• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this has brought about some feelings that the Senate is overstepping its mandate. I have seen in some cases where some county assemblies have argued that a county assembly and the national Parliament are at the same level in terms of legislative oversight and representation and all the functions that are granted to us in the Constitution.

In as much as we have got our respective powers, there is no institution that is above the law nor beyond oversight. That is why even ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I also wish to further propose: THAT Clause 41 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause 1 by inserting the words, “including matters touching on displacement of persons and compensation for loss suffered” immediately after the words “considers necessary” in paragraph F. Mr. Chairman, Sir, it is an amendment that I have been persuaded by Sen. Danson Mungatana, the Senator for Tana River, that would make the Bill neater and ensure that those functions and provisions under Clause 41 are expanded. There will be a further amendment to Clause 42, but then I wish to beg and ... view
