• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just stood on a point of order because we should not allow the Senate Minorty Leader to mislead this House or Kenyans regarding evidence. What he said about the doctrine of admissibility used to be correct, I think he was remembering the case of Kuruma. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: That is Kuruma son of Kaniu vs. Regino. That has now been changed by the new Constitution through Article 50(4) which now provides that stolen evidence is no longer admissible, especially if it violates human rights. It says that evidence obtained in a manner that violates any rights or fundamental freedom in the Bill of Rights shall be excluded if the admission of that evidence would be detrimental to the administration of justice. This is a qualification of the principle in that case. I was just bringing this to the attention of the distinguished lawyer and Minority Leader. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join you, as an old boy of Alliance High School, in most warmly welcoming the students and teachers to the Senate this afternoon. I am not the only old boy of Alliance High School in this House; our Speaker, Sen. Ekwee Ethuro is also an old boy of Alliance High School. Other Senators, including the Senator for Busia, Sen. Wako, Sen. Orengo and Sen. Prof. Anyang’- Nyong’o, among others are also old boys of this School. So, you can see that Alliance High School has produced many great leaders, including the Senator for ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to send my sincere condolences to the people of Garissa and those whose families have lost innocent students in Garissa University. This is a very serious matter. We hope that it will not be another Boko Haram story; with many students disappearing and not being found. There are about 500 people not being accounted for, we encourage our security forces to move with speed to make sure that every person is accounted for and the security situation in Garissa is brought to normalcy as quickly as possible. Madam Temporary ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I am one of those who stood twice, as standing ovation, as President Uhuru Kenyatta was making his Speech. I rise in standing ovation again when I remember that Speech. It was a great Speech. But before I say much about it, let me educate the Senate Minority Leader a bit about the things that he talked about in the morning, that is, the autobiography of Malcolm X. He made references to “house niggers” and “field niggers.” In those days of slavery, the difference between the two “niggers” ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my learned friend, Sen. Orengo, was there in the morning. The term was not derogatory in the morning, but it is now derogatory in the afternoon. The important thing is that there is a nigger or a negro who will pick the bucket and look for some water when the house is burning and that is Kiraitu Murungi. Let me leave those who want to pray for the winds to continue praying, but we wish the winds will not come. We all agreed and we understand where the President is coming from in this. Corruption in ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: My brother, I have also gone through it. That is why I am talking with this passion. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we were the first Ministers to step aside because there was so much noise in the media made about us so that investigation can take place. We were not told to wait for investigation to be concluded and then we leave office. We were told to step aside because we were powerful Ministers and that we would interfere with investigations. I was at home for nine months. Sen. Wetangula stayed for ten months while investigations continued. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know why the Senate Minority Leader is panicking. In his opening remarks, the Minority Leader said he rose to second this Motion. The Motion is very clear; that its purpose is to thank His Excellency the President. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: I have been listening to him and he is not thanking the President. view
