• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the Sen. Faki Statement? view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Faki made an intervention and then the Chair, rightly so, allowed the Chairperson of the Committee to respond. His response elicited my intervention because when Sen. Faki brought the Statement, we actually literally brought it together--- view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Okay, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am on the matter. My final Statement on this matter is that yes, the Committee may have decided to do what they are doing, but there is a way the Committee can summon the Cabinet Secretary, FKF Chairperson and any other person involved, including but not limited to the Attorney-General. The FKF, even as they are clouded with questionable integrity, they are busy doctoring and manipulating elections of FKF and locking out clubs in many parts of the country to perpetuate themselves. I am telling them to stop the elections for a period of ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As the father of the Committee system in this Parliament, I feel very proud when I hear Committees giving a treatise of what they have been doing and what they plan to do. Sen. Cherargei, in his youthful state, has acquitted himself very well in steering this Committee and achieving a few miles, including but not limited to leading our House to court to enforce our rights. I do remember him chairing the Committee to prepare the pleadings. Even when some Members were engaging a reverse gear, we were able to herd them into ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Even if we do not preside over budget proceedings of the country, this Committee must be on the frontline of speaking for the Judiciary. This is because in the absence of an independent and strong Judiciary, there is no country left. When the State is in conflict with its citizens, and when citizens are in conflict with each other, the refuge we go to is the Judiciary. We may not like the decisions they make, but they are there to arbitrate and resolve our disputes. An independent Judiciary is the cornerstone of a functioning democracy. That is why at the ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: They have litigated with the family, the person who sold the land died, and it is the sons and the grandsons of the person who sold the land. I salute the Cabinet Secretary of Lands and Physical Planning, who comes from the same county. She visited the land, addressed the dispute and gave a way forward that was very reasonable. We shall either buy another piece of land for the family that originally owned this land or buy the people who bought the land another piece of land to resettle them. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Was it a Statement? I was mentioning it in passing. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that matter is very painful to everybody. The leadership in Nandi, right from the Governor, has spoken against that brutish behavior, and I salute them for that. Let me end by encouraging the Committee to remain seized of what they must do to give credit to this House by prudent and positive work that will help this House hold its own in the midst of this helter skelter that we see every day. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I had just started speaking in support of this Bill when the House rose. I cited the case from Nandi as one of the reasons as to why we need alternative dispute resolutions. 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
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: It is an indictment on all of us for a case to stay in court for 40 years to a point where the grandchildren of the people who were litigating to be the ones now asking to be enjoined in the case. We have a similar case in Kitale of a farm called Mengo Farm which has been in court for close to 30 years. Somebody now wants to evict families that are almost second to third generation. This Bill will help in a way to reduce the backlog in our courts. In as much as going to court is ... view
