• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: One Senator came to me, in my capacity as Majority Leader. She had attended one of these Committee meetings because she was a Member of the Delegation of a County. When she reached there, the elected Senator of that County started by saying, “For the avoidance of doubt, I support my Governor 110 per cent.” That was then followed by another Senator saying, “You know, Governor, we were classmates.” There was then laughter, joy and tea. That was reported speech, thus it may not be true. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to encourage our Committees that this ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: been paid, the second and third contractors were paid and yet it has not started. These are things that are outright. If we ultimately come here and then the report of Elgeyo Marakwet says it is now clear--- You know that I was a Member of that Committee, courtesy of your leadership. For the first one year when I sat in that Committee, one of the things that used to baffle me is that the Chair stands, asks the question, and then asks the Auditor-General whether that issue has been cleared. The Auditor-General then says that it has been cleared, ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that very kind gesture. I would like to thank the entire Senate for the fantastic opportunity we had to go to Kitui. Unfortunately, during the first activity, which was a football match, I fell and was injured out of football enthusiasm. It was an unfortunate accident. I would like to thank the whole team led by you because you were the captain of the team on that day. I want to thank our Bunge and Senate official team led by Mr. Antony Munene and the paramedics who attended to me in a very professional ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement by Sen. Halake. Early this year or late last year, this House passed a Bill that sought to ensure that there is adequate and prompt compensation for any land that the Government takes from any citizen for purposes of development in any way. We know that over the years, the pastoralists have been adversely affected by the Government’s decisions because it is always assumed that unoccupied land is free and can be taken by anybody. Secondly, it is important that such decisions that affect people--- Assuming that the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) have ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you can see, no one is complaining on the Senate Majority side. This is because they know their 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
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: leader is speaking, and I must lead by example. If I behaved like leaders in other Houses who attack, intimidate, and threaten legislatures because of what they said, then this House will not have the benefit of the wisdom of the many men and women sitting on the majority side. I am not saying that that license is given by virtue of constitutional or legal mandate. However, I must lead by example by encouraging my colleagues. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Orengo read Article 117(1) but did not read Article 117(2). Article 117(2) states that:- “Parliament may, for the purpose of the orderly and effective discharge of the business of Parliament, provide for the powers, privileges and immunities of Parliament, its committees, the leader of the majority party, the leader of the minority party, the chairpersons of committees and members.” There should be a certain order in Parliament because even in an orderly conversation in the House view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, so that we do not prolong a debate that is not there, it is important to have this kind of discussion in the House. The reason why Article 117(1) on freedom of speech and debate in Parliament was put there is because in the past, people were being recorded and reported for the things they say in the House. Unfortunately, though it does not happen in this House, it is still possible to hear cases of intimidation and harassment in other Houses. Therefore, freedom of speech is enjoyed in the House but freedom after speech is not ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: questions that are submitted to a person in the Executive without Members themselves visiting the site to interview the citizens of this Republic and deal with the stakeholders because it is important that we do so. Lastly, I cannot understand how the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (UK) reversed a decision of a Prime Minister who is an advisor to the Queen. The monarch is incomparable to any leader in this part of the world. They made a decision, wrote the judgment and delivered it. On 15th July, 2019, governors went to the Supreme Court to seek an advisory ... view
