• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the principle is this: There is no way a Member of the Azimio Coalition can be appointed by the other coalition. Even if that were the case, then you will have contradicted your earlier ruling by saying that the Kenya Kwanza side is the Majority. The principle in Article 191(f) talks of seven Senators that reflect the strength of parties in the House. The minute you have four out of seven Senators coming from Azimio, you are saying Azimio is the Majority. To cure this debate--- and I want to encourage the Leader of Majority; my good ... view

• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really urge that we go back, redraft this Motion and put names that are not controversial. I have no personal problems with Sen. Ali Roba. He is a fine gentleman but putting him on this list, means you are admitting that Azimio is the Majority in this House. Going by the principle in Article 191(f), if the Motion goes the way it goes, then this side is the Majority of the House. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also oppose this Motion. I want to quote the Speaker in Naivasha. You told us; “Things do not go wrong. Things start wrong.” We cannot start wrong this time round. We want to have a Senate that will assert itself. We want an SBC that will represent the interests of the Senate as an institution and not just political formations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is it that we are tussling over? The SBC is not just like any other Committee. If you look at other jurisdictions like the United States of America (USA), in the House ... view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Sen. Cheruiyot and the Senate Minority Leader should know that we have had moments like this where we have had stalemates and people do not understand why. Sen. Orengo and Sen. Murkomen, who were leaders back then, would call some time off and ask Senators to meet and agree on the matter for it not to be divisive. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say before that light goes off that I will oppose a situation where a former governor is sitting in Select Committees that are supposed to oversight matters in this House. The SBC is such a Committee because it provides directions to all Committees. I wish the leaders of both sides could agree so that we can come back here tomorrow and have a SBC that will stand for the institution called the Senate and not for political formations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I oppose and propose that Sen. Cheruiyot and Sen. Madzayo call some time ... view

• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: and someone will argue that it will take six months to bring back this Motion. What will happen to the Senate if we do not have a SBC and a Motion cannot be brought back--- view
• 8 Sep 2022 in Senate: On a point of Order, Mr. Clerk. view
• 8 Sep 2022 in Senate: Mr Clerk, you sitting in today as the Speaker of the House pending election of the Speaker, I rise on a point of order just before we get into the details of the order that you have called out on Election of Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Senate. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 4 that deals with the Election of Speaker. I want to also deal with it alongside Article 98 of the Constitution of Kenya that defines the constitution of this Senate. The Senate comprises of 47 elected Senators plus a number that shall be nominated ... view
