• 13 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will stay with that line of questioning to Senior Counsel Katwa Kigen. Supposing there is an admission on the part of the witness, that indeed he participated in a criminal activity, would that absolve the Deputy Governor from liability of a similar crime? Secondly, you said the reason you are pushing that line of gambling is to demonstrate before this House that the witness cannot be relied on and that he has a history of using easy ways to get money. Is it then your admission that we should never expect any truth from a ... view
• 13 Mar 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have two quick questions. Madam Lucy, did you have any other cash transactions before you received M- pesa from his account? Secondly, when you called him on 29th about the money you received on 28th, did he tell you explicitly that the money was meant to influence your decision on the job in question? view

• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I thank Commissioner, Sen. Omogeni, for updating the House on the status of the release of funds, especially for operations of our respective county offices. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are now beginning to play hide and seek with the electorate and even our members of staff. This is because the funds that Sen. Omogeni has made reference to for the operations, Senators will use for tea in their offices and for hiring taxis to different destinations. The amount of debt that has been accumulated by the respective offices of Senators are staggering. ... view

• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, there is an issue that has been raised by the Senate Majority Leader. The court pronounced itself on this matter and said that the collection of tax was unconstitutional. The Senate Majority Leader has said that it is the work of Parliament to legislate in whichever way. Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I want a ruling from you whether Parliament can legislate outside the Constitution. This is because the Constitution is very clear. It protects itself. The supremacy of the Constitution, and it says in black and white in Article 5 that- “Any law including customary law, that ... view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, on that proposed amendment 42(C) I totally and completely oppose it. Yes, we will do that but it is an amendment that goes contrary to the Constitution on property rights. The law itself has been declared by the courts to be unconstitutional. Then, you are bringing an amendment that is completely unconstitutional. On this one, I strongly and totally oppose. view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, it will be difficult for you and for this House, if the management of who speaks and who does not is directed by Sen. Cheruiyot. I fully support the amendment proposed by Sen. Omogeni that the units of national Government that have been put in this housing programme be deleted and we retain the county governments. Our responsibility as the Senate is to protect the interests of counties and county governments and devolution. Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, it is not our work to claw back on devolution by introducing national Government agencies in functions that are ... view
