• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Hon. Senators, let me take this opportunity to remind Standing Committees that petitions hold a very central role in our governance as they avail a mechanism in the House for the public to exercise a right granted in Articles 37 and 119 of the Constitution. I, therefore, once again, urge committees to deliberate on them with the seriousness they certainly deserve. I note that a big number of petitions are still pending before various committees. Lastly, hon. Senators, and as the Speaker has confided, pursuant to Article 132 (1) (b) of the Constitution of Kenya, the President of the Republic ... view

The Bill that you read; the communication from the National Assembly was passed by this House to concretize the provisions of the Supreme Court and provide the procedure for replacement of a deputy governor. It is incumbent also upon us to expedite that law so that the gap is not ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: I hope the Chairperson is listening.

These reasons could be genuine, but when ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like you to rule Sen. Malalah out of order. We are discussing a specific situation of Nairobi, governance and filling positions in Nairobi City County government, which in my honest opinion, in some of the things we have suggested, it is not imperative in law to do certain things but it is good in governance. The Governor of Nairobi City County is being discussed. Is he in order to insinuate that the Governor of Nairobi City County does not have a degree, when I know Gov. Sonko posted a picture when he was in class ... view

(Dr.) Agnes Philomena Zani to preside over the sittings of the Senate for the remainder of the day. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: This is a rather straight forward Motion. I moved a similar Motion earlier this week. Most of the Members of the Speaker’s Panel travelled out of the country on official duty. Therefore, it is not feasible that it can be expected that you, Madam Temporary Speaker, will sit on the Chair for the rest of the day up to 6.30 p.m. It is humanly impossible to do so. It is only feasible that we have a Temporary Speaker for that position as permitted by the Standing Orders and the Constitution so that the business of the House can run smoothly. view
