• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order has got two arms. The first one is a request that probably the originator of the Statement should allow us to go through that list so that we see who these beneficiaries are because this is an area that we know has challenges. You remember in the last Parliament, there was a petition from squatters of Trans Nzioa and they were far much more than the one he has talked about in respect of Chepchoina. Maybe, you could give us more time to peruse the list and confirm. Finally, is the Chairman in ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am so unhappy that Sen. Murkomen wants to use the bad history that this Constitution was trying to correct, to the effect that some of the people who are on this list, armed with a letter from State House, then acquired public property unfairly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as he misleads us, he knows very well the Constitution of Kenya, Article 67(2)(e), says that the National Land Commission shall; “initiate investigations on its own initiative or on a complaint into present or historical land injustices and recommend appropriate redress.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, this very clear and strong ... view

• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I concur with him fully but as I said at the beginning, I am not an expert on the special needs in all the counties. If there is a different need, it is up to you as the father – to use Sen. Kivuti’s language – to come and advise this House. So, for the first nine, what you have said applies. Marsabit County Government to be seated in Marsabit Town, Isiolo County Government to be seated in Isiolo Town, Meru County Government to be seated in Meru Town, Tharaka- Nithi County Government to be seated in ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Because the Sen. G.G. is supporting me, I am so reluctant to rise on a point of order. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to confirm to the Member that what he is saying is not true. The hierarchy of laws is such that the Constitution is at the top and that the National Assembly then follow and these other ones are below those levels. Therefore whatever will be decided will not in any way overwrite what we decide here. view

• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I respond to the point of order raised by Sen. Haji? But before I do that, I am not His Excellency; I am Sen. (Dr.) Bonny Khalwale of Kakamega County. I would like to draw the attention of the House to Article No.191 of the Constitution of Kenya which speaks to the conflict of laws. Article 191 (1) states as follows:- “That this Article applies to conflicts between national and county legislations in respect of matters falling within concurrent jurisdiction of both levels of Government”. If you go to (2), it then clearly says:- “National ... view
