• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Chairman. I would like to also contribute on the contentious Clause 44(a). This Bill was committed to the Committee and there was public participation.

What was the purpose of public participation if we will ignore their contributions? We need to take the views of the public as per the Constitution. I think the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Kenya National Chamber of ... view

The National Assembly wants to hive off some of the words and before you realize it, you will find that the Senator is irrelevant. The mandate of the Senate is to protect counties. There is no reason why they should remove the Senate to give themselves the role of delimiting the boundaries. According to the Constitution, the commission has this role of determining boundaries. So, I do not see the reason why the National Assembly should take over a role that is not ... view

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I also stand to protest about the issue of one minute. When you look at Article 117 of the Constitution, it gives privileges and immunities of Parliament to the majority leader and the leader of the minority party. Therefore, I find it a bit of an insult when the microphone is switched off when the Senate Minority Leader is speaking on behalf of the people. I support the amendment. view
