• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: happen, that becomes the picture of the Government in power, if it cannot protect young people and this is happening every day. I am getting sick of this matter. Kenya was not built in a situation where people lose their lives just like that. You will hear there will be no conclusive investigations on this matter. The Inspector-General (IG) of Police should be summoned. In fact, it is not enough to refer this matter to the Committee. The Committee can have a report within two weeks. We can even have a Special Sitting to discuss this matter. It cannot wait ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support the Motion. I want to thank the Senate generally for the good work we have done. Looking at the constitutional arrangement in so far as the legislature is concerned I think we have done a very good job. Even when we had conflict, the other arms of Government particularly the Judiciary have ruled in our favour. That means that in the spirit of constitutionalism we try to resolved our differences within the terms of the Constitution at all times and I think this is what should be encouraged. I hope that in this ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Finally, I want to talk about what I think is going wrong in this country and it cannot be resolved until we use the Constitution in the way it was meant to work. All those who were appointed as public officers are supposed to work in accordance to the Constitution whether they were elected or not elected.

• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: second in command in that Council is the Vice President. I do not sit there and neither do our principals. If something happens to the Vice President anywhere, the best place for him to bring it up is at the National Security Council. Matiang’i cannot act in the absence of the President because the order of responsibility and importance of that Council is spelt out in the Constitution. If you look at the national oaths and affirmations in the Constitution, one of the primary duties of the vice president is to counsel and advise the president. I do not have ... view

• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: We should have politicians who do not live a lie. You cannot be in the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) during the day and at night you claim you are in Jubilee, or you are in UDA in the evening and in the morning you claim you are in Jubilee. I am actually making a statement and a proposition. If the Executive does not deal with the fifth column in the Government in good time, we are going to have a very unstable period. Like the great Irish poet said, things fall apart because the centre cannot hold. Abraham Lincoln said ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: I mean, we just use the Bible and the Church and religion for convenience. So, let us stop this lie. Jubilee party should get its house in order. Those who are not prepared to work within that Government should do the most honourable thing, if their consciences are clear. view
