• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: It is in public domain that Sen. Loitiptip was in the company of his fiancée, who is a daughter of a prominent governor in Kenya. He is a former Senator and the Governor of Nairobi City County. Nobody knows the motive of the attack and whether he was attacked as Sen. Loitiptip or because of his association or relationship with the good lady, otherwise known as Saumu, who is the daughter of Gov. Sonko. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: We all know that Governor Sonko has been in the public limelight. He has been attacked on several occasions by people who hold high positions in the country. Sen. Loitiptip has alleged that the attack had something to do with his relationship with the good lady and was there to protect his woman, like an African man should do. If that is the case, then you wonder why he was attacked. I have reports that need to be confirmed by the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. It is alleged that suspects who were arrested in relation to the ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) had confirmed that they will do thorough investigations and bring the culprits to book. I know many people may ask why a Senator was in a particular joint at that particular time, but he was not alone. Sen. Loitiptip is a citizen of this Republic and it is his right to enjoy himself wherever he wants and do whatever he wants to do in any part of this nation. We should not come to the conclusion that there are places for commoners that Senators are not supposed to go to. In this ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. Omogeni and Sen. Cherargei for coming up with this very important Petition. This is a serious matter. The legal profession, as we speak, requires an overhaul. It must be re-thought to respond to the challenges of the 21st century. Whereas this investigation will be done to establish the mass failure at the Kenya School of Law, I think we should do more. I do not agree with the suggestion that there will be only one institution of learning that will train lawyers for pre-bar examination. I also do not agree that that ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: In the US, once you register for the bar exam, it does not matter where you go to do the training. You can go to any institution, buy your pre-bar books, and be trained and coached by two or three people. In any case, you already have your Law Degree. The only remaining thing is for you to go and sit for the exam. 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
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: The exam should be set independently and marked independently where you do not know the students and you do not interact with the students personally. As such, personal favours will not be applied. Mr. Speaker Sir, when the parallel program was established in the universities, in particular the University of Nairobi - I was a student at that time – the then SONU vice- chairperson Sen. Kang’ata led a demonstration. Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. should hear this story because he was the lawyer. At that time the protests were done; they were led by Senator Kang’ata and the chairman was ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you could add me three minutes only because this is a very important issue which should go on record. Our complaint was that the legal training was going to be compromised because of mass training that does not regulate the number of people who join the legal profession. We did the demonstrations and my class survived; we did not have to do what they had forced at that point in time. Ultimately we have so many lawyers across the country. In fact, the complaint of the senior lawyers at the moment is that the imbalance at ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Assuming that Sen. Kang’ata could be suspected to have any mental-related issues, is it in order for Sen. Cheruiyot, in spite of the Bill we are debating, to ostracize and scare patients by making it look like having a mental illness is a negative thing and that they should not look for help? view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, they have not updated the current Order Paper. I can only see the one for Wednesday. However, I beg to move the following Motion- view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No.159, the amendments of the National Assembly to the County Governments (Amendments) No.2 Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2017) be now considered. view
