• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is the Senior Counsel, Sen. Omogeni, in order to use the term he has just used? Is it a parliamentary term; the „bull word‟. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will stick to the straight and narrow. Sen. Omogeni is a respected member of the Bar. He is a Senior Counsel. He used the „bull word‟ and I asked whether it is in order to use such a word, not just in respect of my senior, but for posterity, the „bull word,‟ which I do not want to repeat, parliamentary? If Senior Counsel insists that he did not use the word, let the HANSARD bear us out. Is he in order? view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I also thank you for according to Sen. M. Kajwang‟ conceiving the contents of this Bill. I thank Sen. M. Kajwang for not only moving this Bill, but also delivering it. He also claimed credit for delivery. Allow me to highlight two biases that I have and hope will not influence my remarks. The first is that the Deputy Governor of Nairobi City County who is the acting governor and a beneficiary of the transfer of power and the politics around, is a citizen of Tharaka Nithi County. ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, certainly. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that information coincides in the tragedy and mixed feelings we all have about our party, TNA which we founded with Sen. Sakaja. We worked very hard for it until the party got into headwinds and I do not think it will survive the crush. Article 186 of the Constitution--- view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the party is alive, but in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We wish it well, but I have already said from where I stand, I think it is over. Article 186 (1) of the Constitution provides that the functions that are provided for in Schedule Four Parts I and II respectively, shall be exercised exclusively by the national Government and county government, respectively. The lawyers call that exclusive jurisdiction clause. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 186 (2) provides what in law is known as concurrence jurisdiction. It says that a function may be performed concurrently by ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 187 provides that the reason for transfer is effectiveness. It is not for fun. It has to be manifested even in the transfer deed that the reason the transfer is being effected is to make the delivery of that service effective. Even in that case, the resources are supposed to follow the organ or level of government implementing the function. However, the constitutional responsibility remains with the original owner of the function. The same provisions of Articles 186 and 127 have been amplified in Sections 25 and 26 of the Intergovernmental Relations Act of 2012. ... view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I want to make very brief remarks. First, I will talk about the strikes and incidents around our schools. It is my view that the curriculum is overcrowded for our children. The situation has even become worse with COVID-19 because a heavy curriculum has now had to be dealt with in the context of a backlog. There is only so much that a human can sustain. It is impossible to raise children while subjecting them to the kind of study programme that we are subjecting them to at the moment. Secondly, as nation, we must ... view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: As an officer of the court, am imploring our Judiciary to be sensitive of the practicability of the court orders when they make them because we must respect the court orders. When a judge instructs a public institution to do something, he must ask himself how that public body will implement his court order. Otherwise, we are creating a difficult situation where one will have an embarrassment and we do not want to expose our Judiciary because they have already been exposed by other arms of Government. We will be the last to expose our Judiciary to any lack of ... view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I almost asked whether it was in order for, Sen. Cherargei, to refer to the Speaker as his neighbor. However, since he has finished, I will leave it to lie. view
