• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise on the Statement that has been requested by my good friend, Sen. Pareno. However, I think the case we have at hand is a very clear indication of an institution, by the name, Teachers Service Commission (TSC), which has gone berserk. This is the expression of an institution that wants to become the Lord of impunity. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 47 of the Constitution states that: ―Every person has the right to administrative action that is expeditious, efficient, lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair.‖ What I have heard from the nominated Senator is that the TSC has proceeded to interdict teachers even before the period provided to respond to the ―show cause‖ letters had elapsed. This is an indication of an institution that does not even want to respect our own Constitution. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 May 2019 in Senate: I urge this House to invoke the provisions of Article 251 of the Constitution. If we have people who occupy State offices, who do not want to respect the Constitution, then we should invoke Article 251 and push for their removal from office. The Article provides that- ―A member of a Commission ( other than an ex officio member ), or the holder of an independent office, may be removed from office only for— (a) serious violation of this Constitution or any other law, including a contravention of Chapter Six; (b) gross misconduct, whether in the performance of the member‘s ... view

• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I did not invite Sen. Sakaja to make lamentations about his party, Jubilee. He heard what his Senate Majority Leader said the other day. In conclusion, I think this a serious matter. Since the Chairman of the Committee on Education, Information and Communication Technology is in the House, we need to evaluate and relook at the conduct of the head of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), especially how he is treating teachers. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: This morning, I saw some reports on social media that 157 teachers from Kitui had obtained a court order reinstating them back to office. This is a waste of public funds. If we allow TSC to disregard the law and the Constitution, people will go to court, they get orders and they are taken back to office. Who will meet all these legal costs?

• 16 May 2019 in Senate: abuse of office. We should call a spade a spade. It is time that serious action is taken against the head of TSC. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion that has been placed before the House by the Mediation Committee. I first congratulate the Chairperson of the Mediation Committee, Sen. Peter Njeru Ndwiga and the Members who sat in the Committee, Sen. (Rev.) Waqo, Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko, Sen. (Dr.) Langat and Sen. (Dr.) Zani for a job well done. Madam Temporary Speaker, if our beloved President watches the business transacted in the Senate, then he should know that this is the decent way of doing business. The idea of sneaking Bills that touch on devolution through the National Assembly ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, secondly, I wish that the Senate Majority Leader was here to listen to what I am saying. He has thrown blame on the side of ODM Party. However, we have a body called Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) which determines the sharing of revenue between the national and county government. The IBEC which brings together all governors and the national Government is chaired by none other than the Deputy President of this country, Hon. William Ruto. This crisis we have today is because he was not able to provide leadership at the IBEC level. If The ... view
