• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Senate Majority Leader for urging the House to be present during the two critical Bills that are time bound. However, I appeal to the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Deputy Majority Leader that we miss them in the House. They should be present so that they continue leading us. It is paradoxical for the Senate Majority Leader to appeal to us to be in the House and then watch the proceedings through remote control. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion and congratulate the Senate Majority Leader for what he has just said a few minutes ago. I support this Motion because it will be a milestone in the legislative agenda of the 11th Parliament through this Senate; that we now give this country a well thought out formula based on the benefit of hindsight given that the formula that we have been using, was actually approved by the National Assembly. I sat in that Assembly and I recall very well that we did not pay too much attention to that formula. So, ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If the distinguished Senator from Nyeri had just been a little bit patient, I was building my argument. I was leading to that point that this Senate failed the people of Embu County by failing to put up a robust defense of our decision; both in the High Court and the Court of Appeal or wherever it is. We needed to hire the best legal brains so that we do not fail the people of Embu County. Secondly, we failed the people of Embu County because I have not heard of--- view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I deal with that point of order, I was concluding by saying, that I expected the Senate would again appeal that decision of attempting to reinstate Governor Martin Wambora so that it is not only deliberated upon by the Court of Appeal but also even if we were to lose, we go all the way to the Supreme Court. If that has not been done, I urge that the process be pursued until it is clear to this country that the Senate is still convinced that Governor Wambora was not fit to serve as a ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Those are the Senator’s own words because I never imputed any improper motive against the local lawyers, considering that my own Deputy Speaker is a lawyer of high standing and high regard; not to mention the fact that my daughter and son are able lawyers of the High Court of Kenya. I believe in local lawyers. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I regret that this Senate let down the people of Murang’a County. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: How Governor Mwangi Wa Iria was acquitted, let it remain forever that we let down the people of Murang’a County. Fighting corruption is not an easy thing. Whatever the reasons--- view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Senator for that piece of information. There are many others including Kakamega County where the governor has almost succeeded in defying the Senate. He is yet to appear before us but he is hiding in court. To use Sen. Okongo’s words, he is busy swallowing pain killers when the ailment is still with him. We are going to catch up with him now, tomorrow or later. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my last point is on the issue of insecurity. As the Senate, we must address this dangerous threat. We must now ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. What the country witnessed during the by-election of Kericho should be a wakeup call. How could a governor lock out the Deputy President of Kenya from entering a venue in Kericho which he had secured? If we do not address this, then during the next general election, we are going to be locked out of our venues--- view
