• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, this again is a terrible indictment of this House. One can understand the House where the process was engulfed with fist fights and all manner of quarrels. This is a House of scrutiny, revision and record. When our children in future will read that we sat in this House and passed a law that purported to amend a Section of the law that has been repealed, what will people think of us? What Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., has brought is just simple and sensible. This House itself passed a law that separated election offences from other election ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: I salute the gallant Senator of Makueni for continuing to bring to the attention of this House that we must salvage our image. We must live to what the public has been saying. After the last sitting, I walked into a club in Karen and a group of senior citizens, including former Permanent Secretaries, former Ministers from your community stood up and saluted me and said we used to underestimate and misunderstand the role of the Senate. Now, we appreciate why the Senate is there and must be there. These are not people in my political formation, they are your ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, if there is a Clause or section that must be deleted, it is this Clause 32. This Senate has been on the warpath demanding recognition, respect and to have everything to do with the protection of counties. Here is one situation where this Senate is behaving like a former Russian president who reformed himself out of office. That president was called Mikhail Gorbachev. Mr. Chairman, Sir, this Senate should not pass a law where the National Assembly is taking away our responsibility under Article 96 of the Constitution as protectors of counties. We have even spent public ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I respect colleagues in this House. There are Members who have sat here all through like Sen. (Dr.) G.G. Kariuki here but they are not complaining. There are colleagues who have been walking up and down everywhere and they have even gone out to have supper. We are sitting here struggling to give the country a good law yet somebody walks in and says that you give us one minute. What can you say on an amendment in one minute? That is ridiculous to the extreme. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, I hope that nobody in his right frame of mind will oppose this because it is simple, clear and straightforward. You cannot have a provision that says, “provide for the progressive progression of Kenyans living abroad prisoner.” It does not make sense. The distinguished Senator for Makueni is trying to salvage the image of this Senate so as to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, once again I salute Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, and appeal to the House the same way Sen. Wako said that we are presiding over our own destruction. Do you know that by this amendment you are taking all the powers relating to making regulations to do with elections including yours to the National Assembly and you will have no say? Bure! They will determine everything about elections and you will then be just consumers of that product; the programs and everything about election rules. We are ousting ourselves and washing our hands like Pontius Pilate who ... view

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: We are not going to run this House like a village baraza . I cannot say point of order ten times and you are just saying you are going to direct. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: This kind of behavior is not right. If you have no mind of fairness, you have no business sitting on the Chair. view
