• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations on the proper constitution of Nairobi City County Government. 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
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: By way of introduction, the Constitution in Article 179 (1) and (2) states that the Executive authority of a county is vested in and exercised by a county executive committee composed of a governor, deputy governor and members appointed by the governor. It is unfortunate to note that the County Executive Committee of Nairobi County has been operating without being properly constituted as per the Constitution. It has been operating without a deputy governor for the last 15 months as well as County Executive Committees (CECs). There is a ruling that was given by the Supreme Court on this, where ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have raised very substantive issues about constitutional provisions on the constitution of Nairobi City County in terms of the dockets. Is it in order that we are now being side tracked to a different conversation? I do not want us to talk about the personality of the individual. I am talking about the issues that are making Nairobians not access services. Can we, kindly, stick to those issues? If we want to discuss a Governor in our Standing Orders, we will bring a substantive Motion to talk about the individual. As ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure whether---. He will be responding at the end. Let me be informed. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is not information as per our Standing Orders. That is an undertaking which he should give after people have deliberated on the issue. Please, Mr. Speaker, Sir, millions of residents of Nairobi City County want services. On the issue of personality, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) cleared him and it means he has papers. I do not at all doubt that he has a degree. However, what Sen. Malalah doubts is whether that degree is working. That is what Sen. Malalah is questioning. view

• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Senate Majority Deputy Whip in order to say that there is no provision when this House has passed legislation and the Supreme Court passed a judgement that gave 14 days for that to be done? Is he in order or was he just ill informed? I do not want to say misinformed. He is a lawyer of serious repute. view

• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would hate to educate a lawyer about a law. This country has other sources of law. One of them is Statute which is the process through which that Bill has gone and is now waiting for assent. Tomorrow, when you go to State House, you will tell the President to sign it. Another way is precedence, in a common law jurisdiction like ours, a declaration by the Supreme Court forms part of the law of this country. Therefore, the Supreme Court has said that this resolution must be made. I can see that Sen. Omogeni and ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you know, I am really shocked with what my brother, Sen. Malalah, is doing. I was worried when he said that there is a moribund chair and, in fact, I am a Chair and a Vice Chair. I wanted to know whether he is referring to me. This is because, I am the nearest Chair from where he is standing and so, in as much as he has withdrawn, can he make it clear that the moribund chair that he is was referring to cannot not be “super Senator Sakaja”, please? view
