• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am rising under Standing Order No.106 on limitation of debate. This matter is very important to most of us. We have been on this issue of MES equipment for a very long time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order No.106, Senators are supposed to speak for a period of not less than 20 minutes on Motions or Reports of Committees. The Standing Order is very clear that any limitation of time to speak can only be done under Standing Order No.3, if it is done before debate has commenced. On the matter that is before us, ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these Standing Orders are the force of the Constitution. This is a House of debate, and we require adequate time to ventilate and debate on critical issues like the matter that is before the House. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I first congratulate Sen. Dullo and the other Committee Members that have looked into this MES mess that has been with us for a very long time and for coming up with a 253-page Report. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: It is almost impossible to do justice to such a report by making comments on it for six minutes.

• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Going through it with a very candid and fearless eye, I have no hesitation in concluding that this project was unwise, unjust and almost bordering on throwing away all the values that we put in place when we enacted our 2010 Constitution. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: If you read through it, you must single out one human being of the 47 men and women who are governors in this Republic. It is only one man who stood alone and strong enough and refused to sign this Memorandum of Understanding between the Government and the county governments. That one man is the former Governor of Bomet County, hon. Isaac Rutto. As they say, the strongest man is he who stood alone. As we indict all the other 46 governors, it is hon. Ruto, who stands out. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: What really pricks our conscience as leaders is the fact that, reading the Report, you will notice that the Government behaved like a thug. I have read that in some counties, including Kakamega County, the Government dumped the medical equipment forcefully at the offices of the County Government of Kakamega. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: I cannot understand how a Government can act so thuggish to the level of carrying equipment and delivering them in the hours of darkness. We know that under Article 6 of the Constitution, we have two levels of government that should cooperate with each other. view
