• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand here pursuant to Standing Order 1, on traditions--- view
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is exactly the point. When I listened to Sen. Pareno, who has talked a lot--- view
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Is she is order to insinuate that only those people who have livestock have a stake at the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) because of the number of cows that they have? Is she in order to associate the BBI to livestock? view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I ask that you give me three minutes in the spirit of fairness because everybody has spoken for at least three minutes, so that you are not accused of giving disabled people two minutes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to eulogize the late President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi who served Parliament for 47 years. That is quite a long time. I think that is something that everybody would desire here in Parliament because the recent practice is that people are only in Parliament for only one or two terms and that is it. In fact, ... view
• 10 Feb 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
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: For me, I did not know President Moi in person. I only went to sing for him in Thika, when he used to come. I remember him coming to Thika with President Museveni, but most importantly with Isaias Afwerki when he became the first President of Eritrea. President Afwerki must have had President Moi as a mentor because he was very keen. I also remember President Moi trying to industrialize the country with the Nyayo car, Nyayo bus and the numerical machining complex. He really tried. However, President Moi also had another side to him, he was not really a ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to say that this process has shown us that we need proper legal mechanism for impeachment. We need to put in place measures such that if a governor is impeached on the basis of incapacity, that procedure should be properly provided for. I think there are many lacunas in law to the extent that it is not a requirement, for example, that we should look at the threshold. I think that is where people are getting confused on whether to look at the threshold or the quorum of who voted to impeach ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, we are here as a quasi-judicial process, which also means that we are quasi-political . Therefore, we need to make sure that we cover this well, so that we are seen to be as impartial as possible because this is also a political process. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Having noted that concern, when you look at the way the lawyers presented themselves, I think they came to stop this impeachment under the preliminary objection (PO). That is why they disadvantaged Gov. Ferdinand Waititu because when we voted in the morning, that is what Gov. Waititu alluded to. For us to have 27 against 11 votes not to admit new evidence, then there was no case because he spent many hours fumbling about four points of law; which are whether there was quorum to meet the threshold, whether we were properly constituted as the Senate and other issues to ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform this Senate that this matter is germane. Some of the roads in question were constructed but there are already potholes only two years after. The people of Kiambu want justice because there is a quagmire in the leadership of Kiambu County. This Senate is called upon to make a determination not to save an individual but to ensure that service delivery is guaranteed to the people of Kiambu. This is because their governor is out of office and their deputy governor does not have full powers. This is about the people. view
