• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, let me wish everybody a happy new year and hope that for the rest of the tenure of this Senate, we will deliver in accordance to our mandate and the Constitution. I thank the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County. He should have noticed that all there is today for purposes of this Bill is to have it read for the first time. There is nothing on the Order Paper that shows that the Second Reading will come in the proceedings of this special sitting. For the information of the Senator, I think the Senate Business Committee (SBC) ... view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must not let this debate drag into other issues. Sen. Wamatangi is bringing a point, which may attract debate. If he has done business in Siaya County and he has not been paid, and he is seeking help from me, he should come to my office and we---I know you and money. view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: I know that the central issue may not be life; it might be money and that we can settle in my office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let not this debate derail into other things since it is a special sitting. Probably since we are working on the basis that there are doubts whether or not we are going to comply with the Constitution and the Standing Orders, maybe you should make it clear at this stage that the Bill stands committed to the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Senators can continue to comment, but if it comes from ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: I thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me join my colleagues in welcoming back Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura. Between me and him, we go a long way back, and I know he is an effective legislator. We are proud to see him back in the House. I also congratulate the Speaker of the Senate because, sometimes, when people look at court orders, they support the court when the order is in favour of a particular individual. However, when it is against you, you accuse the court. I think sometimes it is the question of double-standards. Our Speaker has consistently ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: It is even more significant to the lawmakers. Therefore, when the court is applying the law that we have enacted and stated the reason why they have complied or given an order in pursuant of any statute or legislation, Parliament should be the last to complain. In any case, if we do not like the law, we always have the opportunity to change it. But until it is changed, our primary responsibility is to obey it as propounded by the courts. Mr. Speaker,Sir, I do not know what Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura has missed in terms of his rights. What is ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Being a very tall man, he was able to run away so far that the law could not reach him. He came back when circumstances--- On these great debates about politics, this party or that, as parliamentarians and Legislators, there must be a common standard and universal principles. They are principles that make sense. If the principles are applied in Uganda or Ethiopia, people will celebrate. There are some principles that have universal application. Therefore, we celebrate Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura coming back to the House. This is a true human spirit of being honored, respected and given your inherent dignity. ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Whichever is your party, at the end, we have got only one country called Kenya. We will go nowhere if we destroyed this country because of political objectives or interests. There should be a common denominator that when there is a wrong, Sen. Poghisio will stand up to defend you. When there is something wrong happening to our 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
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Speaker, we will stand up and say “that is not right”. That is the only way we can make Kenya great and leave a lasting legacy to the great people of this country. Thank you Mr. Speaker Sir. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion and associate myself with the remarks made by the Senate Majority Leader. I would want to put the performance of Jubilee Government in context. If we do not go through part of the material presented to us yesterday in the Presidential speech, one can easily be driven away by propaganda and other political statements, that tend to denigrate what has been achieve in the last eight years. The National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government that was elected in 2002 was important in laying the foundations of what we are seeing ... view
