• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Every Government entity now is taking austerity measures. When I was in court the other day and appeared before a magistrate, they said that they had run short of paper. It is as bad as that, yet we are saying that we should paralyze Government and teach it a lesson. view
• 5 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
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: At the end of the day, some people make more money when the country is in a lot of problems. When there is a war, there are war mongers. When the economy is not doing well, the black economy and the underworld do much better. Let us do things in a regular way. However, I plead with the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta not to make decisions without giving the leadership some public participation. Even if we are not recognised, as Senators, we should be recognised as part of the public, so that people get to understand why we have ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you gave very good advice that when we come to this Chamber, there are other laws that operate. Out there, we may call each other names but when we are here, we treat each other with absolute respect. That is why I think he is still not following the man who introduced him to this House. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Those are still very good lessons to learn. Without a doubt, if I can just digress, I have a lot of respect for Sen. Cheruiyot. I think any time he stands, he prepares well. I listened to him in the morning; I think he was saying that tongue-in-cheek. I will never say, tuko pamoja. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me say from the outset that when this matter came up before the Senate, I gave my views on the issue of the court order. When there is a court order - because of the functionality of State institutions and the need for harmony between State organs - there should be room to show respectability between institutions of Government. That is quite different from whether or not, there should be an impeachment process. I still believe that since judicial authority rests with the courts, just like legislative authority rests with Parliament; therefore, whenever courts ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: come to us. I agree with the advisory that was given by the Supreme Court in the first case of Governor Wambora, that processes within the Senate or Parliament should be completed before the Judiciary can exercise jurisdiction on any particular matter. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: The Senate has rendered itself very well. It has proven again because this has been said again and again; that when a matter is before the Senate, it will be decided in accordance with the evidence and what the law is. The Committee needs to be congratulated for doing so. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: I hope that this will also go out to the county assemblies; that when they want to impeach a governor, they should do a little homework. They should not rush to judgement, but bring a concrete and well researched case to the Senate. This is so that the case can be dealt with in accordance with the evidence, law and merits of the case. I think this is a lesson to the county assemblies. view
