• 26 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I come to join the countless number of Senators who have spoken in support of this Bill. I have also come to join hands with my brother, Sen. Sang, from Nandi County, who I think has generated extra-ordinary public debate with respect to institutionalization and giving the framework for devolution at its very outset; and bringing in a very broad platform for leaders. This is something that I think the Constitution, in its own spirit, has envisaged and, therefore, this type of a Bill, by and large, goes a long way to ... view

• 26 Nov 2013 in Senate: Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki and others have spoken to this; top notch constitutional lawyers and practitioners in this country. Who else can stand in the opinion of this force of intellectualism? Therefore, I do not believe that this Senate has violated any provisions of the Constitution; if anything, this Senate has strengthened the provisions of the Constitution by giving life through a legislative process to those areas that might have been silent, and which need promulgation of these kinds of laws. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think this Senate has discharged some of its most critical obligations towards helping devolution in ... view

I want to tell you that since you started discharging your responsibility as the Speaker of the Senate, you have never let this House down, neither have you ever let this country down. That demonstrates your conscious ability to discharge your responsibilities not only under the Constitution but to ensure that we are able to transform this country into a truly bicameral system of Parliament. I think you have exercised extra ordinary restraint and patience and I think that has been ... view

Keter; that this provision of security to Members of Parliament and other elected leaders is not under the discretion of any person or authority. I think that the allocation is as a result of the attendant risks that we face on a daily basis in the discharge of our mandate. Therefore, for any person to jeopardize the security of any Member of this House or any other public official, whose provision for that security is made, I think we need to take ... view
