• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I beg to second. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to give some clarity to this issue because of the statements that are being made. At a particular time, just like Sen. Omogeni, Senior Counsel, when proceedings were in the Supreme Court, nobody even bothered about the outcome until he came here to tell us what the outcome was. If you ask anybody what the outcome of that case was, I think it is only Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., who in certain conversations that we had with the Treasury when they were misquoting the judgment of the Supreme Court, who was able to point out ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: consideration of whether a matter concerns counties or not is a matter they take to a committee in the National Assembly without reference to the Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to the proposal, which if the parties accept is going to be filed in court - a consent order - I need not try to elaborate the difference between a court ruling and a consent order.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would urge you that we look at the content of that consent order.

This is because that is the contention which some other parties have brought. Without them signing consent, we will have to go into determination of whether the Bills that have been passed ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the position is that no consent has been filed. The case is starting tomorrow and the Bench directed that there will be no adjournment. I would want to confirm to the Senate that our lawyers in the Directorate of Legal Services have filed their submissions on every question. Nobody has gone to rest. Some of us who have been following this matter deserve a pat on their back because preparing submissions is not an easy thing. If I show you the authorities and submissions filed, you will realize it has not been easy. The Directorate of Legal ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Now that the consent has not been filed, let people come to court tomorrow. The judges said there will be no adjournment tomorrow; we must argue the case for two days. The CoG also has problems with certain Bills. The Katiba Institute has also raised some issues. Yes, there were discussions which did not amount to a consent being filed or a withdrawal. We are now put in a situation because of the directive of the court. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: This is the COVID-19 time. It is a Bench of five judges who said there would be no adjournment tomorrow. Sen. Cheruiyot, I would want to see you in the court tomorrow whether virtually, but I think it is a physical hearing. view
