• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: I thank Sen. Mungatana for cleverly and wisely crafting this Bill to avoid conflict of law. There are quite a number of other issues, which intertwine with what he is trying to do to help Kenyans and devolution. He has done it very well. Firstly, he clearly states that it is not a money Bill. Therefore, it avoids the complications of a money Bill that needs to be taken to the National Assembly. The Bill concerns county governments because these resources are in the counties. The legislative powers and rights of the Senate concern county governments. Madam Temporary Speaker, the ... view

• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: My colleague, Sen. Oketch Gicheru, wants to contribute. I believe we still have time for debate on this big matter. I will budge because he has really insisted, so that he gets to make a statement or two on this important Bill. I believe we can do a lot of amendments at the Third Reading stage.

• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to quote the Bible. Leviticus 13:22 states- “Do not practice homosexuality.

They must both be put to death for they are guilty of a capital offence” The Penal Code says the same quote. Under Section 56 it says that you will be jailed for 14 years, yet this is a capital offence in the ... view

• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Also, our Constitution is against that court decision. It is clear that in Kenya, marriage is between man and woman. At no point does Chapter Six, all the other good Sections of the Constitution and even the drafters of our Constitution such as Sen. (Prof) Kamar, intend marriages of that nature. The only distinction is the freedom of association. You cannot have freedom of association while sinning. You cannot offer judgment that legalizes sin. I am aware that this has taken 10 years in the courts. There is also another application trying to declare Section 76 of the Penal Code ... view
• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the appointment of Sen. Muthama, who has been a colleague for a long time. At one time, I was his lawyer when he was in the National Assembly. He got into trouble and found himself with the “Pangani Six”. He was instrumental in formation of Orange Democratic Movement Kenya (ODM-K) Party and was elected to the National Assembly. He later on became a Senator. Therefore, he understands what happens in the National Assembly and the Senate. view
