• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we can deal with them together but your office should officially transmit that instruction on that particular question. I wish Sen. Cherargei was here. Indeed, he has been a Member of my Committee but I will bring the final report tomorrow on the issue he has raised because we are told that we cannot do a preliminary report. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: When you look at our Standing Orders, when a Petition is brought, part of what petitioners write in a Petition is that a matter is not before any court of law, so that we deal with something exhaustively in this House without attracting any issue of sub judice . 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
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: As soon as the petitioners brought this matter, they went to court, I think the next day or a week later on the same issue. We invited the governor, the Senator and the petitioners. In that meeting, the governor said he was willing to address the issue. Members of the Committee were also willing and asked them to choose whether they wanted it to be dealt with in court or in a committee. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: We even went as far as asking them to suspend the court action through appropriate means for 14 days. We were ready to give a determination but you cannot have your cake and eat it. There is a reason why our Standing Orders ask you to say whether the matter is before any other forum of competent jurisdiction. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: On any other issue pending, I am willing to listen to Members because as committees, we work on behalf of the people of this country and for the convenience of the House. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Sen. Omogeni knows our earlier discussion in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights that he chairs ably. There is a moratorium by the Speaker on county visits. If that is lifted for this purpose, I will be happy even within the next seven days to lead my Committee to Bomet, Kericho and Nyamira and sort this matter out. That is how we dealt with the issues of Wajir, Nakuru and many other counties. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Bw. Spika wa Muda, vile umesema ni kweli. Kuna Taarifa ambayo Sen. Omogeni aliitisha. Nimesema kwamba tuko tayari na tuna uwezo wa kuangalia mambo hayo. Wakati alileta Taarifa hiyo, Kamati tofauti ilipewa jukumu la kuishughulikia. Hata hivyo, nimesema kwamba, niko tayari ikiwa amri itatolewa kutoka kwa ofisi ya Spika ili Taarifa hiyo ishughulikiwe na Kamati ya Leba na Maswala ya Kijamii. Ikiwa hivyo, tutaishughulikia pamoja na Taarifa za Sen. (Dr.) Lang’at na Sen. Cheruiyot. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Kuhusiana na yale Sen. Cherargei alisema, nimesema kwamba, walioleta maombi hayo walienda kortini baadaye. Tuliwaambia wafanye uamuzi kama wanataka tuyashughulikie ama yashughulikiwe kortini. Tuko tayari lakini hatuwezi kutumia--- Kwa Kiingereza, tunasema it is abuse of proceedings, forums or parliamentary privilege. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Wanafaa kuamua; isiwe wanaweka bet moja hapa na nyingine kwingineko ili bet moja ikichomeka wawe sawa. Tuko tayari kushughulikia maombi yao. Hata hivyo, wanafaa kuondoa kesi yao kortini kwa sababu Seneti inaweza kutatua mambo hayo haraka kuliko jinsi itatatuliwa kortini kwa sababu tunaweza kutatua kwa siku saba. Tuko tayari wakiamua kuwa wanataka Seneti ishughulikie wala sio korti. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Kiswahili ni kigumu lakini nimejaribu. view
