• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was an inconsistency between the verbal interpretation and whatever we saw written on the screen, particularly within that clip that relates to bribe of the Senate. The interpreter did not mention bribe, but the transcript on the screen mentioned bribe. Could that be made clear? view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: In the first instance, the translator used the word to “corrupt” the Senate. In the second instance, he used the word to “bribe” the Senate. Perhaps, I will leave it to the Senators to confirm whether those are synonyms. view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Linda Gakii Kiome depones that there was forgery in the affidavit that was circulated yesterday. I have looked at the ruling of Justice Nzioka in Civil Suit No. 551 of 2011, where she ruled that: “For a signature to be deemed and certified as forged, a document examiner's report must be produced.” I would like to ask the Governor, in the case of allegations of forgery, who bears the burden of proof? Number two, many human resources issues have been brought up. Could the governor tell this Senate what measures she has undertaken since she took office? ... view
• 19 Aug 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just like you have struggled to get visibility on that affidavit, I am looking at the soft copies here, and I cannot find it. It is such a material submission that it would make sense for us to proceed until and unless we can confirm that we have it. view
• 19 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it would be academic for us to proceed in the manner that has been suggested by the counsel for the County Assembly. We cannot listen to the submissions and entertain the interrogation if we do not have visibility of the documents or records. We are the judges in this matter. We are not the spectators. I know there is a past impeachment proceeding where we found ourselves in such a situation where a witness had been summoned and the documents had not been availed to Members of the Senate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard ... view
• 19 Aug 2024 in Senate: The Speaker sitting where you are sitting made a ruling that we could proceed with the next witness, and if we do not have the next witness, then the House could consider listening to the testimony of the witness tomorrow in the morning, when all Members are able to be seized of the records or the substance that he wants to use to convince the Senate. Therefore, let us not do an academic exercise. view
• 19 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to be very direct and go to the exhibit that was submitted by the County Assembly. On page 353 of volume two, you took us there to demonstratethat the wage bill grew by Kshs500 million from Kshs4.4 billion to Kshs4.9 billion. Did the County Assembly approve the Kshs4.9 billion budget or was the Kshs500 million, excess expenditure over and above what the County Assembly approved? Number two; on page 375 of volume two, you have a schedule there showing the transfers that were made to the various entities. These entities include the ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee will reply on my behalf. view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Bill that has been sponsored by the Senate Majority Leader. In the last Parliament, I had the privilege of serving as the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. These matters came before my chair, and, indeed, we brought in a legislative proposal before this House. However, it was too close to the elections, about a month or two to the elections. At that point in time, the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC), which we want to rename as the Intergovernmental Relations Agency, wanted to be a commission. We ... view
