• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. As the people’s chairman and former Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we put a lot of effort into this to ensure it was a success. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: I thank Senior Counsel Sen. Orengo and my successor, Senior Counsel Sen. Omogeni, and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. It reached a time that only a few of us were in Milimani Courts. We did a lot which I am proud of. On a light note, even if I was dewhipped, let these people not dewhip the work I did as the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I hope Sen. Kang’ata is listening. Petition 284/2019 was consolidated with Petition 353/2019. I can confirm what the Senate Minority Leader has said that we have two days. ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 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
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: It is my prayer that this matter is heard and concluded because the Senate needs its space. We must move forward. The Senate leadership should not allow any other way to resolve the issue. If we do not allow the courts to pronounce themselves on this matter, after sometime, we will go back to the same issues. The other day the National Assembly tried to lecture us on our role. We cannot allow that to happen. I encourage my colleagues that we be in court tomorrow either virtually or physically, to give moral support to the lead senior counsel. Others ... view

• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. Mine is to agree largely with colleagues that we thank Mr. Mutembei for having faith in the Senate. However, I want to agree with most of our colleagues that we should not be in the business of micromanaging the running of county affairs through the County Public Service Board or human resource. I wish this matter would have come to this House as a matter of general policy and principles, where the guidance of the Senate should have been sought. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, I want to invite colleagues to look at ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. This matter of national gravity should be taken with the seriousness it deserves. Madam Deputy Speaker, for your information, the Council of Governors (CoG) sat today in their Extra-Ordinary Summit. They did discuss this House alleging that the lack of funds--- They have said that even devolution is under attack, yet we cannot be able to canvass on the Floor of the House, so that Kenyans can understand where the truth is. Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg of you to give us an opportunity of two to three minute to canvass on ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I agree and support Sen. Halake on this Statement. The introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) on renewable energy is unfortunate and is encouraging the use of pollutants that are not environment friendly. The world is moving towards renewable energy and when you look at Article 242 of the Constitution, which talks about clean and healthy environment, the only way to ensure that there is clean and healthy environment as provided for and envisioned by the Constitution is when we zero-rate and encourage Kenyans towards renewable energy. For us who grew up in the village ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I congratulate Sen. Faki for bringing this Statement. This is a clear violation of labour rights as enshrined in Article 41 of the Constitution of Kenya. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: It is sad that in these days and age, there are Government employees in one of the parastatals that have gone for six months without pay. It is not only inhuman but sad. I can only imagine the pain and anguish their families are undergoing because they cannot buy food and pay rent, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic period. view
