• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: However, we will certainly need to move forward and have a more comprehensive Bill and other similar amendments through miscellaneous or other ways so that we can fully integrate and include them. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: I commend the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) and the Intersex Persons Society of Kenya (IPSK), an organisation of which I am the vision bearer and patron. I hope that Kenya will definitely teach the rest of the world on how to be inclusive. I thank all the stakeholders; the advocates and lawyers from the Cradle Children’s Foundation who went to court to make sure that such cases were properly prosecuted. I thank the Attorney-General’s office for the way they have given us the support. I thank the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and all the people ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: I beg to move. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, gauging the mood of the House, I ask that we defer. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are the presiding officer. I stand guided by your ruling that if you look around, we may want to look at the numbers. view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Statement. I thought that the new Constitution would give us new safeguards but I have seen a pattern where Parliament and the Judiciary are being bullied and the constitutional commissions have become toothless. Things are looking terrible. How did we find ourselves here? We found ourselves here because the Executive has mismanaged the budget. They went on a borrowing spree. We have now given them another opportunity to continue borrowing. I wish people could go back to the Hansard records. I kept on opposing those borrowings. As a student of ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: I am coming to that, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Judiciary is complaining about lack of resources and maltreatment because the Executive has mismanaged the economy, and that is the truth. We should not mince our words. We should say things as they are for posterity. After we are long gone and forgotten, nobody will remember how we came to this Parliament. People will remember what we stood for. In fact, I am being riled on social media right now. People are asking for my voice on the public debt issue. Chief Justice Maraga said that he does not have Wi-Fi ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 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
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, such a backlog means that we are denying Kenyans justice, and it means that the country cannot proceed. We have a very robust Constitution, and it speaks to the separation of powers so that the Judiciary can transact its business. There are times when this Parliament has disagreed with the Judiciary because of the manner in which they sometimes give us orders that try to stop us, or muzzle us from conducting our business. When there is such kind of disagreement, there should be a modicum of civility in resolving it. If the Executive, for example, has ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: However when we hear from the grapevine that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) has said that the Chief Justice (CJ) will be removed from office before the end of the year, it is still the same conversations that the former CJ, Willy Mutunga, was also canvassing about. He said that he realized that he was actually riding a system full of cartels, and there was nothing much he could do. We need to ensure that even when we give power to the Judiciary, they should follow through in order to confer justice to Kenyans. However, we are in a situation where ... view
