• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate Majority Leader must understand that he answers first to this House before he answers to any other person out there. To appear to be defending a position that takes away the jurisdiction of this House is an abdication of duty. I thought the Senate Majority Leader would be speaking with authority The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: telling us that the Senate leadership in no uncertain terms will not accede to a situation where that Bill will go to another chamber. In fact, I daresay if the debate is about concurrence then the question is squarely in your hands. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: If a Bill is being republished which was in this House and then concurrence is being sought, how then do we find ourselves in a situation where a Bill which was generated in this House and has been republished for concurrence, can be introduced in another chamber? These things should be straightforward. I want to challenge the Majority Leader to appreciate that when there is a conflict between his position and any extraneous interest even if it come from the Executive he must defer to this House. Is he in order? view

• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for my good friend and one of my brightest students, Sen. Cherargei, to be addressing strangers in this House like hon. Murathe he? Who is that? I thought when one is debating on the Floor of this House, one can only address the Speaker and the Members of this House. All other strangers wherever they may be, are not relevant to debate in this House. view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. Mine is very brief because of the record. I know that the Senate Majority Whip, Sen. Wamatangi, in his maiden speech, is anxious to defend the party leadership. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if he listened to me very carefully, my statements were in defence of those who are not sitting in this House. If we open the door for us to speak about the former Vice-President who is sitting there or Hon. David Murathe in a negative light, then there is no one to defend them here. It would be expected, of course, ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the request by the Co- Chair for extension of time for the Committee to deliberate on this very important matter. First of all, it is in public domain that I belong and I am part of the group in this Republic that holds steadily that this is not the time to amend our Constitution.

• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I do not have the luxury to watch the process and abstain from this very important process because I have a constitutional duty to contribute to this process of amending our Constitution. Therefore, since it is a matter of course, it is a must for us to participate in this process. Others have initiated it and it has come to this House. Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank the Co-Chair, Sen. Orengo and the rest of the Committee Members for locating the place of Parliament and institution of the Senate in terms of its contribution to this process. ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: I totally agree with Sen. Orengo that in a hundred years to come Kenyans will want to know what were the thoughts of Sen. Murkomen, Sen. Sakaja, Sen. Wako, or Sen. Wetangula in terms of amending this Constitution. It is sad that in the past, this House has had to rubber stamp things. I hope that this is not one of them. We are going to rise above our sectarian political sides. As the group of the “Hustler Nation”, we have always said that we are ready for a conversation, a consultation, and a win-win approach to this process of ... view
