• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking the Sponsor of this Bill, Sen. Osotsi, for bringing what I perceive – I beg to differ with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale – to be an important amendment to the Powers and Privileges Act. Madam Temporary Speaker, every organisation does audit of its activities annually and looks at its strengths, weaknesses, the opportunities it has, and the threats it faces in executing its mandate. Madam Temporary Speaker, these proposed amendments to the Power and Privileges Bill is a response to the weaknesses and the threats we face as a House in ... view

• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: wilfully refused to appear before us will emerge as a weakness. We must do something to respond and to fill that gap. Madam Temporary Speaker, if it can be of comfort to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, we had a debate like this when I served as the Chairperson of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). We had powers to conduct investigations, but we did not have powers to arrest. We debated for a long time looking for a solution. Finally, we made a conclusion that the best thing that will enhance the powers of EACC to summon a witness is to ... view

• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: In fact, for the fine, if you convert the amount charged using the Kenyan exchange which is the shilling to the dollar, the fine for the US Senate is 100,000 US Dollars. That is equivalent to Kshs15 million and what we are proposing here is Kshs2 million. Therefore, if you do not comply, the Senate has even what they call criminal contempt powers of Congress. If you do not respond, they can convict you and sentence you to a maximum of 12 months; not less than four not more than 12. If you remember in 1982, there was a lady ... view

• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to appear before NADCO. Four responded and appeared. However, the former chairman and the two commissioners wrote a contemptuous letter in response to the summons and said, they will not appear. We were helpless, looking at the important task that was before that Committee, appointed with the approval of the President and with the leader of official opposition. If we have these amendments in place, nobody will ever take this House for granted. Not just this House, even the National Assembly. Nobody will ever take us for granted. If it is of any comfort, these powers that ... view

He is one of the greatest ... view
• 13 Feb 2024 in Senate: Somebody is saying the greatest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, at 24 years, that young man was able to break the world marathon record. We join the people of Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenyans at large and the people from the sporting fraternity in passing our heartfelt condolences to the widow, the two young children, Mzee Cheruiyot and the mother.
