• 6 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you allow me to inform the distinguished Senator, in fact, a court in Mombasa made a decision recently purporting to say that there is a contradiction between the Elections Act and the Constitution and that it should be taken to Parliament for legislation. The Supreme Court has said that Judge was very wrong because the Constitution is supreme and it stands. view
• 6 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is so refreshing listening to a transformed Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. I beg to second. This Motion is before this House to call upon distinguished Senators to discharge their constitutional duty. On previous occasions, this distinguished House and individual Senators have demonstrated very ably that they can rise to the occasion and discharge their duties with distinction, without fear, favour and prejudice. Today the country looks at this Senate, once again, not because the Governor is question is a habitual offender, but because they county assembly with which he works has found it necessary, prudent, legal and ... view
• 6 May 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have said over and over again that decorum in the House is very critical. Did you notice that while you were proposing the Question on your feet; that while the Senator for Baringo stood there still like a post as is required by the Standing Orders, other Senators were just walking up and down as if you were not on your feet? There was the distinguished Senator for Nairobi who is diminishing distinction in that order and the distinguished Senator for Embu and the distinguished Senator for Nyeri as well. They ... view

• 6 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet that, in fact, what is before us is totally different? The last time, we were dealing with the impeachment of a Governor and his Deputy. Now, we are dealing with only one individual. view

• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: I want to inform the distinguished Senator for West Pokot that the counties are just following the example set by the national Government. Look through the entire Cabinet and see the mismatch of professions and their dockets and you will understand why it has happened in West Pokot. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I intended to contribute yesterday, but I sat to listen instead. I will start by congratulating Sen. Murkomen for moving the Motion very ably and bringing out most of the ideas and issues. One very important issue that this Senate must be vigilant about is to make sure that we do not slip back from any issue. The Constitution provides that every devolved 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 ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Some stones have ears. I am sure you have heard about the crying stone of Kakamega which has some human instincts. When you talk about a deaf stone in relation to Jubilee, you know what I am talking about. I was talking about the issue of security. You will find that every county has a County Police Commissioner. The Chief Executive of the County is the Governor. That Commissioner operates completely independent of and parallel of the Governor. Even if there is an issue, the Governor is a bystander and an irrelevant character like anyone else. ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether he bought or rented them. However, he paraded them. These vehicles have been given to the police to perform a national function. I am sure he has not been allowed to chair the security committee and even to superintend over the enjoyment of those vehicles. I have seen this happening in Mombasa as well. We must ensure that we do not operate on panic buttons that the Jubilee Government is using in cordoning estates and carrying out night raids which are criminal in nature. They are swooping people, taking them to Kasarani ... view
