• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just for the purposes of Sen. Murkomen, there were two categories of settlement schemes that were established immediately after Independence. The settlement schemes that exist in Trans Nzoia and some other places are where the black Africans were allowed to acquire land that belonged to the Whites, and they had to pay some value for it. Those settlement schemes are in Muhoroni and Koru. But if it is land for settlement, under the land adjudication and settlement, you have not only to be landless, but poor and landless. In this list, certainly, ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to take the position taken by the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader. The reason why we are in this quagmire is because of the selective reading of the provisions of the law. If you read Section 33 of the County Governments Act in its entirety, then the word “proceedings” makes sense, but if you refer to the word “proceedings” in the Standing Orders in isolation to the word “proceedings” as used in Section 33, then you end up into in a lot of trouble. For example, Section 33 (1) (ii) (b) ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: “The Governor shall continue to perform the functions of the office pending the outcome of the proceedings required by these sections”. view
• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: So, the proceedings that are contemplated are proceedings under Section 33. It is not any proceedings before the House. This is so because if you look at the provisions of Section 33, it spells out what the proceedings are. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view

• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am afraid that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale could have been right, because when there is now reference to the report and what impacted on the Committee, then they stand the danger of actually going into the report. I would seek your guidance on this; if the Chairperson could just make general comments or comments of a general nature. Otherwise, then, Sen. Khaniri may be quite right in what he raised. view
• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me also join the rest of House in congratulating the Committee for job well done, within the timelines as specified in the County Governments Act. view
• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would not take a long time. In fact, I would probably try to restrict myself to five minutes. There is a campaign out there that either the courts or some body out there should set the threshold for impeachment. Now, I find that to be a very dangerous statement which must be countered. So far, I think that the Senate has behaved and conducted itself very well in these proceedings, to show that justice will be done in accordance with the law. Nothing but the law will be applied in dealing with impeachment cases as ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I heard the Chairman of the Constitutional Implementation Commission (CIC) asking either the courts or some other tribunal to establish a threshold for these impeachment proceedings. So far, reading the two Reports, I think that there is a lot of literature in these reports about the question of threshold for impeachment. It is an issue which the Senate is very conscious about. In fact, in all these proceedings, and as I read this Report, I find that it is an issue that we have addressed time and again. Therefore, we do not need an opinion from ... view
