirm to you that the common law jurisprudence of the Commonwealth denotes that the finding by the courts in the United Kingdom (UK), about this same matter, binds our country on the discharge of justice. It was found in ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless we are converting the sessions of this House into a court proceeding, the English definition of the word thief, in ordinary meaning outside the courts, does not mean somebody who has been jailed or convicted. It is somebody who has stolen and whether it has been proved or not, that person is called a thief in English. If you look at the recommendations of the Committee--- view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That is when one becomes accused. You have now gone into the realm of the courts. But in a village like Malinya, when somebody steals a cow, the school children will say; “there goes the thief who stole our cow” as the assistant chief is escorting him to the police station. That is what the Class Four child will say in English. I want to be understood as an innocent Class Two child who is worried that the finding --- view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am in a very tight spot. This is because I am faced with a report of Parliament from our sister House and in bullet five; they have said that they want a special lifestyle audit on Issack Hassan. The report is here, we will be looking at it. These are very serious decisions of the National Assembly. If I start apologizing for it, what will I be saying about Parliament? Will it be that Parliament spoke in vain on 23rd March, 2016 in the National Assembly? As to whether the case will be proved has nothing ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if Sen. Sang wants to refer to other cases as he has mentioned about Kshs12.5 million that the gutter press wrote about me, I agree, they wrote about it. I challenge him to bring any supporting document as I am doing now of a parliamentary process that has spoken of the Kshs 12.5million. He has talked about Tokyo. Yes, it was brought in this House and upon this House taking a decision, the Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Wetangula), stepped down and due process was done. He was discharged and that is why he is free. The ones ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not confirmed. I was working directly with the Committee but I can confirm if you give me time. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what will I do with the judgment by the Public Procurement Oversight Review Board (PPORB) which is quasi-judicial that met and found out--- view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to request most humbly, that the Speaker familiarizes himself with the actual findings of these two authorities that I have tabled here and leave out the allegations I have made about the on goings in the United Kingdom (UK) cases. Look at the findings of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the findings of the Public Procurement Oversight Review Board. If you find that it is not sufficient, I will gladly apologise. We have Kenyans who have lost lives because they want Issack Hassan to go because he is not a man of integrity. So ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for your offer. As you listen to me with utmost respect, I request you to know that I am doing this in absolute good faith and I have no malice whatsoever against Ahmed Issack Hassan. Article 73(1)(a)(iii) requires that a public officer must bring honour to the nation and dignity to the office. For that reason – I know I am taking too much of your time – I invite you to look at the documents that I have referred to and those authorities and guide us in the next sitting. Mr. ... view
