• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the point we are putting. You have brought a name here this afternoon from the majority side. In fact, you have included two. If you cannot accept some of the basics, at times the High Court gives you an easy way out. You should respect court orders. The President of this Republic is in office because we respected a court order. Senate Majority Leader, it does not matter. view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at times the country should be bigger than us individuals. The High Court made a decision. They make decisions and we respect. Often times, we express our views as lawyers that we may not agree, but we respect. Consequently, we expect the Government of the day to also respect court orders. Otherwise, we will degenerate into anarchy. If you are a student of history, you know that countries have fallen because they first began by disobeying court orders and not having what lawyers will call a state of rule of law. How do you bring names ... view

• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have really struggled to understand the point of order. There is no point of order there. view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in demonstrating that we remain the “Upper House”, and for the benefit of Senators--- view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just like what I did to Sen. Cherarkey, and luckily they are sitting together, I have also taken the liberty of forwarding the High Court Judgement in Petition 202 of 2023 to Sen. Orwoba. She can read and digest it. I also undertake to the House that as a responsible leader from the Omogusii nation, I will sit next to her and explain to her slowly the import of the High Court decision, so that when she speaks next time, she does so from a point of information. view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am lucky this afternoon to be dealing with learned friends and lawyers. For the benefit of Sen. Veronica Maina whom I am sure has not taken time to read and digest this judgement, I want to see if I have her number, so that I can also send that judgment to her. I will also take time to read the judgment for her and also tell her that in this pronouncement, the court has said that none of the coalitions’ agreements were forwarded before the court; just in case she did not understand the law ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: He has asked me whether he can inform me. view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, the point I have raised this afternoon is very important that before we even proceed, you should make a communication that clarifies some of these issues. This is because, as a House that prides itself as being the upper House, we should be seen to be the ones leading as the National Assembly follows. I wish that the next time Sen. Maina speaks, she understands our Standing Orders; that if you make an allegation saying that something was signed and witnessed, you should table it. There is a difference between signing a coalition agreement ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: She cannot speak twice on a point of order. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
