• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is truly self- serving from the distinguished Senator for Kericho. This is a clearly misguided petition because it is borne out of a narrow-minded thinking that language does not grow. If you look at the Kamusi ya Kiswahili ‘harambee’ means ‘ kuvuta pamoja’ or ‘pulling together.’ It may have come from India; all languages are now pedigree. ‘Safari’ is now in the English Dictionary, yet it is not an English word. If you are well schooled in Kiswahili like I am, you will find words like ‘ shule,’ which is a German word for school. ‘ ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for indulging me to request the following three short Statements. ARREST AND DEPORTATION OF MR. MIGUNA MIGUNA I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 46(2)(b), to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations concerning the raiding of Mr. Miguna Miguna’s home in Runda by the police; abducting and confining him in various police cells and later deporting him to Canada. In the response, the Chairperson should address the following;- 1. Give reasons as to why, on the night of 2nd February, 2018, Mr. Miguna Miguna’s Runda home ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No. 46(2)(b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations concerning the recent harassment of opposition leaders. In the response, the Chairperson should address the following:- 1. Whether he is aware that the Government has withdrawn both residential security and bodyguards attached to opposition leaders; revoked the leaders’ firearm licenses and confiscated official cars assigned to some of the leaders by the Parliamentary Service Commission. 2. Explain the reason as to why the Government has resorted to unjustifiable arrests of some opposition leaders citing ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: I agree with her. I can stop at the one on Mr. Miguna Miguna and the security of the opposition leaders then come back to the one of shutting down television stations. view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only limitation to this House is in relation to petitions. Nobody can bring a petition to this House relating to a matter that is active and pending before a court of law. In terms of the request on the whereabouts and harassment of Mr. Miguna Miguna – who has already been bundled out of the jurisdiction of our country, contrary to the provisions of Article 16 of the Constitution and other relevant laws – there is nothing in court that would limit this House from making an inquiry. In any event, what is active in court ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. So that we do not belabour under confusion, there is nothing sub judice in this matter. What was before the court for Miguna Miguna was an application for anticipatory bail; period! It is no longer within jurisdiction; there is no active matter before the court other than questions on the police as to why they did not produce Muguna Miguna when they were asked to produce him. There is nothing more than that. Therefore, I want the Chairman, who is a fairly good young man, not to engage in polemics that we ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my third request is a request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Information--- view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Sen. Fatuma, do you want me to give you time to finish your cross-talks? view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.46(2)(b), I rise to seek a Statement from the Committee on Education, Information, Communication and Technology regarding the Government decision to shut down three privately owned television stations for seven days and attempting to arrest three Nation Media Group (NTV) journalists. In the response, the Chairperson should address the following:- (1) Give reasons that led the Government decision to shut down the three privately owned television stations namely; NTV, Kenya Television Network (KTN) and Citizen Television for seven days from 30th January to 5th February, 2018. (2) Whether he is aware that the ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for avoidance of doubt, the distinguished “Senator lady” should know that in law, we have ‘arrest’ and ‘constructive arrest’. We have ‘imprisonment’ and ‘constructive imprisonment’ or ‘false imprisonment’. Given the fact that the police were picketing outside Nation Centre and these journalists could not leave their place of work and go home to their families, they were actually under constructive arrest. view
