• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: I am talking about what happens in the corporate world. If you are unwell and unable to exercise your duties in the office, it will not be acceptable that you remain unwell forever and remain on the payroll forever. This is a lacuna and it is upon us to deal with it. I do hope that this Motion will prompt that conversation. As it is, a governor can be unwell permanently and he can be re-elected while in the hospital bed and be unwell for another five years. As you said, does that constitute incapacity? Incapacity arising out of ill ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: public sector. That way, absence as a result of illness is not permanent; absence as a result of a jail term of less than 12 months, there can be clear provisions. Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the appeal should not just be to constitutional Commissions. Even in cases where a governor who has been charged – for example, in the case of the Governor for Samburu – the problem is not the Independent and constitutional commissions that are not cooperating. The problem could be the county assembly or the Cabinet. We were just told a story today of a deputy ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order. Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is a common practice in parliamentary democracies that when a Member is making a maiden speech, that speech shall be heard without interruption and interference. Am I in order, that Sen. Prengei--- view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to bring to the attention of the House that the matter being discussed is a matter that affects 20 counties, which is virtually half the Republic of Kenya. If you allow me, we are discussing the Report of Baringo, Busia, Elgeyo Marakwet, Embu, Kajiado, Kericho, Kilifi, Kirinyaga, Kisii, Kwale, Lamu, Makueni, Marsabit, Meru, Nakuru, Narok, Nyamira, Uasin Gishu, Vihiga and West Pokot Counties. If everybody else would be consulting in loud tones and would be unruly, then the Senators for those 20 counties ought to provide maximum attention to the sentiments of Sen. Halake. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to hail your ruling. Listening to you, I am reminded of two great men who have lived in our lifetime. One is the Speaker of the House of Commons; Hon. John Bercow, and the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Allan Greenspan. In terms of the courage and the fire in your belly to defend the space and the constitutional mandate of the Senate reminds me of the robustness with which Mr. John Bercow has defended the space of Parliament in the United Kingdom. In terms of jurisprudence and the richness and depth with ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you delivered a very detailed ruling when we were discussing the Solai Tragedy Report. Just like in the recent case, a Senator who was within his constitutional right brought in the issue of sub judice before the Solai Tragedy Report was tabled. I still remember your ruling because it was detailed and lengthy. I felt that it was a ruling that ought to have been shared with the county assemblies. Standing Order 43 allows messages to the county assemblies. That dealt with the issue of subjudice . I do not think that anyone should contest that ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: The matter that we have been discussing in the last one or two days has been on whether the courts can injunct Parliament. I agree with your ruling that the courts cannot injunct Parliament. The County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) was meant to receive the Inspector-General of Police whom we had given orders to arrest the Governor for Machakos County. However, the Inspector-General wrote back to us saying that the Governor had secured a court order quashing the arrest order that had been issued by Parliament. That is an issue that we need to address. If Parliament within ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Inspector-General of Police is still required to produce the Governor of Machakos County before the Senate. view
