• 10 Feb 2021 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
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: public funds. The reasoning was that we wanted them to run away from the old system where the Kenya African National Union (KANU) or political parties belonged to individuals. So, it is funded from public coffers so that they can be owned by all citizens. You would expect leaders of political parties to be more civilized than they are today. However, they have taken that advantage of the trust we had in them to completely make these political parties tools of dictatorship. This is why we are suffering. If we do not rise as a Parliament, raise these issues and ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I address myself to the substance of this Motion, allow me to remind this House in view of what Sen. Orengo has just said on the Floor in regards to the work that was done by the Senior Counsels. There are two magical words that are often said and many people may not understand their impact. The first one is “I am sorry” and the second one is “thank you.” I am saying this because Sen. Orengo has said that the Senate has not spent a single coin in the defence of this matter, ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: With regard to the Committee, I have certain reservations because of certain political persuasions on this list. Allow me to ask them, because we are supposed to work for the greater good of the public and the people of this country, that kindly as you engage and prioritize Bills, please, remember that we serve the public. The public or voters are our priority. Kindly prioritize those Bills that have to do with the strengthening of our coffee, sugarcane, fish, animal husbandry or whatever it is that has so much to do with the common mwananchi. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Let us have them brought here in the fastest time possible, so that we can deal with them. This is because Kenyans are suffering. We want those Bills that have to do with finances to be prioritized because the country is bleeding and people are poor. Those Bills that are likely to spar economic growth or stimulate the economy in ensuring that people whose money is pending in the counties and the national Government for failure and inability of an insensitive system to pay people money in good time are brought before this House for debate and passage. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the list. However, be cognizant of the fact that we are ready to work overnight to ensure these Bills are passed so that we comply with the recommendations or the advice of the High Court in ensuring that these Bills are aligned to the Constitution. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Briefly let me add to what senior counsel Sen. Orengo has just alluded to. We cannot run away from looking at the effect of that decision that has been made. The reason is because the decision has the effect of trying or infringing on or violating the rights of the Governor to defend himself in such a serious matter. When we do not admit his witnesses and when it has been proved that there are such affidavits that were filed on time and then denying that opportunity, I think in terms of even how things ... view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will be brief. The clarification I seek is from the County Assembly. The requirements for removal of a governor are clearly stipulated in the Constitution, the law and the Standing Orders. I want to understand, because I have looked at the submissions and the signatures in the list accompanying the Motion, I did not find one important document, which I need to know whether it is by way of omission or in another document I have not traced or where it could be. This relates to the logs and documents from the County Assembly ... view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Governor Sonko. This is what I am seeking. I will be glad to get the list of the Members of the Assembly who voted in support of this Motion. view
