• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a further point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You may be aware, if not take judicial notice, that this matter went to the court, which declared parts of the census annulity. It even ordered a repeat that was never done. We do not want this House to rubberstamp public fraud. We have a circle of census that is coming in another three years. I have looked at the census document that has been tabled and remember very well the former Minister for Planning and National Development saying: “We have finished the census; now we are smoothening the figures.” That ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an opportunity for you, as the Speaker of this House, to guide the country. That document contains disputed and disputable figures. The matter has gone to court and the court of first instance, in fact, ordered for a repeat of census in various places, which was never done. The Court of Appeal has said that, that census was inaccurate in every material particular. It is the document that we are purporting to use as if it is factual. You as the Speaker of the Senate that protects the interests of counties and their governments – ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for being magnanimous to me, the House and the country by allowing me to make a statement under Standing Order No.45(2)(a) on a matter of county issue and an issue of general topical concern. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am making a statement in relation to the extra-judicial killings of a young advocate and colleague, Mr. Willie Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and the taxi driver who was driving them, Mr. Joseph Muiruri. The facts emerging about the death of those people are chilling, to say the least. These are Kenyans who, according to ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion. This is a bipartisan Motion. We have come a long way to reach where we are now. I start by sending a message of condolence to the innocent members of the public who have lost their lives on the journey to reach where we are. I also wish those who are recovering in hospitals a quick recovery. This Motion is a culmination of a process long, winding, protracted violent and diplomatic. I thank the interlocutors, the religious groups led by Bishop Korir of Eldoret together with Bishop Rotich of the ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not intend to hurt any body’s feeling. Where I come from, we have a common saying that a dog that is a thief, any time you raise a stick, it is the first to bark pwee pwee pwee even when you are not aiming at it. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe the distinguished Senator for Nandi just wants to colour the debate. I welcome him. Debate must not be boring. It must have some light moments, a few irrelevancies and so on. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I salute Sen. Orengo and Sen. Murungi, distinguished colleagues in this House whom we all respect. It is little wonder that they have been chosen by both coalitions to co-chair this important Committee. We have also met the threshold that in Joint Committee of both Houses, each House must produce an equal number. We have seven members each. I have absolutely no doubt that the two will steer this Committee efficiently, effectively and deliver the desired results. I do not want to speak for long. We want to pass this Motion and set the team to ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I understand both languages. I understand a lot of Luhya and a little French, Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Luo and Kuria. I am sorry if I have offended anybody but when you say somebody has a bloated image, it is not offensive. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me move away from that and end by the following: Out of this Committee, we want to have an Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) that will enjoy the full confidence of Kenyans from all walks of life. Whether a Kenyan is contesting for a Member of County Assembly (MCA), Member of Parliament (National Assembly or Senate) or presidential seat, he needs to enjoy the process by having an IEBC that enjoys that candidate’s confidence; an IEBC like the one in Ghana, where President John Dramani Mahama, defeated my friend Nana Akufo Ado. In fact, ... view
