• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: In 1997, when the country was divided because of tension in the politics, former President Moi acceded to the Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG) which some of us sat in and brought down The Chief’s Authority Act, liberalized the electoral system and brought normalcy to the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenyans must thank former President Moi because in 1992, he supported a different candidate in the person of President Uhuru Kenyatta while we supported the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) and we won the elections. With the strong-man syndrome in Africa that time, former President Moi could have refused to hand over ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 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
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: shown how to run the country. He never answered him; he kept off the politics of the country and left it to remain peaceful. Mr. Speaker, Sir, here lies a man that did so much for this country. Of course, there are the dark sides, as Sen. Orengo has said, which were inevitable at the time because of the situation of our politics. We shall remember the late Mzee Moi as a man who brought peace to this region, for example, in Uganda, Somalia, Ethiopia and Congo. He went beyond this and sent Kenyan troops to Namibia, Sierra Leone, Ivory ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Governor and his lawyers find themselves in a difficult situation because ordinarily, for those of us who go to court, the sequencing of cases is not what they find themselves in. We have put them in a box where they are now supposed to navigate between a preliminary objection post-hearing and the hearing itself as per your own ruling. Whatever the jumbled situation we may find ourselves in, I think this House has the capacity to sift the wheat from the chaff at the end of the day and determine fairly what should be done. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: So, let them argue their case in the manner they best know; within the circumstances they find themselves in. At some point, I believe they will call their client to testify depending on what they want to do. I am sure this House and these distinguished Senators know how to skin the cat; whether to start with the tail, ears, the head, the back or whichever part. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief. As we retreat to make our decision, we must bear in mind and consider whether the distinguished governor was given a fair hearing at the County Assembly. That is a point to ponder. If that was the case, then remember the words of Kethi Kilonzo, that if the process is illegitimate, then the outcome cannot be legitimate. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Office of the Senate, in cases such as these, must also be helpful to the public. When a governor and his team come to file 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
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: documents, the legal team of the Senate should guide them on what documents to put in and how to file their documents for better consideration by the House. Thirdly, the impeachment process is very exciting and emotive for all of us; we have gone through eight of them here. Most of them have ended up being what we know, especially those that we impeached, like Gov. Wambora, who we impeached twice. Fourthly, I believe that even as the issues are as clear as we are saying, Gov. Waititu did not enjoy the benefit of a fair hearing by excluding his ... view
• 28 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my two distinguished learned friends are absolutely right. The learned friend representing the Governor should elect. He has filed a preliminary objection which, if he succeeds, the proceedings will end. Therefore, the issue of adducing evidence out of time will not arise. He should choose whether to prosecute this application that is on record; that will have far-reaching consequences on the proceedings depending on what we rule. Thereafter, he can seek leave to bring additional evidence. Otherwise, it can be construed that in seeking to bring additional evidence, he is abandoning the objection that is on record; ... view
