• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can see the Senate Minority Leader is telling me that we killed Okoa Kenya. However, it is important that we, as legislators, appreciate that the responsibility of providing a legislative framework as to whether the drawing of a cat can be a signature or not is this House. We are supposed to assist in directing the country. Gone are the days when we sat down and waited for the Executive, the President or any other person to give us that which we have a responsibility to do. Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the wonderful and ... view
• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as my Chairperson will give timelines, is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to direct his question through the Chair to the Government? Introduction to his statement states, “is the Government aware.” In reality we have a constitutional body which those questions should be directed to.

• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his ruling two days ago, Justice (Dr.) Smokin Wanjala, my former lecturer, repeated that the independence of the Judiciary can be purely separated from the independence of the JSC.

Unless we want to talk about constitutional issues, it is ... view
