• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I said that I have heard conversations amongst my colleagues in the matter of this being a popular initiative. The Co-Chair of the Joint Committee went on record and said that the Committee really agonized over whether this was a popular initiative and how to deal with the Bill. I want to go on record that the body, spirit, mind and soul of this Bill is Executive. What has happened is that this Bill has been clothed with a Wanjiku dress, but when it speaks, you realise that, that is not Wanjiku’s voice. It is ... view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: That having been captured in the Report as a submission by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, the Committee has taken the next bold step. They have gone on record to say that the omission of constituencies and their allocation in the counties is unconstitutional. I have a small challenge when the Committee, in their Report, tell us that we should go ahead and pass the Bill. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: My challenge is simple. When the Co-Chair of the Joint Committee stood here, he admitted that there are even typographical and reference errors. I heard the Co-Chair, to my dismay, asking and pleading to be allowed to harmonize the errors. The question is: Who is supposed to give us the permission to do our work? The people of Kenya, under Article 1 of the Constitution, have delegated their legislative sovereignty and authority to us, the elected leaders. Yes, the people of Kenya, through collection of signatures and views, have said what it is that they want to be done on ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a Bill before us and its processing is captured both in the Constitution and our Standing Orders. I would propose that we debate this Bill with a very open mind of correcting the mistakes and wrongs that have been committed in this Bill. Arguments have been made here--- Some Senators said that they are more than the Senators of their counties, while others have said that their first recourse is to their counties. I want to go on record and say that the only reason I am here is because the great people of Kitui ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of the Kenya National Police Service Commission (KNPSC) and the Office of the Inspector-General (IG) of Police. Some of these things are just self-explanatory. Articles 245 and 246 of the Constitution establish and define the role and responsibilities of both the KNPSC and the Office of the IG of Police. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Clauses 66 and 67 of the proposed Bill attempt to transfer the roles and functions of the KNPSC to the Office of the IG of Police. This is an attempt to create a police State. view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: You remove power and functions from a Commission and put it in the office of an individual. To the extent that matter remains in this Bill, I have a problem with it. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: The issue of the Judiciary has been ably canvassed by legal scholars in this House, including the Co-Chair, Sen. Omogeni. There exists a procedure to discipline judges in the Judiciary. That procedure is clearly stated in the Constitution. It includes the appointment of a tribunal when it comes to removal of a judge from office for whatever reason. view
