• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. M. Kajwang’. Those are very good interventions. This is a House of record. The last Senate already pronounced itself on certain things with respect to the Constitution.

• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Cheruiyot. Chairman of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, you have heard the comments from Members.

Cherargei and your Committee, take note of those comments, and the earlier direction that your Committee take up this matter and report to the House on your plan of action when it comes to the constitutional amendments that Senate deliberated on during the last Senate and this Senate, as well as the electoral laws and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Well done. Next Statement for this Order, No.51 (1)(b). The Chairperson of the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: I will indulge you, but you could have done that from the beginning. That is in order. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Halake, for stepping in for your Chairperson. I also want to congratulate the Committee for the work that it has done.
