• 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: Committee. Under Article 182(1)(d), that conviction to a term exceeding 12 months, what happens if a governor is convicted to a term of 10 months, and the governor then determines that while he is Kamiti, he is still able to continue exercising or discharging his duties? view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Are you going to forcibly remove him? That is why, upon reflection--- view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Indeed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Therefore, it will fall on the governor himself to make a determination that his 10-month jail term is going to prohibit him from executing his duty. In the case of absence, there has to be an agreement between the governor and the deputy that, indeed, I will be absent. He cannot be directed by other quarters or by the court. The court can only direct a vacancy rather than an absence. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Samburu and Kiambu cases, the courts have not declared a vacancy.

Arising from the issue of President Garfield and, later on, there was an American President who died. In 1804, there ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: The legislators at that time were asking themselves: “if the Vice President assumed office because of the inability of the President, should the Vice President be called the President, or should he be called the Vice President exercising the powers and duties of a President?” That is a question that we should also ask ourselves. In the case of Kiambu, would the deputy governor go around calling himself the Governor or would he call himself the deputy governor exercising the powers of the Governor? view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you are elected to be deputy governor and then in the absence you act as governor, I do not have the answer. I do not know whether you should call yourself a governor or acting governor, yet the title and mandate that the people gave you was deputy governor. As you have rightly pointed out, this is an interesting matter that we cannot just debate in one afternoon or two hours and render an opinion on. I welcome your assurance that further thought will be given to this matter so that we are able to ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: As I said earlier, in my county, my governor has had an illness which, because he has admitted it in public, I think I can talk about it now. He has not hidden it. Recently, view
