• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not reopen it. For the avoidance of doubt, there is a 411 headline already screaming that the Senate has suspended impeachment proceedings for Governor Samboja for up to 30 days to allow determination of High Court case. There is no such order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: I think that it is better that the Chair makes it abundantly clear that no proceedings have been suspended and the proceedings of the Committee will proceed forthwith as directed by the Speaker. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Yes. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to colleagues debating your three second part of the ruling, it has given me tremendous joy and a confirmation that this is, indeed, a House of reason, maturity and where Members do not flag the Speaker’s The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: attention to stand up and say: ‘I agree,’ and sit down, like we see in other jurisdictions within our neighborhood. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Those of us who have had a longer stay in Parliament know that this House has demonstrated the robust debates we see in the House of Commons and the Indian Parliament, whose proceedings we get online. Members debate maturely and sensibly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have been on the frontline as the first and last line of defence of the right of every Member to debate in this House. I feel very proud because I have a contribution in your formative years in making you who you are in the legal fraternity. I stand very proud that part of ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, picking on Sen. Ndwiga, I have been with him in public life from 1993; an impeccable person. The Bible talks of throwing the first stone against a person. Against Sen. Ndwiga, nobody can throw any stone, leave alone the first one. I have no doubt that he will sit on this matter quasi judicially and give the people of Taita/Taveta the fairness they deserve. If their governor is not good, so be it. If he has been frivolously framed and impeached, so be it. That is what fairness is all about. Finally, the dynamism of life ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: The dynamism of society is such that technology rules. I remember in the old days, you and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. can bear witness, you could never submit an email or a telegraph in court as evidence. Today, you file your proceedings in court through electronic medium. That is the way to go. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you, and may God give you more abundant wisdom to guide this House. 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
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you made the Communication, it came as a tremendous relief to me. This is because when this matter was passed in the National Assembly, I took an opportunity to call the Majority Leader and ask him if he had heard what I was hearing, and if things were going to be different. He appeared to assure me, although I was skeptical about it, that it was going to end up here. The former President Hon. Mwai Kibaki resisted temptations to recklessly drive the country into heavy public debt, and he left a very sound economy. ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Constitution - although we do not want to go into a lot of merits - Article 201 is so clear. Article 201(c) (d) and (e) states as follows:- “(c) the burdens and benefits of the use of resources and public borrowing shall be shared equitably between present and future generations; (d) public money shall be used in a prudent and responsible way; and, (e) financial management shall be responsible and fiscal reporting shall be clear.” The borrowing that we do is not for the Government of the day; it is for today and the future generations. Debt and the burden ... view
