• 21 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could you protect me from this uncivilized behaviour? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join the Senior Counsel, Sen. James Orengo, in congratulating you for your humility and being a shiny path for constitutionalism and the rule of law in this country. This is, indeed, what is required of all those who hold constitutional offices like the office that you hold. I think we went to court because we had a constitutional right to do so, and when one has a right, the right is an entitlement. I do not think the Senate is here ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in Senate: So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, these consultations that you are going to make, I think you should go there as a person who has rights; as a person who is demanding. You know, when a person owes you money, you have a right to recover that money; so, you do not go begging that “Please, please;” rather, you go and ask “When am I getting that money I gave you?” view
• 21 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we have seen consistent attempts to reduce the Senate into mere political flower girls, and the time has come for us to be united, stand firm, and resist all attempts to reduce the status and constitutional rights of this Senate. Being the first time that we are having a Constitution, how many constitutions were left by the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 21 Nov 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will be very brief because many of the things I wanted to say have been said by the previous speakers including Sen. Obure and Sen. G.G. Kariuki. First, I want to congratulate Sen. Sang for coming up with this Bill and also the Members of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. We did very wide consultations because there were arguments from legal groups that this Bill is illegal and unconstitutional because it offends the doctrine of separation of powers. But when we sat down with them and discussed, they all agreed with us ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Sometimes we do lock horns with the bullfighter, but this time round, I want to fully support him for coming up with an excellent Bill and idea. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, following what Sen. Orengo was saying about simplicity, I want to remind him about the Bible – I think in St. Luke- where it says that those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted. I think that, that is the spirit. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had Credit 1 in Christian Religious Education (CRE). view
• 7 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not know that Sen. Lonyangapuo was a professor of religious studies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that the message and spirit of the new Constitution is that we move away from imperial presidency, we should also move away from other smaller imperial presidents even at the village level. At one time in Washington DC, I was waiting for a taxi and immediately I flagged one down and got in, a well built person came and knocked at the door. He asked me whether he could share the taxi with me. I said that ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the national days, we are not attending them as Senators because no provision is made for us and, you know, you cannot go to push and shove in order to get somewhere to sit. I think the time has come for us to request, through the Senate Majority Leader – who is the de facto Prime Minister – to talk to the people in protocol so that arrangements can be made for Senators to sit at a designated area when we go to Nyayo Stadium or Uhuru Park during the national days. ... view
