• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, That is not good enough. view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, That is not even good enough because it should have been a declaration under the Oaths and Statutes Declaration Act; something which he can be pinned down on because we do not want a situation where evidence which is being given before the Senate can be recanted. He should recant it knowing that there would be consequences. Unfortunately, I would have taken a very different position as Sen. Murkomen did indicate. We have been used to calling witnesses. For example, in this Volume we would have said okay you have given us your evidence but we are ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is partly what Sen. Ong’era has asked. I was looking through the material that we have been given from the county assembly. I was hoping to find some evidence of a notice to appear before the county assembly served on the Governor like we have done in these proceedings and being given an opportunity to be heard. Unfortunately, we do not have the HANSARD. Is it possible that you point to us in the proceedings where that right was given to the Governor? Undoubtedly, the charges that you have presented against the Governor are serious. I ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am grateful for the guidance that you have given to the House. However, there are two issues that I would like to seek further clarification on. Normally, when courts go into conference and eventually pronounce themselves on an issue by way of a verdict and the judgement, that judgement would explain why a particular decision was reached. If that decision is reached and there is no explanation or reasons anchoring that decision, then it will not be in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution. Similarly, the decisions of the House are anchored through debate. People ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the spirit in which the Senator for Nyeri County is bringing that point of order. I will try to be quick. I was saying that Sen. Wako withdrew many criminal prosecutions against elected leaders and other public officials in relation to charges that were politically instigated during his time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason for this Bill was partly to have a stand-alone statute so that it is not part of the Elections Act. I think is as it should be. Secondly, the more The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is nice seeing you sitting on that Chair; may you continue to sit there. I hope the Senate Majority Leader will continue to have the same confidence. 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
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand under Standing Order No.98(1) to ask that the Mover be now called upon to reply. I wanted to speak, but given what is coming from the Floor, the case has already been concluded. Would I be in order to ask that the Mover be called upon to reply? view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I associate myself to what the leadership of the House has said about the passing of this Motion. In reference to the manner in which they have taken the results of the vote, it is mature and encouraging. The leadership of the House can bring a Motion and not necessarily expect the House to vote their way. This is the way forward because in Africa, it is difficult to vote like that. I hope in their ambitions out there, they can live with the results of the elections and not expect people to do things the way ... view
• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought what was being raised in relation to the question of quorum and that we defer this Order and that the ringing of the bell was out of caution because if you ring a division bell, then the bars must be drawn. When the bars are drawn, you have to take a vote. You cannot say we cannot vote. Alternatively, you can ring the bell because there is no quorum. But if you ring the division bell, then you must proceed to vote. You cannot ring the division bell and ... view
