• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: The loss in terms of public resources should also be borne by the National Assembly, not as an Institution, but individually because they now have to republish all those Bills. Those Bills must go through the National Assembly and the Senate at great public expense. That should never have happened from the beginning. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: I say this not in triumphalism; I am only saying that it pays to obey the law. Even as we disagree or agree, it pays to obey the law. Whatever is your political persuasion or position in life, at the end of the day, it pays to obey and comply with the law. I am saying this now that we will go through tumultuous times. I cannot say that this period we are going into is going to be--- It may be an understatement, but I think at the end of the day - from both sides of the political ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: In conclusion, I want to thank the Speaker for making it possible - since some of us were away - for us to prosecute this case from abroad, without the Senate paying an extra expense. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that as we consult, we are able to go down on record in matters of debate that we give ourselves time to prosecute business that is before us. As I second this Motion, I want to note that the membership of the Senate Business Committee is assigned to certain offices in the leadership, whose names do not appear. That is a matter of standard practice and flows from the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. The names that you find in the list are those of other leaders, including the Deputy Majority Leader, the Deputy ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: All those Bills are going to come back here. Some of them relate to financial statutes, which are required to be passed by the National Assembly essentially. However, since there were no consultations between you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, and the Speaker of the National Assembly, all those were rendered unconstitutional. Therefore, the business of the House is going to be heavy. As we said, the Senate Business Committee needs to sit, not tomorrow but today, in order to make sure that all this business comes to the Floor of the House. Finally, I want to urge this House that in ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Senator from Nairobi City County is creating alternative facts. If ever he could deny there was a Githurai and Burma incidents where we saw least decorum, then he should be the one to go to the village. By the way, any time he has gone to the village, he has come back a better man. Therefore, I think what we have learnt in the village is good for the city. view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I will be brief. First, I was wondering why we had to go through this process in this manner, although the urgency is self-evident. However, whenever the law comes into place, as a nation and a country, we would have complied. I do not think the timelines necessarily require us to pass the law on a given date. The only thing that stands which may threaten the interests of our athletes in the country is that if there are sporting events in January or February, they may not be able to comply ... view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: The other important feature is on the therapeutic use exemption. This Bill allows an athlete with a medical condition to use a prohibited substance or method, only if the condition set out in Article 4.4 of the World Anti-Doping Code and the international standards for therapeutic use exemptions are met. This is an important provision in the Bill and the purpose there is self-evident. There is a matter which I heard Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri talk about and I think that was in confirmation of what the Senator for Bungoma County was talking about. It is on the issue of education, ... view
