• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wonder where Hon. Raila Odinga’s name came from. There are some people who when they sleep, dream and wake up, see Hon. Raila Odinga. Get used to the fact that in his fifth attempt, he might be the fifth President. He might be the one dealing with majority leaders in this House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I use the word ‘perhaps’. Definitely, the President has been in Ethiopia and he could be going to the United States of America (USA). Many view

• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: of us who are in the deep state like Sen. Linturi and Sen. Cheruiyot have not seen the President since he went to Ethiopia and the USA. What I am suggesting here is that we need to bridge that gap between the leadership in this House and the Presidency because people come here purporting to talk for the Executive and perhaps they have no relationship or link with the Presidency. People come to this House saying that the President has said, that this is the President’s position or this is the party’s position and perhaps they have not seen that ... view

• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: come to this House as an honorary Senator and would really add value to our audit initiatives. A retired Attorney General will really add value to this House. All these constitutional offices with security of tenure should be ending up in Senate for the reminder of the life of that Senate. Today we would be benefiting by having former Chief Justice, Hon. Maraga sitting in this Senate in an honorary and advisory capacity. I hope that if we are going to have the BBI version two, these are some of the ideas we will inject into it to strengthen the ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a rule on imputing improper motives on fellow Members. You notice that Sen. Cheruiyot himself did not cite the Standing Order under which he rose. He attempted the usurp the duty of the Chair or Speaker, to determine whether Sen. Kasanga was right or not. He went ahead to impute improper motives on Sen. Kasanga and Sen. Dullo. This reminds me of Chinua Achebe when he said: “When the centre cannot hold, things fall apart.” Sen. Cheruiyot is supposed to be listening to the Senate Deputy Majority Leader, Sen. Dullo. How can he impute ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, unfortunately the way Article 119 is framed it gives that blanket right to Kenyans to Petition Parliament on any matter. Sometimes, if you go to other countries like the United Kingdom and the United States of America, people send Petitions to Parliament on things that sound trivial. Someone will send a Petition that the neighbour is rearing a dog that is not fit to be in that neighbourhood and this makes it a big problem. Before the enactment of this Constitution, we had an Act of Parliament called the Petition to Parliament Procedure Act. When it ... view

• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: some of these issues should be directed. They could have many concerns as the Ombudsman, but when Hon. Otiende Amollo was the Ombudsman, it was visible, audible and we could feel it. I want to encourage my sister Florence Kajuju who is the current Ombudsman to ensure that she makes the public aware that the Commission exists and some of these complaints can be sent there. Even though Standing Order No.226 (3) only requires the Clerk to consider within seven days whether the Petitions meet the threshold in law. We need to define our own internal threshold. I see nothing ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just in one minute, allow me to commend Sen. Kasanga, an architect who has made mental health a great subject in this House. I did not see such passion in the previous Parliament. She is a Member of this House who has singularly dedicated herself to a subject not just in words. She has gone further to propose legislation. I join her in calling upon Members of the National Assembly to fast-tract the Bill that is before them. We shall see the success and the fruits of Sen. Kasanga’s work when we decriminalize suicide and ensure ... view
