• 14 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to buttress what my colleagues have said. I agree that the first preliminary objection falls because precedencies have been set that Parliament cannot be injuncted on the course of its work. However, you have been invited to make a critical decision without speaking on whether the threshold was 31 or 32; both parties have come up with arguments and counterarguments about why they think 31 would be the threshold or 32 would be. Authorities have been cited, especially in the Tana River County. The county speaker and Nkaduda versus the County ... view
• 14 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow the 47 delegations to make this decision on whether it should be 67 Senators or 47 Senators, whatever would be the case if it touches on the counties. However, allow the Senators who are the judges on this matter to make this decision. On this matter, you are an umpire. You have no dog in this fight. Yours is to umpire--- view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We conform to the directions and Communication that you have also given. I agree with the wisdom of the Senator for Nairobi City County that this is a matter of serious public interest. The matter before us is so weighty. It cannot be left in the hands of 11 people. We need to hear it in plenary. I also plead based on two arguments. Looking at the Communication that you have read, the number of grounds that have been set or founded in this impeachment Motion are 11. From the experience that we have had ... view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: debate. Even if we have the two days that you have communicated to debate, we need to leave it open. If we find ourselves done with the witnesses from both accusers and defendants and unable to debate, we can come the next day debate and take a vote. We should not hurry this process as we did last time. We did not hurry it because we wanted to. Many Members wanted to contribute. That is the reason why the voting was very acrimonious. Thank you very much, daktari, for that. Nyandarua County is far and we have small challenges. You ... view
• 3 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.56(1)(b) of the Senate Standing Orders, to make a statement relating to the activities of the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources during the period of April to August, 2024.

• 3 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on a point of order. Rather, I am seeking clarification. view
• 3 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a lot of respect for the Senator for Nandi. In 1969, a distinguished legislator called Tom Mboya met Kenyatta operatives and was told that he was living on borrowed time. Afterwards, he did not live long. So, I want a clarification on what exactly Senator for Nandi means when he says that ‘I am living on borrowed time.’ view
• 26 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to start by wishing you a happy birthday. I also do not remember mine, but it is on a very special day. I was born on Valentine's Day of 1991. I welcome the MCAs and staff from Makueni County Assembly.

• 26 Sep 2024 in Senate: I also very quickly welcome the MPs from the 12 nations that are in the Speaker's Gallery. Allow me to reiterate the position that I have mentioned in the past and has been mentioned by the Chair of the caucus, that, parliaments are major players in the space of climate change because the work of preparing budgetary allocations and budget is always a preserve of parliaments in almost all our democracies. It is for this reason that we then must ensure that we learn from each other. We should do exchange programmes between countries; the 12 countries that are here ... view
