• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Hon. Senators, may recall the TJRC Act 2008 was amended by the National Assembly in December 2013 among others deleting Paragraph 49 (3) thereon which provided that implementation of the TJRC Report would commence within six months upon publication. The provision as amended provides that the implementation of the TJRC Report shall only commence after consideration of the Report by the National Assembly. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although it is exactly seven years since the TJRC Report was submitted to the National Assembly on July 2013, it is yet to be formally scheduled for consideration and debate by the National Assembly, which will unlock the implementation of its recommendations by the various agencies and organs of the national and county government. The Committee noted that during the State of the Nation Address delivered to Parliament on Thursday, 26th of March, 2015, His Excellency the President inter alia- (1) Urged lawmakers to expedite the process of the TJRC Report seen as critical in formulation of ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided, but the practice has been that on a matter of national importance like this, I highlight the key recommendations to enable the House to note. However, if I am directed so, I will lay it before the House and rest the matter. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to confess that acting for the Senate - this is one of the most difficulty clients I have ever dealt with. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: This is because they give you instructions to act for them, but you will never get them to get further instructions. However, I want the country to know that I am doing this for the Senate pro bono, without being paid any fees. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will confirm to the House that I wanted us to move together. I had requested the Speaker to call for a Kamkunji yesterday, so that I report back to the House the progress that we had made in trying to have this matter settled out of court. As Sen. Orengo has said, we ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we require more time to make that Report in the next Sitting. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to go on record as vehemently opposing the proposed amendment by Sen. Kang’ata. I want to be very candid and confirm that I had a discussion with Sen. Kang’ata on the proposed amendment that is before the Floor. It is said that sometimes a good idea gives room to an even better idea. After I had a discussion with Sen. Kang’ata, I have received a better idea which is on the Order Paper today and is being moved by super Senator Sakaja. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, I am opposed to this amendment because we are merely postponing a problem. If we go by the amendment being proposed by Sen. Kang’ata, it means that my people of Nyamira are only going to postpone this problem for two years, but it will come back to haunt us. There is no way I will watch somebody who represents our Head of State, who we are proud of, and who is behind the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), but comes to this Floor and threatens the same BBI by the President. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we love ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: I, therefore, oppose this Motion that is supposed to mislead the people of Nyamira that they may smile for two years, but start mourning after three years. If you want to kill us in Nyamira, kill us today, not tomorrow! view
