• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important issue, and I know that we are already seized of the matter. However, what you have read out, to the effect that the statutory instrument must be tabled within seven days after publication, from what I can remember from the documents we had here yesterday, I do not know whether there has been compliance with that requirement. In your Statement, you have emphasized that it should be tabled in Parliament, which means both Houses. In case there was a delay in tabling that statutory instrument as required by the law, I ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: What is it, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.? Is it the same matter? view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I probably would have been better listening, but I have asked you to give me a lot of time. I could see the mood of the House. I wish Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. to give the Deputy Speaker a little bit of time. The communication you have made today is very pertinent. Looking at the Constitution and the Standing Orders with regard to the removal of a president or a governor, either with regard to incapacity or by way of impeachment, they are time- bound. That is very important to declare at the outset; they must ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: made; whereas on gazettement, it would have been taken as a done deal. However, because he could go to court and get conservatory orders, that process could be stopped. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I am appealing is that whereas everything that you have said is correct, this Constitution wants the organs of Government to work in harmony, otherwise, then we would be inviting anarchy. I wish to pose the question that if we decided to go on and the governor has got, for example, an order in his hands, can we summon him? My answer is that we cannot ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: What they forget is that the issues that were raised by the governor before the county assembly, the Committee and the Senate now siting as a court are bound by the Constitution. In fact, Article 10 binds all persons and all state institutions in this exercise. Those same complaints could be made before the Senate sitting as a court. He could say that he was not served or properly heard by the county assembly. All those arguments can be made. However, now we face a situation or circumstance where the proceedings we are undertaking would not have legal efficacy. Mr. ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just wondering how Sen. Murkomen heard me. I did not stand up; I have not been given a chance to speak. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is collecting gossip and rumours, and that is not part of the official record. No doubt, that is the reason the treatment of our national hero is becoming a village affair because of how he collects what I have said, which is not part of the record. However, more importantly, he has not explained the point that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. was making; that when there is a national hero, there should be a national reception here or in Berlin. Yesterday, we were told that even the Ambassador was not there. Even the Senate Majority ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I am saying this because there was no national organisation to receive such a hero. When Brazil wins, it is the whole country. If Eliud Kipchoge wins in Berlin or Vienna, the country should be there. I did not hear the Deputy President say that he was there on behalf of the Republic of Kenya. He made it look like an individual affair. view
