Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, or ‘our MCAs.’ I am happy that Sen. Shiyonga wants to ‘scoop,’ to include herself by using the word “our”. Finally, going into the future, let us partner because our rules complement. We need to work together for the betterment of Nandi County and the Republic of Kenya. As my MCAs go back to their wards and Nandi County, assure our people that one of them - yours truly - will always stand for and fight for more space, resources and opportunity for the great people of Nandi County. With those many remarks, I extend a ...

Sen. M. Kajwang’, was making very brilliant and weighty issues and I was keenly following. Could he confirm to the country whether he is aware that the Senate Majority Leader, the great Senator of West Pokot, Hon. Samuel Poghisio, sees President Uhuru Kenyatta on television yet he is the Senate Leader Majority and President Uhuru Kenyatta is the leader of Jubilee party. Does he have more information than us, or is it because Hon. Raila Odinga is Uhuru’s brother and maybe he has been discussing with Baba somethings we do not know? It should not go on record. Many people ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I congratulate the petitioner for bringing this issue before the Senate. I agree with many of my colleagues in what they said that this is a very unique Petition. When you read Article 148 on Election and Swearing in of the Deputy President, for example, it is mandatory that anybody who wants to become the President of the Republic is to nominate his running mate. The swearing-in of the President and the Deputy is done in the same day. That is why it is called the Presidency. Looking at the design and the architecture ...

The presumption, the substance and the spirit of the Constitution was that these people would be like a couple who will live together and agree on everything. The Constitution did not envisage the crisis that the differences between the President and the Deputy President can create in the country. That fact goes further that in the absence of the Deputy President, that President who assumes to be the President, nominates the senior most Cabinet Secretary. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other day, courts declared these Executive Orders by President Uhuru Kenyatta null and void. Remember in one of the Executive ...

Since the second term of Jubilee, we have seen and everybody knows that the President has technically appointed another Deputy President by the name Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang’i, through Executive Order 1/2018. So, technically speaking in terms of operation of the Government, we do not know why the President is bypassing the Deputy President. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we look at Article 255---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to advise my colleague to be listening to my submissions. I said what is happening now. This is a matter that is in public domain. There is Executive Order No.1 of 2018 and we should understand that English. I said “technically”. I said, President Uhuru has technically appointed his Deputy President outside the elected Deputy President by the people of this Republic. I was just bringing in the reality of what Kenya is going through vis-à-vis the vision, architect and design of the Constitution of Kenya. What this petitioner has brought to us reality ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you need to protect me from the Deputy Senate Majority Leader. When she was talking, I was listening religiously like a good school boy. I am driving the point home, but not going to Rome. I do not know why she is uncomfortable.
