• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just assisting my friend the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transportation to look to other sources of information so that they can revive the stalled road projects across the country. I assure the House that I am a peace-loving leader. Despite the fact that I am being politically persecuted, I know we shall overcome. I thank you. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. I congratulate you for the well-researched and concrete ruling that you have given today afternoon. You have reasserted the intention, spirit and the letter of the Constitution. Article 181 of the Constitution has espoused the grounds in which a county governor can be removed from office. I am happy that you have stated that the people of Kenya still have the power to elect or not elect their leaders. Many people would have thought they can use courts of law to elect or select leaders to their offices, especially the governor. I agree with ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: as we anticipate the challenges that are in Samburu and Kiambu counties, that does not give justification or license for anybody to disrupt the implementation of devolution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, if you allow the courts and such individuals to push the agenda through any way, I can tell you that we will be removing the power of the people that has been given in Article 2 of the Constitution, where the sovereignty of the people can be practiced only through elected representatives. Secondly, it is important that you have reassured and instilled confidence in the future of devolution. This is ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: give their views to the BBI Taskforce. They fully support devolution, and they want it to work. However, the agencies that fight corruption in these countries should be careful as they investigate and prosecute. Let them not rush to the dailies to publish stories and put it in the media before having a concrete case. We agree that our counties have a problem with issues of corruption. However, that is not a justification to use it as blackmail or with the aim of using it for political gain or the weaponisiation of corruption. I agree that those are some of ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you and I appreciate that when I raised that point of order on a constitutional aspect, you have given it life. We now have a different perspective, so that in future when we are developing Bills, amendments, Motions, statements or any matter that comes to the House, we will have a compass that will lead us to the right direction; to the full steps of Jesus Christ. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I congratulate the Chairperson of the Committee on Energy who is the Senator for Nyeri. This Bill is a clear indication of innovative thinking. I am lucky because my legal name is also my nickname and it worked to my advantage. Nicknames are unique unlike the legal names. We should give people the option of knowing who their leaders are just as they have the option of choosing their leaders. Most Members of Parliament have nicknames that can easily be associated with them. Therefore, even the leadership at the national and county level, Members ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights deliberated on this issue, which is our purview. We thought that it was a very innovative idea; like Sen. Olekina said, his Maasai name is ole Cheput. I do not know how you pronounce that Maasai name, but it can be includedso that people know that Sen. Olekina is now Sen. ole Cheput. It even becomes easy as he runs for any seat in the future. Legally, of course, it has been tedious to change a name, especially after marriage. When you change to another name, sometimes ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: I do not know, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because as Sen. Kihika has said, I wish that the owner of the Bill,Sen. (Eng.) Maina,could be very careful. This is because I can have three or four names that are known. I could be having a Swahili name because I The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
