• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must set the record straight. Once sufficient notice is given to a Cabinet Secretary (CS) to appear before a committee of Parliament, there can never be an excuse for not appearing. Being on a trip abroad is not a reason for view

• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: not appearing before a committee of the Senate. It is actually a very shameful excuse. I am impressed by the drafters of our Constitution. This is because they recognized the first responsibility and function of the President is to be answerable to Parliament. CSs who serve at the pleasure of the President must be 10 times answerable to Parliament. I am a bit concerned because - I speak for the Minority side - we had stayed away from the morning session on account of a legitimate court process. Once that process ended, we are back to engage. I do not ... view
• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Allow me to use part of my time to also comment on the issue raised by Sen. Cheruiyot and Sen. Faki. There is a reason why Ad hoc committees are created. They are created on the understanding that the issues they will be dealing with are too weighty and too involving for parent committees to resolve within a reasonable time. view
• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, protect me from the outgoing speaker. I thank you.

It is a debate that we can have and agree on the best way forward. There was a suggestion at some point that we seriously relook at the establishment of the Implementation Committee that did not come to ... view

• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: I am happy to note that, in fact, this is the first one and it should be a requirement that at the conclusion of their business, Ad hoc committees should come up with draft proposals for legislation. They are given latitude and facilitation to undertake their work. I am happy to note that the Committee has come up with a Draft Religious Organisations Bill. I am looking forward to contributing to that Bill when tabled in the House. I am also torn between preaching and debating the Report. I will strike a balance between the two. The things we are ... view

• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is not useful at all. He is repeating what I said. When the Committee started, they were dealing with 95 exhumations, by the time they were concluding there were 429 bodies exhumed. From that day to date, there could be more. I will mix two issues. When apostle Paul was writing a letter to his spiritual son Timothy in the Book of 2nd Timothy 3:2- “You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days, there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, ... view
