• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, on behalf of myself, Ford-Kenya Party and One Kenya Alliance, I vote yes. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I congratulate this House in totality for the mature debate and vote that we have registered this afternoon. In the history of this House, no Bill has ever been debated as vigorously, extensively and deeply as the Bill that we have passed this afternoon. Every single Member desired to speak to the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. The Members who did not speak to this Bill are probably less than 10. All the Members who spoke to the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 were constructive and even those who did not support the Bill like ... view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Sen. Omanga is also gesturing me to acknowledge her contributions. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Sen. Omanga made very positive contributions to the debate on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. After the passing of the Bill in this House, we shall no longer have those who opposed or those who supported. This is a Bill that has been passed by the Senate; we carry everybody on board. We may not have gotten everything that we wanted, but the Constitution is a living document. It is dynamic in its own nature so there will always be another time to bring on board what was left behind or correct what we think was excessive this ... view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: I would like to encourage my colleagues; Sen. Cherargei, Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. Murkomen and every other Senator who was opposed to the Bill that as we go out to the referendum, let us move as one. Let us unite the country and be each other’s keeper. That is the only way Kenya will move forward. For those who gloat in marginalizing others, when they realize that even those they are marginalizing are united with everybody, we will reform each other. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the great people of Bungoma; having been a signatory to this process at each stage; on behalf of the people of Kenya and ‘One Kenya Alliance,’ I vote ‘Yes.’ view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. If you make your bed, you must lie on it. The Senate Majority Leader stood when you called the Order. He stepped forward in compliance and started speaking in Kiswahili. Under our Standing Orders, he should just speak in Kiswahili to the end. He cannot make excuses in Kiswahili and then suddenly switch to English. That is offensive to our Standing Orders. Madam Deputy Speaker, we will only be able to perfect our Swahili speaking in this House by practice. In fact, I am awaiting to speak to this Motion in Kiswahili. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Standing Order No. 75 gives us two avenues to deal with this matter. That is, a Special Committee by resolution of the House or a House sitting as plenary. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: As is set out Standing Orders, none of the processes is superior to the other. There are all avenues and highways to justice. This House is now faced with the situation where the Senate Business Committee (SBC) has not been neat on what it has done. Under Standing Order No.75 (1)(b), the Senate may by resolution appoint a special committee. Does it mean that in dealing with Motion without names, once the House passes that we go to Committee, will we bring another Motion with names for approval? This makes it unnecessarily tedious for the House. This is because in ... view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we started the first impeachment of Sen. Wambora, I was leading the side behind me. The Committee process was popular. Former Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale who chaired the first impeachment Committee did a fairly good job at that time. Sen. Murkomem was the Vice Chairperson of the Committee. When they finished and brought the report, there were no rumours, innuendos or aspersions. Everybody accepted the outcome of the report of the Committee as is, where was. Then came other situations and the House started to hear strange stories about our own conduct. For example, in the case ... view
