• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had approached the Table to also establish how best this can be tackled. We have violated Standing Order No.106 many times. We are all guilty here because we are the ones who run to the Chair and ask you to limit our time to three or five minutes. However, this has been brought substantially by Sen. Omogeni and I totally view
• 16 Jun 2020 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
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: agree with him. It is only in few instances in the history of the House that we have a Motion of this magnitude. At the moment, Kenyans are tuned in from all over the country. In fact, I am told in Kirinyaga County, the social places that have been opened up to 7.30 p.m. and people are sitting in their homes waiting for this very important decision. They are not just waiting for the decision, but they want to hear whether our decision is based on serious deliberations in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the American ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I respect my colleague Senator for Migori. I witnessed his second coming at the University of Nairobi (UoN). We were in the same class. I was standing while he was seated. However, what is important is that we should not allow the argument he is making about lack of order in plenary proceedings, which is misleading, and that there will be points of order. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: There are rules that have been applied in the two impeachment proceedings that happened in the plenary. You will remember that even in the Waititu Impeachment, there were no interruptions because time was given to the lawyers. He can make his argument for the committee but not bastardize the whole process of the House. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we should rest this matter. I am really surprised that even Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., would fall into the same trap. I would have expected him to appreciate further because he has been here longer. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Section 33(5) of the County Governments Act 2012 - which I was privileged to participate in its drafting - provides that: “If the Special Committee reports that the particulars of an allegation against the Governor have not been substantiated, further proceedings shall not be taken under this Section in respect to the allegations.” view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are right. We must tell the public the reason why there is a clamor for Plenary or the Committee. It is because the Senators who are here know very well that if a Committee is chosen and for whatever reason they go and clear the Governor, that is the end of the matter. It will never come back to this House. The reason the people of Kirinyaga are crying that let it come to the House is because they are saying that instead of subjecting it to 11 Senators to make that very important decision, they ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir? view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. must stick to the Standing Orders. In this House, under Standing Order No.96, if you make an allegation, you must substantiate. It is clear from your rulings and the Standing Orders that you cannot import social media videos, newspaper cuttings and make them absolute truth here. You either substantiate or withdraw and apologize. view
