• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the distinguished Senator for Nyeri who has done a very good job for this Committee to tell this House that the Committee can recommend impeachment by feeling that continuing to be in office of the Deputy Governor will not help Machakos County? That is a feeling. We are dealing with facts and evidence and not feelings. view

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Kericho County has raised a very important issue. For a Motion or Bill affecting counties to go through, those that do not require what I ordinarily call a “noisy vote”, “Ayes” or “Nays”, where we require a division vote, for it to go through, we must meet the threshold of 24 voting for it. But for you to go to a vote, you require the quorum of 15. If, for example, if we go to a vote, like I know we are going, all you require to have are 15 delegations in this ... view

You can find this in one of ... view

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge you to go back to the express provisions of the Standing Orders. They are more powerful and carry more legal potency than our traditions, usage and precedents and take the House to a vote. I have represented many cases in court challenging validity of parliamentary votes on the basis of only one thing; quorum. You can challenge anything else, including the constitutionality of the law, if it has been passed. The question is: Did the House have quorum at the time they voted? Yes, we have quorum. Yes, we can vote. Yes, we ... view
