• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I congratulate Sen. (Rev.) Waqo for this important Motion. This is a conversation that we have continued to have as a country since the promulgation of the Constitution in 2010. In Article 10 of the Constitution, one of the key words that have been used is ―non-discrimination‖ and ―gender equality‖. Women of this country have come a long way in trying to achieve gender parity in elective and appointive positions in this country. I am privileged to come from a county which produced the first firebrand woman Member of Parliament (MP), ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Pareno did not tell this House which elections board she is chairing. I do not think she is the Chairperson of the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Maybe she would have clarified. All the same, what I was saying is very simple, that Jubilee as a party, we have already sorted ourselves out. With the blessings of Kenyans and of the Almighty God, everything will happen as planned. I want to assure her that there will be an opportunity of exercising that democratic right during the vote. As I mentioned earlier, I come from a ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Cabinet of President Uhuru Kenyatta do not meet the gender threshold. We want to challenge that in future we must ensure that it is 50-50 per cent as we move forward as a country. I want to thank Sen. (Rev.) Waqo. We fully support and look forward to full realization of gender equity. The future for the women of this country is very luminous. I want to assure you that - because I sit in the Committee on Justice Legal Affairs and Human Rights as the Chairperson - we are working on the audit of the general elections of 2017 ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you in welcoming the two schools from Bomet and Muindi Bingu Secondary School. I agree with the Senate Majority Leader. It is sad that way back in 2013, the Senate sought an advisory opinion and it was agreed that there should be concurrence. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Article 109 of the Constitution on exercise of legislative powers, legislative powers have been bestowed on Parliament. For the purposes of those people who advise the President, Parliament means the Senate and the National Assembly. May be, they did not pay attention to that. Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: We must take a position and I hope that this House will allow Members of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to do an audit of all the laws that have been passed without the concurrence, consent and participation of the Senate, and to ensure that the Constitution is followed before these laws are implemented. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we look forward to rectifying all that in order to ensure that things work for the benefit and good of this country. I thank you. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank Kisumu County and all Senators who made it to the Legislative Summit. We are proud of Kisumu County since it is my neighbouring county. I want to assure you that Kapsabet is also ready to host the next Legislative Summit. We might be having problems here and there, but I can assure you we will be ready. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Secondly, I look into a future where the Legislative Summit will include the Members of the National Assembly because the reason we are having claw-back Clauses in this country is because Members of the National Assembly do not appreciate the role, principle and the function of devolution. If this is done, they will assist us in fast-tracking the passage of some legislations that we propose at the Senate, that are made and geared to facilitate and fast track the implementation of devolution in this country. We need a joint Legislative Summit between the Senate, Members of the National Assembly and ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Finally, arising from a meeting that we had between the Legal Affairs Committee of the Council of Governors (CoGs) and the Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, there was a proposal that we need to standardize Standing Orders especially in our county assemblies across the country. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, some resolutions regarding national legislation were made at the CAF and I hope that Members of the Senate and the National Assembly will come to an agreement regarding these resolutions. I assure you that if we include Members of the National Assembly in this Legislative Summit, this will ensure efficiency in the passage and implementation of the Bills that involve implementation of devolution in this country. view
