• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Point of Order! What is your point of order, Sen. Murkomen? view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, points of order exist in this House for a particular reason. It must not look like we are irritating people by raising these issues. Sen. Malalah, in his reading of Kericho and Murang’a counties – the record bears me witness – said that we used a criteria adopted by the Senate and not the Committee. I explained myself very clearly and said that where governors have been cleared, like in the case of Kericho and Murang’a counties, the Committee Report was not adopted by this House. Therefore, that criterion is not a criterion of the Senate. He ... view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: First of all, I would like to appreciate the County Assembly of Kirinyaga for the fantastic job they did. Their preparation for the impeachment process was above board, in fact, it was exemplary. In many of the discussions that I have seen in print and electronic media, many people have praised the County Assembly of Kirinyaga as being acquainted and well versed with responsibilities of oversight. In fact, the Chairperson of this Select Committee, Sen. Malalah, a former MCA, should have spent a few minutes appreciating his former colleagues and their role. I find it very sad because I have ... view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: plant them. We impeached Gov. Waititu for other reasons that could not have been substantiated if we could have forced ourselves to go through the real processes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must demonstrate as a House the consistency of the impeachment standards. This is because in this House, we said that Governor Waiguru is not able to govern--- view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we indicted the governor on tendering processes, failure to give state of the union address, inability to lead in a harmonious manner, then finally, said that it is not substantiated. We must have consistency. Failure not have that consistency makes people out there to believe that we are not the Senate; we are sanitizers. As a House, we must show that consistency. Finally, I propose that we amend Section 33 of the County Governments Act that all impeachments must go through Committees and all the reports from the Committee, whether they are substantiated or not, must be ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I do not know how such a question is treated because I can get from Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko some of the issues relate to the national Government. However, the question of municipality and all that is defined in law, unless, of course, the Committee would investigate and respond to that, particularly when it is a county that has to make that decision. Anyway, let me withdraw my point of order and leave it to the Committee. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I would like to rise to comment on this Statement that has been brought by Sen. Mwaruma which is very important for all the counties and the country. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: First of all, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sectors of the economy; our social lives, religious lives in every county. However, as a matter of fact, there is a pandemic inside the pandemic which is corruption. There is lack of accountability when it comes to expenditure related to COVID-19. When we set up this Committee, I was a very strong proponent of setting up this Committee as the Senate Majority Leader. The Committee’s responsibility during the COVID-19 pandemic was to ensure that we push this country to have a joint strategy. My thinking was that, it was not just ... view
