• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale knows very well of the contents of the Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 on African Socialism and its Application to Planning in Kenya. It talked about political equity, wealth creation and human dignity. Opinion is divided on that Sessional Paper. There are those who believe that it was a very good paper. Others believe that it only gave resources to areas that were already resourced. Areas that were not resourced were left to suffer. This commitment, from where I sit, speaks to the principle of Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. While the President says that he will ... view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no attempt by any Member of Parliament (MP), elected or nominated, that will make us part of the Executive. Our duty as legislators is to hold the Executive to account. As Sen. Sifuna said, even when the Executive succeeds, this country succeeds. If and when the Executive fails, this country will fail. Therefore, there is no right or wrong in this Speech. Senators and Members of the National Assembly will interpret the Speech from where they sit. They will do what they must do to hold the Executive to account on their promises. view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Lastly, if time will allow, I laud the President for inviting the Legislature to hold the Executive to account. I call upon the President to reign on Members of his party and coalition not to pretend that the President is more of their President than he is the President of the Minority side. view
• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to make my presentation. I hope that going forward, Members, both on the left and the right of the Speaker, will remember the words of my senior colleague, Senator and now Gov. James Orengo, that Governments eat their children. view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I want to join you and my colleagues in welcoming the students who are here on internship. For the record, we need to clarify a point to this country. These students are not attending pupillage, but they are from different disciplines. They are all not lawyers. There are also other disciplines in the internship programme. For our benefit and the benefit of those view

• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: who want to apply for this programme, it is important that they know that the burden of deciding who joins this programme and who does not is not that of the Senate. It is a burden that lies elsewhere. Having said that, I want to make an observation. With your permission, I refer you to Standing Order No.1, which gives you, the Speaker, a lot of latitude and discretion. I beg that we read Standing Order No.1 together with Standing Order No.2. Decisions made by the Chairperson should be based on the Constitution of Kenya, consented laws, messages, precedent, customs, ... view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I want to second the Procedural Motion on limitation of time. Let me hasten to say that there is a reason we would have limitation of time on debates on Motions, Bills and every matter that comes to the Floor of this House. I think this comes from a tradition before this principle of limitation was introduced, where Members would speak on one issue for three hours. At times their intentions were not pure. However, now that we have limitations, it guides and makes us be able to efficiently use ... view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: I can see from my list a few Members. I do not know whether they want to contribute to this Procedural Motion. view
