• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Cabinet meetings because he could not sack him. That is exactly the reason why governors are concerned with regard to their deputies and vice versa; the same applies to the President and his Deputy. In any situation where the governor is in office and there is a deputy governor pretending to be a governor, that is totally untenable. Equally and more important is that the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and of the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and those of us who have practiced at the criminal Bar where Sen. Orengo is very active, we encourage ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I congratulate the Chairman of my Committee for bringing the report concerning the outcome of the Petition by ex- Kenya Air Force personnel. I sat in the proceedings of this Petition and listened to these Kenyans in distress. The Cabinet Secretary appeared before the Committee with very weak, flimsy and legally untenable arguments alleging that cases were on-going. On casual perusal, there were no on-going cases. These people had gone to court, got judgment and for more than 20 years they have not been able to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Let it go ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Fourteen days is for criminal while in civil cases it is 28. You--- view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Just before that, I acknowledge my distinguished colleagues Sen. Nyamunga and Sen. Faki as lawyers in this House, not to mention the Clerk of the Senate. I should not be selective. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, distinguished colleague. As I finish, I decry the lack of the Committee on Implementation in this House. We have just passed a verdict that these people be paid their money. This House abolished the Committee on Implementation. It is now going to be left to them to hop from office to office in desperation. They probably will be knocking at Sen. Haji’s office, my office and your office because we do not have a Committee that wananchi can go to, to get the fruits of the labour of this House. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I plead with this House that as we prepare to go for recess, we must think seriously about returning the Committee on Implementation where resolutions of this House can go and get undivided attention for people who come to this House to get justice. Finally, allow me to also welcome the gentleman from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA). I served there for a long time in the International Executive Committee. I was and feel very happy that through my guidance, effort and industry, the CPA that started in 1911 was only able to get the first African ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in supporting the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Taita-Taveta because it points to a complex problem that we have. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: When the Late John Michuki was the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources, we visited Perth which is in Australia. We found that Western Australia, which is the Mining Capital of the Far East, is a province richer than the rest of Australia. In this country, Taita-Taveta, Migori, Narok, Turkana and Kwale would probably be the richest counties that could be giving some money to the centre, instead of expecting money from the centre. 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
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: However, because of weak legislative and regulatory framework that we have, the people of Kwale County have remained the same, despite the billions of shillings got from the mineral in Kwale. Our brothers in Turkana County are fighting for jobs in the oil industry instead of a share of the wealth from the oil. In Migori, a lot of mining goes on yet the county has to wait for money from Nairobi. The same happens to Kwale County. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Zani on mining and sharing of resources that we passed here was eventually captured and turned into something else. The Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources should take up this matter and study in depth what is ailing the mining industry. I agree with Sen. Cheruiyot that we need legislation. view
