• 5 May 2022 in Senate: I wish some of these amendments to the election laws could be done outside or one year before the general elections. The Commissioners should be appointed 24 months before general elections. Remember in 2017, some Commissioners were appointed months before the general elections. The question here is: how does a Commissioner build capacity to understand the workings of IEBC? How will they familiarize themselves with the systems if they are not familiarized with electoral matters or have not practised within the election period? view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Secondly, when the Committee came to Kericho County, I brought a historical injustices petition from Nandi and the Committee found it wise that I join them in Kericho. There was serious team of lawyers led by the Chairman, Sen. Omogeni. I want to inform him that the issue of historical land injustices has gotten the attention of the Prince of the United Kingdom (UK). This was even reported in the UK newspapers and the matter has now seized by the British Government. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope the people of Kericho who suffered through displacement; the taking of their land to establish large tea estates within Kericho County will one day get compensation just like the Mau. While in Kericho, Sen. Omogeni learnt that that the Talai Community in Kericho and in Nandi were the same. They got displaced during the colonization period. I hope compensation will come for the people who were affected by land displacement in Kericho and Nandi County but I am happy this issue has caught the attention of the British Government. I hope this matter shall ... view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are not saying that the compensation for land in Kericho is subdividing all the tea estates. Compensation should be done and the tea estates should also continue existing but for the benefit of people in Nandi and Kericho Counties. These two counties suffer from the same problem of land historical injustices. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: I appeal to the Committee to state in their exit legacy report on how we can handle issues of land historical injustices once and for all. We do not want that to be a campaign tool. They have also handled well the issue of Statements. I thank this Committee. It is an important Committee. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have a comment though I would not want to mention on an issue that is before the Court of Appeal. I hope as we go to the next Senate or before we conclude, we should thank our legal counsels who continue to put up spirited fights in courts especially now we have moved to the Court of Appeal. I also thank your secretariat and office for always supporting our Senior Counsels and colleagues. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: I hope when the Senior Counsel appears, I should also be on record. I am willing to do pro bono for the Senate in order to protect the interests of devolution. We have been accused of Senate being a talk-shop and we do not want that. We do not want Senate to be a House that does not have teeth to bite. Sometimes, we summon some Cabinet Secretaries (CS) and they say there is no need to appear because Senate will do nothing to you. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Speaker Sir, I am willing and ready to be on record in the Court of Appeal to defend this House from people who want to destroy devolution in this Republic. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: I thank the Committee and wish them well and congratulate them for a job well done. God willing, if Dr. William Samoei Kipchirchir Arap Ruto becomes the 5th President, I assure them that going into the future, all the recommendations that the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLAC) shall be implemented. Being a Principal of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition, I will ensure that their proposals have passed. view
