• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Report of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights on the approval of hon. Rachael Ameso Amollo for appointment as a non-member of Parliament Commissioner to the Parliamentary Service Commission. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you better mention the name because we are now confused and do not know who the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights is. We are seeking guidance. We are in very unprecedented times in this country, including in this House. When you mention that you want me to speak, just say: Sen. Linturi, because I do not know whether I am the Vice Chairperson, Chairperson or whoever I am. My boss, Sen. Cherargei, is here and, as far as I am concerned, he has not duly directed or assigned any duties to ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights on the approval of Hon. Rachael Ameso for appointment as a non-Member of Parliament Commissioner to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 16th June, 2020, pursuant to Standing Order No.71, Article 127 (2) (d) of the Constitution and Section 9 (2) of the Parliamentary Service Act, approves the appointment of Hon. Rachael Ameso as a member of the PSC. Thank you. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we approach the future, we need to be serious as a House, because this House is a House of record. It is disorderly conduct when a Member takes a certain position and runs away from the same position that has been taken without any reasonable cause. The Constitution requires us not to participate in matters that we may have interest in. The seconder of this Motion, in my view, would have been pricked by his conscience to understand that since he is a Member of this Committee, the best thing he would have done was to ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. Malalah to second this Motion when he has interest as a Member of that Committee? Secondly, the position that he is advancing today is a position that he opposed last time because we thought that the Committee was not necessary that time because it did not serve his interest. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I open by saying that I have heard and understood your Communication in terms of the directions you gave us in addressing this matter. I am cognizant of the fact that this Motion is not intended to look on the merits or demerits of the Motion, otherwise, we will be very speculative. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must only confine ourselves either to the merits or demerits of having a Committee or going to Plenary. May I remind every Member that this Senate took oath to defend and protect the Constitution of this country. This being the case, we are here courtesy of the people who gave us this high office to exercise their authority on their behalf, and in the event that we fail to exercise that authority diligently, the public or people have a right to go to the streets and exercise their own authority when we fail them. That is ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 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
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the people of Kirinyaga County speak. They have spoken through their representatives. I invite every Senator here to look at the Second Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya, which has clearly put the oath that we take. May I remind them that the oath that we take when we are sworn in is to bear true allegiance to the people and the Republic. The Oath of Assumption of Office of Governor is different from ours because they are supposed to truly serve the people. When we look at the Speaker, the President and his ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: With that, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose this Motion of creation of a Committee and urge the House to adopt a Plenary. Thank you. view
