• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Please, let me finish and then you can call your point of order. view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are points of annoyance because I am not discussing the merits or demerits of the case. I am only trying to demonstrate to my colleagues why I am proposing the committee way. I want to plead with my colleagues to listen to me and me an ear because, ultimately, they will make the decision. Today, considering myself as a ranking Member of this House, I have sat through maybe four or five impeachment processes. The reason I am suggesting to my colleagues that we should consider passing this resolution is because I have experience. It will ... view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: men and women who represent counties and the Senate of the Republic of Kenya to go through the documentation. They will come back and tell us, “colleagues, distinguished Senators, this is what we have found.” We do it very well. I am one of those people who believe - and you will go through the experience - that if you chose to go the Plenary way, you will get bored here, walk out and the two lawyers will rant and say whatever they want to say. view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Sen. Cherarkey, you will have an opportunity to make your case--- view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I now understand why a former colleague said that if--- Let me quit it there. It is important for us to reason. I want to plead with you, as I call my colleague, Sen. Crystal Asige, to be able to second this Motion, to consider the committee way because, today, you are sitting there and tomorrow you will be a governor. When you are a governor, you will want to be given an opportunity to be heard, asked questions and be represented. Finally, as I move, I hope that wisdom will prevail and that ... view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the wisdom of my colleague, Sen. M. Kajwang’, and love the fact that he is a stickler to the procedures. That is all we are talking about here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and request Sen. Sifuna to second. view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker, Sir. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on Standing Order No.80, which is the Standing Order that we are prosecuting. I would not wish to disrupt my colleague and brother, the distinguished Senator from Homa Bay, whom I respect a lot, but is he in order to suggest that the SBC can make a decision, yet, it is clearly stipulated on how such a decision should be made in our Standing Orders? The SBC deals with the Calendar of the House and resolves matters of the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you read, you clearly indicated that this was a decision and ... view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I rise to reply. I have listened to all our colleagues make contributions. As I reply, there are a few things that must be clarified, particularly for the new Members of the Senate. The beauty of debates is that you are either for or against the Motion. My job is to persuade you to find it fit to support the Motion, but with reason. When I was in school, I was taught that debate enriches skills and also challenges you to think outside the box. During the submissions of our colleagues, ... view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are a new democracy. I am happy that soon we will be celebrating 60 years of Independence. We have chosen a presidential system of governance. In the United States of America, during an impeachment process, a group of representatives are referred to as managers who prosecute the matters. They submit a report for the full House to debate. We are far when it comes to the issue of understanding the impeachment process. I know that what drives us is our political affiliation. As I close, colleagues, whatever happens today will go on record. This will help ... view
