• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am also a culprit as far as that question is concerned. Sometimes you move somebody from a Committee without consultation and you do not know that, that person has a professional or devotional interest to it. When you make that movement, it becomes extremely difficult. I hope that working together with the House and the Senate Majority Leader, we will accomplish this process by Tuesday afternoon. view

• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Now that the point has been made, I want to inform Sen. Farhiya that what she said is a big conversation in the international community. The experience is if they give money, the money is stolen. It is easier to steal money in the process than stealing food. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) normally gives foodstuff. They will not give cash. Therefore, until we learn how to deal with corruption in our midst, these things view

• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, is it right that a lawyer who has been admitted to the High Court the other day, to confuse what is before the House today? This is not a matter of the Power and Privileges Committee. This is a Motion on censure and one can be censured on anything. I know that the Committee on Powers and Privileges has already acted on the basis of powers under the Constitution and sanctioned hon. Keter, the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Energy. The Committee has fined him Kshs500,000. There was a process where hon. Keter should have gone ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I did not mean to say anything but when I press the red button you know exactly what I wanted to do or to say. I am rising on a point of order that the conduct of the Senator for Nandi is now disrupting the whole debate and this is a serious debate. What I was taught is that you can make noise or make comments or keep on talking when it is another Member talking. However, when the Speaker is speaking the House must always listen in silence. I pray to you, otherwise, we can never ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I wish to thank all distinguished Senators who have participated in this debate. I emphasize that this Motion has been bipartisan in the sense that it has received support from both sides of the House. I want to demonstrate, particularly to Sen. Halake, the importance of a censure Motion. Normally, in parliamentary democracies, a censure Motion would never get to the Floor of the House. This is because the ruling party would never allow it to come to the Floor because they know its consequence. They would never allow a censure Motion against their own to be ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, more importantly, in our own constitutional order, we have set a basis for removal. Once you have been found to be in contempt and have disobeyed the view

• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the way Sen. Kang’ata came in here, I knew he was coming for this Bill. When he comes for a Bill, he has made up his mind in many ways. However, I want to inform him one of the good things about this Bill. The way we deal with disaster in this country is disorganised. This is creating a framework, not only to bring people together, but also how to react to it. One of the things that happened when there was that Katrina Hurricane in the USA, where we have many competent authorities, but when ... view
