• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you heard Sen. Orengo right, I just told him, “follow me”; whether it was Friday this way and Monday this other way, nothing changed. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Cheruiyot is talking about people who know nothing about what they are talking about. Is he in order to mislead the House that the responsibility of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) is not to restructure debt? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you taught me, and you know very well that, that is one of the main responsibilities of those two multilateral agencies. Even in the past, I have participated in debt restructuring in this country. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. Wetangula to reduce petitions and the defence we make here on behalf of our counties to crying? If I was crying for Arror and Kimwarer dams, which I did and confess that in the list he is holding at least Arror Dam is there--- So, my only petition is on the Kimwarer Dam. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, most importantly, is Sen. Wetangula in order to tell the House that the President should complete projects and on the other hand say that we should deny him from borrowing. How will he ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize to Sen. Linturi, but because of interest of time, permit me to move a Procedural Motion for extension of time like you have already permitted me. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No.31 (3) (a), the Senate resolves to extend its sittings until conclusion of debate on the Motion in Order No.8 on today’s Order Paper. I request Sen. Kihika to second the Procedural Motion. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for opening this window. This is the first time this is happening since we started impeachments. In Governor Mwangi wa Iria’s situation, we wanted a similar process. However, we could not and we only made few comments. The statue says that the impeachment is over and it also gives the reasons of why the governor was not impeached. So, I respect the County Government Act and the Standing Orders which does not give us the latitude to discuss why the governor was not impeached. That is gone and done. That is how we drafted the ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pardon me. I meant injuncted, but it seems my mind is on impeachment. We made the right decision on whether Senate can be injucted. Many of us spoke on the Floor of this House – and it is in the record of Parliament - on what is the right position. Regarding the ruling of the Speaker as to whether Senate can be injuncted or not, it is very clear that Parliament cannot be injucted. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the product that comes from Parliament can be challenged in courts or declared by courts to be null and void, ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Secondly, I want to appreciate the fact that even in this debate, there is always this argument that a Governor has not been given a fair hearing. It is not only in this impeachment process, but in all the other six impeachment processes that went before us, the argument has always been that fair hearing has not been given to the governor at the county level. It is established as ruled by the Supreme Court that those issues can be raised at the Senate, because this is where the trial is taking place. Mr. Speaker Sir, I am happy that ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: because, together with various actors, including the former Prime Minister, the CS Devolution among others, they tried to look for a solution in an ad hoc manner and it did not work. However, through a mandatory process of this House, there will be a mediation process lead by the Committee on Devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to request Governor Samboja to appreciate that this is the Senate; it is not a kangaroo court. When the Senate tells you to come here, we are taking judicial notice of what is happening. He is happy to be a DJ in his ... view
