• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: When they came back Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. told us not to worry about Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. He did not just confess to us but to God that he was going to stand firm with “Team Kenya” and he did so. It is very sad that this House and the country has lost such a gentleman at his level. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: I used to joke with him that if his political career ends soon, he should consider a career in the Bench, so that he could write very good judgments based on the immense knowledge he had. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: We will miss our colleague, but tell the people of Machakos to take heart. Your Senator did wonderful things in defending you outside there and inside this Chamber. God will guide you also to get another leader who will follow in the footsteps of Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: With those few remarks, I wish his family the very best and God’s grace. view

• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not agree with Sen. M. Kajwang’. We can sit up to midnight and it will not be the first day to do so. However, most importantly, yesterday we delayed for 45 minutes and the parties indulged us. So, there is no need to go that direction. Considering that it is only 15 minutes, we should not waste wait more time. Let us proceed. view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, 30 seconds. The County Assembly has given us several video clips. The governor also gave us a number of video clips from the County Assembly to facilitate the very important question that has been asked by almost everybody. You saw some of our colleagues who are going to participate in these proceedings via Zoom. They will vote via Zoom and we will see their faces and hear their voices. Did you share with us a similar vote in terms of the video clips for the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) who were not inside the Chamber ... view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I know that I cannot raise a point of order against you. However, you only proposed the question. You did not put the question on the time we are supposed to debate here. It is just that it is out of procedure, but that is water under the bridge. The real tradition that has been established in this House from the time impeachment started is that the Senator of the county where the governor is from speaks last. Generally, there is always indulgence to give him or her more time. There is a reason ... view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank both counsel for the Governor and the County Assembly for the work they did. I want to agree with many of our colleagues who said that an impeachment process though legal has a lot of political implication. This House is presiding over the fourth impeachment procedure this term. Unlike last term, this term of the fourth impeachment process, three have an element of State sponsorship. Two particularly have a full support of the State, including this one. I have a problem with that because if the national Government will use its machinery, both ... view
• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Article 96 of the Constitution was not established by accident. It says that the Senate shall protect counties and county governments. It was put in place because it was known that there is a danger that county governments are facing. Where is the danger from? There might be other quotas where county governments may face danger from, but the most primary institution that threatens county governments is the national Government because of the competition between the national and county governments. Today, from the witnesses and testimony we have heard from the Nairobi City County Government, all this is about control ... view
