• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: constituencies and wards. What he was telling the country in the morning relates to amendments of Article 89 and 97. Kenyans have a right to propose amendments to those Articles and increase constituencies from 290 to 360. However, the function of delimitation under this Constitution is with a constitutional body called IEBC. That is in black and white. We must respect what the Constitution of Kenya says in Article 88. view

• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, on behalf of the Members of my Committee, I would like to apologise for bringing such a voluminous report that has caused havoc to the House this morning. However, this is because of the importance of the task that was at hand. I also apologise that we have not given Members enough time to go through the Report and internalize the issues arising. However, since I was the Co-Chair of the Committee and spent considerable time going through the contents of the Report, together with the annextures, I am willing to volunteer, if you order that ... view

• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank Members of my Committee, who worked with me in preparing the Report that was tabled before the House this morning. It is never easy to obtain quorum of eight Members, that is, the full composition of my Committee, to sit and consider a matter before it. However, on this particular one, I want to report that I was able to mobilize and have in attendance all my Members. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: I also want to salute the democratic right that was exercised by the Senator for Murang’a, Sen. Kang’ata, who abstained from appending his signature to the Report. This is also the Senator for Nairobi, Sen. Sakaja, who has prepared a Minority Report, but only on one Article that deals with the issue of constituencies. I also want to register my appreciation to the members of staff who worked with us tirelessly, at times until very late into the night, in preparation of the Report that is before the House. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to make it very clear from the onset that the reports you have seen in the media to the effect that there were disagreements within the Members of the two Committees, that is, the National Assembly Committee and the Senate Committee, are untrue. If you read Parts VI and VII, all the Members who attended the deliberations of the Committee appended their signatures, including my Co-Chair, hon. Clement Muturi Kigano. Therefore, this is a Report that was unanimously prepared and arrived at by the Members of those two Committees. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, at the conclusion of our deliberations, before I make the observations that were made by the Committee, we had a long deliberation on the import of Article 257 of the Constitution vis-à-vis the legislative powers of Members of Parliament, that is, the National Assembly and the Senate. We were also privileged to be guided by two consultants; very renown lawyers in this country. One of them was a candidate for the position of Chief Justice, that is, Prof. Mbote. She did not make it, but was one of the shortlisted candidates. She was one of our consultants. ... view
