• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know you had ruled that Sen. Kang’ata’s was a point of disturbance. Sen. Wambua of Kitui County is making very good points and I am the only one who has been stamping my feet to congratulate him for the same. However, this is a House of equity. Is it in order for him to try to drive his debate to a direction of us versus them? The principle objective of the BBI is to unite the country. Can the Senator for Kitui County make the case for Kitui County without trying ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that we are debating the Bill, but I sympathize with my sister, Sen. Nyamunga, and I know where that comes from. Sen. Petronila said that she is supporting the Report. There is a varied understanding of the Report in terms of its conclusions. The Chair of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights said that it should be amended. Therefore, when one is supporting, I understand the contradiction. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to say that this is a very historic moment. The time we have does not do enough justice to the subject matter before us. But be it as it may, I will try my best to make my few contributions to this very important debate in the country. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: I stand to oppose this Constitutional Amendment Bill. My opposition for this Constitutional Amendment Bill is very clear. It starts with the basics. The basics for me is the understanding of the popular initiative process of constitutional amendment. There is a reason there are various processes of amending the Constitution. One is through Parliament and the other is through popular initiative. Popular initiative, from the tautological understanding of our Constitution, 2010 – and if you read the Yash Pal Ghai Constitution Review Commission Report--- I had the privilege of working for the Constitution Review Commission for a short period of ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: can propose for amending the Constitution. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: I am very skeptical of this process because the process of establishing the BBI Committee was not a constitutional review committee. Indeed, in terms of composition of its membership and the structure of the appointment of the BBI Committee, it was meant to look at certain issues affecting the country, particularly, we were told that it would go around the country and find mechanisms of uniting the country. We are grateful that one of the Members of the BBI Steering Committee is seated here as a Senator. I must confess that I am aware of how she ended up being ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the point to make here is that even if you go to the members of the Committee - the late Sen. Haji was here, and others – the process was not intended to be a constitution making body. It was muted and we must accept that perhaps the intenders of the establishment of the BBI Committee knew what they were doing, but the rest of the country was not made aware of the objective of the BBI process. We were told that we had to unite the country and collect views. I am glad that the Chair ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 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
