• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am reading Article 179 of the Constitution. First of all it says: “A County Executive Committee consists of the County Governor and the Deputy Governor and the members of the County Executive.” Sub-Article (4) says: “The County Governor and the Deputy Governor are the Chief Executive.” This is a language from the corporate world. Then it says again at Sub-Article (6): “The members of the County Executive are accountable to the County Governor.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you read the Constitution and the County Governments Act, things begin and end with the Governor. That ... view
• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought that you would be useful in terms of pointing out to the counsel what we would like to hear at this stage because it is not really a general address. view
• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, let me thank the County Assembly for coming up with this matter and particularly the lawyers who made a very strong case. Their performance before us was really commendable. However, we need to ask ourselves; what is the evidence which has been presented before us by the County Assembly? What is the evidence that has been presented before us by the County Assembly in pursuit of this impeachment? From their own bundle, the three most important documentation that they have brought here are; a report of the Controller of Budget, that of the Auditor-General ... view
• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: I withdraw those sentiments. view
• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: That is why I am saying things are even wrong with the governor’s office. I think when accusations against the governor are being made like for example, you are putting somebody in acting position for two years, there is something you are trying to tell us; that you are putting somebody there on notice that he can go anytime. Those are not good management practices. You are the one who is the overall in charge of affairs in Nyeri. If anything goes wrong, you are the person to be taken to account. I thank you and I oppose. The electronic ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. As I was listening to the introductions, they were not proper because they were names in regard to particular persons or individuals, it was one name and there was no prefix; Mr., Mrs., Hon. --- We did not get all that proper introduction for purpose of record – and also designation - I am being reminded by my colleague, the Senator for Kakamega County. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view

• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: I thought that rules changed in my absence. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In regard to what you have just said, the witness statement the way it appears is just a broad statement. It is not even evidence the way I look at it. The problem is that you will have to tell us whether we are free to ask the witness the questions on behalf of the county assembly. I doubt whether they should be in a position to answer questions on behalf of the county assembly. Are the counsels who appeared for the assembly the ones to answer questions on behalf of the ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, since this is a quasi - judicial body, I would urge you that the witness do not just adopt the statement. This is because we are taking a very serious action on the power that we have been supplied with documents and some of them are not authored by the County Assembly. They are relying on, for example, documents which have been written by contractors. We do not know whether those contractors could admit that indeed those are their letters. There are a lot of documents which are not primary documents in this bundle. Therefore, the only ... view
