• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, based on your Communication, this is a very straightforward Motion of establishing a Special Committee to investigate the allegations contained in the communication from the County Assembly of Taita/Taveta. This is a very sacred duty, and I am privileged, under your leadership, to have been the first Vice-Chairperson of the first impeachment in the Senate of the Republic of Kenya, which was led by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale as he then was. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr and Sen. Orengo were part and parcel of that investigation. Was it Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. really? He was not here ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: We then discovered that because of the timelines involved in the investigation of such a very grave matter, it requires a lot of commitment. Should this House approve these names, the Members who will serve in this very important Committee will have a very onerous task to perform a very sacred responsibility within a very short period of time and come up with a proper report. We find solace in the fact that we have some of the best and most qualified staff in the Senate who without their support--- The clock begins to run as soon as your Communication ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: achieved. There was the case of Gov. Mwangi wa iria where the Committee decided there was no culpability. There was even a situation where the report came here with culpability, such as the one for Mr. Kiala. The House relooked at the matter, the politics around it and the substance, and defeated the Report. It was a bipartisan decision by this House. I contributed to the failure of Deputy Governor, Mr. Kiala’s Report. I know there were people on the Minority side--- I was a backbencher and did not have any responsibility. We defeated that Report in a bipartisan manner. ... view

• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question before the House is not whether or not there will be investigation of the Governor of Taita Taveta County. We are past that. The question before the House is whether the investigation will be through the Committee of the Whole or a special select Committee. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Senator for Homa Bay, Sen. M. Kajwang, create the impression that opposing the Motion would mean there would be no investigation on the governor. However, opposing the Motion means that we will all investigate in plenary. It has nothing to do with whether there will be investigation or not. That stage has been passed because the Deputy Speaker has made the necessary Communication. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank all the Senators for their wonderful contributions. There was a pending matter about the reports of the Committee, whether they can be debated even if they did not indict the governor. 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
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: The Chairman of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations is here, and there were other processes of finding a solution--- That report is very important and we can make it a Motion thereafter to debate the issue. Secondly, there should be no struggle with our colleague, Sen. Mwaruma, whether he is representing the county assembly or county executive; he represents both them. The practice has been from our former colleagues who have had this situation come from their counties - and I want you to sit with some of them – that they have taken a passive role, including ... view
