• 12 May 2020 in Senate: This Committee should be ready and bold to bring further amendments to the relevant sections of the County Governments Act, to see whether we can strengthen those sections to protect staff at the county level. These are members of staff who are likely to be victims of political witch-hunt and gerrymandering. As the Senate, this is an area that we must continue interrogating. I have a Bill that this House already mediated and passed. We are waiting for the National Assembly to also conclude its part. It has very good provisions on strengthening the chapter on the CPSB. Thank you, ... view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: On a point of Order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We may want your direction on the consequentiality of the teacher-student relationship in this House. Last time when I acknowledged you as my great teacher, you were excited and happy and did not question on consequentiality. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: I do not want you to close that gate because I have two students in this House - Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko who did exceptionally well in my subject and Sen. Cherargei who also did very well in my four subjects. You also know, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did well in your class. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is with tremendous respect that I make the following comments. First, I respect the rules of this House, the Constitution and the Standing Orders. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have received your communication, not that we were not aware of the machinations and the schemes that were happening, but I am shocked by you. This morning, I came to your office with the Senate Majority Whip and we served you with an order that was procured after an application that the Majority Whip was part of. In that application, the court and the tribunal are very express. It stayed any decision that is going to be made based on the purported coalition agreement between the Kenya African National Union (KANU) and the Jubilee parties. That ... view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the history of this House will be written for your time as the second Speaker under the new Constitution, that decision will be key. Secondly, I stand here knowing for sure that if you have 20 Senators and the court has ruled that three of them from KANU cannot participate in the elections, that means you only remain with 17 Members of the Jubilee side. Together with the Party of Development and Reforms (PDR), we form 35. That means that the majority of the remaining Members were against the decision. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Going back, Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you ruled on the case of Sen. Orengo replacing Sen. Wetangula, you made it clear about the form of communication. You said that communication can only come under Standing Order No.19 which is express. It can only come from the Majority Whip, if it is the removal of the Senate Majority Leader, and vice versa. It anticipated that there will be no situation where you can remove both of them at the same time. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: These are important positions. It is not about my position. If you have made your determination or if you have been pushed to a corner to make that decision, I would like to say this--- view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am the one who is affected by this decision. Therefore, my colleagues should give me some respect because they will have the rest of the two-and-a-half years to celebrate this decision. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not said you were pushed by anybody. I have just said that if the evidence before you pushed you to a corner and you have made a decision that is not reasoned, it does not give the reasons, the names and what you will do with the tribunal decision that came before you. You only said that you will have a reasoned decision later. view
