• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Any time we summon them to appear before us, they should appear. The issue is discipline of CSs and not inadequacy of the provisions in the Constitution to enable us summon the CSs. view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir! view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have known the Senator for Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, as a fairly experienced Senator. However, I am surprised that the Senator does not seem to understand that even a Senate Sitting can sit as a Committee of the Whole House. This is a basic principle that is in our Constitution. There is nothing out of order on Article 153 of the Constitution which I have read to this House. This Article is broad, liberal and gives leeway to this House to summon a Cabinet Secretary (CS) to appear before the House and answer any ... view
• 5 Oct 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
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: If Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale interpreted this Article and read it in Kiswahili language, he will understand that those powers are there. The problem has been the failure by the CSs in responding to summons whenever issued by the Senate. The Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, will tell you that in the last Senate, we issued several invitations or summons to CSs, but they never appeared before the Floor of this House. This is why I was informing the Senator for Kericho that what he should be telling--- view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Please, Senator, I am informing the Member. In good faith and intentions, I want Sen. Cheruiyot to whisper to His Excellency the President to preach good manners to his CSs to respond and appear when we summon them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Article 125 of the Constitution is clear. We sit as a High Court and have power to summon. That is adequate and we do not need to be lectured that we need to amend our Standing Orders. The Constitution is adequate. I hope the 22 men and women who are coming in as CSs will respect the Senate ... view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is one point I would like to make. The Member is breaching our Standing Orders by imputing wrong motive, that as a Senior Counsel I have misread Article 153 of the Constitution. I have not added a comma nor a full stop to the provisions of Article 153(3). I have read it the way it is. Therefore, the Member is out of order for imputing wrong motive on my person. He should apologise. view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to the speech that His Excellency the President made to Parliament. First, we appreciate the fact that this was a closely contested election. As Azimio, we had more than seven million Kenyans behind us. We also appreciate abide by the Constitution and we said we do not agree with the decision of the Supreme Court, but we view
• 5 Oct 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
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: respect it. Now, what we need to do is to really put the President on toes, so that he can deliver on the promises that he made to the people of Kenya. Yesterday, I heard an assertion from the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, Senator for Kericho County, that this Senate will have a very close working relationship and goodwill from President William Ruto. I hope that the President will invoke the provisions of our Standing Orders that give him a leeway to come and address the Senate – not Parliament – as a House. I hope that during his ... view
