• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: The tribunals are under Article 159 and 169. I have tremendous respect for my learned seniors, Sen. Sifuna and Sen. Omogeni. However, intellectual dishonesty should not take us to make comments that are convenient because of political expediency. Sections 40 and 41 of the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal (PPDT) provides how disputes can be resolved within three months. Sen. Sifuna has said that it is their field, where they thrive. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are not saying that you should prefect or manage the affairs of political parties. However, you have an obligation to protect the law. If this ... view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree and support your decision. Let the Minority side be patient. Patience does not hurt anybody. When changes come, you will communicate as per the law, so that we do not run this House, the way all of us want. Mr. Speaker, Sir--- view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.190 on the Senate Business Committee and its role; No.17 on the Conduct of business during vacancy; No.18 on Presiding in the Senate; and No.19 on Presiding in Committees of the Whole. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have ruled that you shall communicate. I am surprised because my friends – including Sen. Osotsi and the Senate Minority Leader – are alleging that they have not seen a court order. However, if you were keen, Sen. Sifuna was waving a court order. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: You used it when you are presenting yourself--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, protect me so that I prosecute my point. This intellectual dishonesty is unfair. You have given a ruling; why are they challenging your authority and yet, they want to use your authority to prosecute their agenda? It is out of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you do not sit alone in SBC. The membership of SBC includes the Speaker as the Chairperson, the Senate Majority Leader, the Senate Minority Leader, the Senate Majority Whip and the Senate Minority Whip. So, if there is any issue that needs to ... view

• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point is that Kenya Kwanza, the ruling coalition, needs to be honest with this country. If we are not respecting the rule of law, then why are we here? Sen. Abdul Haji and Sen. (Dr.) Oburu are welcome to Kenya Kwanza as a ruling coalition. If the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) wants to defect to Government, there is no problem because that is the essence of political parties’ democracy. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am still on a point of order. I do not know why Sen. Olekina is getting agitated yet I listened to him. In conclusion, let no one intimidate or challenge your authority. You are the absolute authority. If you have made a ruling that we proceed with SBC, so be it. Anybody who behaves in an unruly manner should be thrown out according to Standing Order Nos.123 and 121 just like what was done to me. view

I am saying this being aware that we are past the Statement hour. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Kenyans and everybody should know that when we give comments or when we ride on Statements of our colleagues, it is provided under the Standing Orders. view
