• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issues of concern that I had were dispensed by you through Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s intervention. There was no clarity as to whether there could be amendments to the Bill or not because Sen. Orengo on that particular day said that we could amend whereas Sen. Wako said that we could not amend anything. However, you have ruled on the matter. It is not true to say what Sen. Sijeny is saying that you can cure anything that is before Parliament through an informal process as the way forward. It is either you come here and ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I would like to tell them that we have an extraordinary Senator the Murang’a people have brought to this House. So, take that information back home. Tell them that we have a very good Senator; firm but very reasonable when called to be. He has added a lot of flavour to this Senate. Secondly, I would like to tell you something as young women because as male leaders, we must speak to it. You must fight cultural stereotypes even at the very core of how you are brought up. The electronic version of ... view

• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my Bill; The Preservation of Human Dignity had already gone through the Committee of the Whole and was now at the Division and Third Reading. In fact, all the time it appeared for Division up to this point. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I am part of those six Members from CORD who decided to register a minority report. For the purposes of the records of this country, we decided to append this attachment. With your direction, we decided to have public hearings which were not simply political aesthetics or relations for this Senate but they should have found that input into the very substance of this Bill. The overwhelming majority of the petitioners; The Council of Governors, Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry and everybody else across the board who gave opinions to this Act were ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was a bit obligated to speak on account of the remarks by Sen. Billow to come and justify a travesty of law telling us that Sen. Obure has shifted from the CORD Coalition to the Jubilee Coalition hence the consequence of his letter. So, I ask Sen. Billow to go and tell Sen. Obure to resign as a member of the CORD Coalition and face an election. We cannot allow this type of behavior on a very contentious matter that we have had here. We cannot allow people to go and forge letters as a matter ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, one of the greatest frustrations of this kinds of rushed types of Bills - I have lately been trying to read HANSARDS of former parliaments, if you mind me saying this - the debates and the research is so interesting. Lately, it is saddening that for instance, Sen. Sang will propose shortening of time in the morning, then come again, he talks for 15 minutes and then comes again proposes the shortening of time at this point. In future, we should understand that people need to speak to these types of Bills and therefore, you should bring ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. One of the reasons that we objected to this section is largely because of inputs we got from very many authorities who understand operationalization of law. These include the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), which you are a member to and the Committee of the Council of Governors (CoG) which is ably led by Governor Kivutha Kibwana. Allow me to quote some of the things they said. They said that the provision of the complementary mechanism to the proposed Section 44(a) created ambiguity in its interpretation of the definition. It was very ... view
