• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: He is my very good friend but, sometimes, he is overtaken by events including voting against the Ruaraka Land Report. He will never find a day to justify why he voted that way. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the distinguished Senator has been talking to his people about their medical problems. Sometimes I go to the village and an old man would come to me and say: “There is something that starts from my leg na inakimbia mpaka kwa kichwa, halafuinatokea huko chini.” view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: With that type of a problem, even if we asked Sen. Malalah to try and explain, it would be extremely difficult. However, if we have a local doctor, probably, he will have a sense 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
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: of experience and know that when Malaria comes, for example, the pain comes in a certain way. Give Sen. Malalah some little accommodation. The point he is trying to make is that we need local doctors also in this arrangement. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, normally the tradition of the House and the Standing Orders is that you cannot discuss judges without a substantive Motion. However, I want to make a distinction because I think the distinguished Senator for Nandi has a point. In my political history, I have never seen a chief justice appearing in a public rally and that we must say. It is bad manners for the judiciary. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: The Chief Justice must be told this. We have known chief justices who used to be directed by the Executive and were more executive than the Executive but they had the sense of decency and decorum of never appearing in political rallies. In fact, that has been the tradition of the House. The substantive Speaker is not here. I was in the House when Hon. Mati was the Speaker of the Kenya National Assembly. He made sure that he never appeared in a political rally because he was the head of an arm of Government. This is a point that ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: justice, the Chief Justice is supreme to the two arms, just like we are supreme on matters legislation and that is what the Constitution says. According to the Constitution, on matters executive, the President together with the rest of the Executive is supreme. On matters judiciary, the judges, magistrates and the Chief Justice are supreme. When you have a situation where the Chief Justice stands in line in a crowd waiting to be recognised, in terms of decorum and manners, that is very bad manners, leave alone the question of judicial decency. I appeal to the Chief Justice that we ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this amendment, which is borne out by the report. Before I speak to the amendment, I congratulate the Committee because in reality, over the period when this Senate was elected in 2017, we have received various Committee reports. However, this report is exceptional. I congratulate the Committee for coming up with a report which deals with the problem at hand in a very effective way within the period that they had. In fact, in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: supporting the amendment and looking to the future, this Committee must be reconstituted in some shape and form to follow up. This is because the report came out in November last year and after making these recommendations, by this time, there should have been some signs that the Executive or the people responsible are taking some actions with regard to this report. The amendments are borne out by the report without going to the second volume, which the Senator for Makueni has referred to. However, if this report came at a time when Ministers were sitting in Parliament, we would ... view
