• 30 Dec 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I begin by thanking the Chairperson of the select Committee, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. He deserves honorary recognition as a lawyer by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), for the splendid work he did while guiding the Committee. Congratulations, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and your nine Members for the good job. As a House, we fully support the contents of your report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, speaking to the MCAs of the great County of Meru, men have various talents. When women pick their husbands, they look at various talents. Ms. Mary, the beautiful wife of the Senator ... view
• 30 Dec 2022 in Senate: I urge the men and women who have been lucky to be elected as MCAs of the great County of Meru to embrace the talent of the First Gentleman and allow this beautiful woman – who has broken the glass ceiling by being among the few who have managed to convince voters to elect them as governors – to be given an opportunity to serve the people of Meru County. You came to this Senate looking for justice. We have given it to you. Go to Meru County and serve the people there. view

• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of the Statement that has been brought to the Floor by Senator for Kilifi, Sen. Madzayo. Of late, our auctioneers have been roguish. The way eviction orders are being carried out by auctioneers is inhumane and there is no regard for property owned by Kenyans who are in the low cadre of income. This is extremely unfair. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: When I used to serve as the Chairperson of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), we came up with a board called Auctioneers Licensing Board. I used to pick two representatives to sit in that board. One of the mandates is to deal with auctioneers who behave in a roguish manner like the one I have heard from Sen. Madzayo. We must have deterrence. If we do not take any action against some of these auctioneers, they will repeat the same violations. I hope when this matter is considered by this House, that the Auctioneers Licensing Board will consider making ... view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Secondly, when we enacted the Constitution in 2010, we created a Special Land and Environment Court. The thinking on the chapter on Judiciary was that issues like evictions should be dealt with by judges of the High Court and not magistrates court. Though I hear that this particular order - if I heard Sen. Madzayo clearly - was issued by a magistrate’s court. We need to rethink whether there is wisdom in giving magistrates’ courts such expansive powers, including giving the power to give eviction orders. Land is a sensitive matter. When you are evicting 200 families, imagine how many ... view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope that the Committee that will look into this can also have a hearing from the Registrar of the High Court. This is so that we relook at the existing jurisdictions of Magistrate Courts to issue evictions so that this kind of acts should not recur. I am very sympathetic and say pole to the families of Kilifi. I thank their Senator, Sen. Madzayo for being proactive and bringing this matter to the Floor of the Senate. No wonder Sen. Madzayo is now doing his third term. It is because of the concern he has for ... view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 9 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Motion that recommends the approval of this Senate of Eng. Koome as our next Inspector General (IG) of the National Police Service. view
• 9 Nov 2022 in Senate: Those who went to the University of Nairobi (UoN) in the early 1990s know that Eng. Koome was among the very first professionals to join the Police force directly from the University. He joined Central Police Station in the 1990s. He was extremely friendly and professional to the students of UoN. view
