• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: I support the Petition. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I presume Sen. Farhiya is addressing Senators in this House. There are no “people” in this House. We only have Senators in this House. Is she in order to make reference to distinguished Senators as “people”? view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I support the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Migori County. In addition to what he has asked, the Committee should also bring to this House the outcome of the taskforce that was set up by the President to look into the woes of the sugar industry that was co-chaired by the Governor of Kakamega County and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Agriculture. Equally important, and Sen.(Prof.) Ongeri can bear me out on this, in 2012, the Cabinet of former President Kibaki approved and wrote off all outstanding public debts to sugar factories in this ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I would want to encourage Sen. Farhiya, whom I have a lot of regard for, not to be too sensitive. The Senator for Nandi never referred to Sen. Murkomen as the Senate Majority Leader. He said ‘my majority leader.’ His majority leader is not necessarily the Senate Majority Leader and, therefore, it is not an issue here. He is his majority leader, probably, in his village or in his caucus or wherever. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a very important matter. A title deed in any jurisdiction is sacrosanct. Nobody can wake up and say, ‘this title deed is to be done away with.’ There was a time a Cabinet Secretary made a careless statement that title deeds were mere pieces of paper, which brought a lot of problems in this country. If, indeed, the Cabinet Secretary says that the land belongs to the Forest Department, his starting point should be: At what time was it alienated, who was in charge of the forest department and how was it alienated ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. While I appreciate your direction, I think it will absolutely imperative that this House directs the Clerk to write to the Cabinet Secretary and caution him against any precipitate action against these estates, awaiting his possible appearance before the House. If we do not do that, there is a risk of green bull-dozers moving in and destroying people’s property like we have seen done elsewhere. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: So, the Cabinet Secretary should be informed that this House takes a very dim view of what he is doing and he must stop it, pending his appearance before a committee of this House. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam, Temporary Speaker, it is alright. In my many years in Parliament, I have not seen or heard of a situation where an intended Mover of a Motion casually stands up and says that ‘I defer the Motion’ without giving any explanation then goes ahead to sit down. In fact, the power to defer any Motion does not lie with the Member who intends to move it. The Senate Minority Leader has said, and I do agree with him, that this is a constitutional body that we are dealing with. We have taken oath to defend and uphold the same ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before you use your discretion to give direction, is it true that Members of this House, who are obligated to be in this House, anyway, have only come for the Motion of impeachment? We have a duty as Senators to be in this House. Subject to availability of sitting space, we are obligated to be here. It cannot be true that there are Members who have just come here for the Motion of impeachment. If there are, let them stand up and be counted and we know who they are. view
