• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in thanking you and congratulating you for the very well thought out communication that you have made to this House and the nation at large. This goes a long way in correcting the falsehood that has been created out there that the Senators want to usurp the powers of the Governors and be in charge of funds. Nothing could be far from the truth. On the contrary, we do not want to be in charge of any funds. We know our constitutional role is legislation and oversight and we will stick ... view

I have heard all my colleagues who have spoken in support of the amendment and have a different proposal that I want to put forward. I am conversant with the two buttons and I pressed both. I want to contribute and make an intervention at the same time. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, let me, first of all, begin by thanking the Chairman of the Committee for bringing this amendment. I think that he did it in very good spirit, and I am sure that he means very well. I want to plead with my colleagues and refer them to Article 187 (2) (a) and (b) of the Constitution.

• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to support the amendment on the amendment that was moved by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I think he cited Article 216 of the Constitution. Indeed, the amendment brought by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., as it was, contravened the provisions of Article 216. I just want to bring it to the attention of Members who may not know, that even if we went ahead and passed that particular amendment as it was brought, somebody could have challenged this. This is under Article 2(4), the supremacy of this Constitution which states:- “Any law, including customary law, that is ... view
