• 3 Jun 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your indulgence. I wanted to summarise by saying that the issue of the children who disappeared, five of them who have never been found, must be addressed whether we pass this Motion or not.

I have always argued in the past, the present and the future that the Judiciary cannot injunct Parliament in its legislative role, but in quasi-judicial or administrative roles, injunctions are quite legal. If there is a court order, it needs to be complied with. Secondly, I see no hurry in chasing a colleague. As the Speaker of this House, Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura is our colleague. Finally, I wish to go on record that this a travesty of justice, ... view
