• 21 May 2019 in Senate: guilty. What we are talking about here is the process of law. It is extremely important. I saw Sen. Malalah in a video, trying to defend himself. He asked why he was being arrested and he was told that he was just being arrested. It is a right to be told why you are being arrested and be told where you will be held. It is a right to be told you are about to be arrested and you have an opportunity to call your lawyer so that he can be available. It is also a right to be told ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: I have said here before and I am glad now that it seems the whole House agrees that we should not turn our criminal justice system to be a mob justice kind of institution. It should be an example about the rule of law. It should not be an entity for pleasing the powers that be or political sides. It should not be an opportunity for you to arrest someone from NASA, and then you arrest one from Jubilee to look like---- We are doing what Ocampo tried to do with the post-election violence of 2007/2008. I said and I ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: One of the things that shocks me about our criminal justice system is this idea of arresting people and then after two or three months, you release them and say there was no evidence; or you rush to court and say, we have not even recorded any statement from the suspect. By the time, you are arresting somebody at the level of a former Cabinet Secretary, for example, hon. Echesa, Sen. Malalah or hon. Gikaria who is the Chair of the Committee on Energy; you should at least have recorded a statement from that person or sought for the support ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: It is ironic for anyone to imagine that our desire is to remove someone from the CS position when we raise issues of that magnitude. That is far-fetched. I am glad that the Minority side is now defending the CS in charge of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Security. Those of us from this other side do not care if that person is a CS or a permanent secretary. All we want is the truth which will make our systems to work efficiently. The truth should also help us hold everybody accountable despite their position. I advise ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights said. He said that one can laugh at Sen. Malalah today just to find themselves in the same situation tomorrow. The process has to be clear, fair, and recognisable in law. It must also respect the rule of law. I support. view

• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not want to interrupt Sen. Pareno because her thought process was going on very well. However, she keeps saying that people never called for the rule of law and that 2017 elections happened and people ignored or did this or that. Is she suggesting that the people who 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
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: suffered because of 2007, 2017 elections or any other period that has just passed is faitaccompli and there is nothing that can be done? Is it her suggestion that it has become the past and when we talk about the current situation that has affected legislators, everyone including those who are saying there were issues then, are happy that they no longer have concerns and it is no longer an issue and it is something in the past? Could it be necessary for Sen. Pareno to say that as we deal with this matter, there is a pending matter related ... view
