• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what a coincidence that it took four months for one to be charged over incitement, which is a straight forward kind of a crime. It is actually a misdemeanor, considering what he said then. Assuming that it is a felony, it does not go beyond two or three years. 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
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: I am fully aware, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. However, I am talking about the coincidence between the criticism of the CS and his immediate charge thereafter. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Senate cannot be oblivious of such important matters as burning bridges. This is because the Senate was heavily represented in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Therefore, if there is a bridge that will be broken, the Senate must be more interested in dealing with it. However, the uptake of my comment is that--- view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the absence of the Chairperson of the Committee, who is currently facing incitement charges in court for an offence that allegedly took place in August this year and immediately charged after criticizing senior Government officials, I request, Sen.

• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it should rest there. The Senate Business Committee (SBC) and the Speaker should discuss this matter. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House has the power to hold all Business from the National Assembly at ransom, and refuse to discuss anything that comes from there. However, at whose expense? Business that comes from the National Assembly is new Business when it comes to this House. We can amend, change and approve it. Assuming that this House is already in court over a number of Bills that have been assented to which came from National Assembly, nothing stops the same people who made sure that those Bills are signed by the President--- view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is my leadership position. The Speaker should put his foot down. Article 110 is failing us, because the Speaker is not being consulted on how the Bills are moving. The reason why Bills are being held in the National Assembly is precisely because Article 110 has been disobeyed. This means that a Bill starts here, but by the time it goes to the National Assembly, it goes back to the reverse of Article 110, which is that it is a money Bill and it does not concern counties. If the Bill was moved the way ... view
