• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, normally during recess, when we call special sittings, we compensate the recess by extending the time of resumption. The Senate Majority Leader is here. Could we be advised whether the special sittings we have had last week and this week will be compensated by an extension of the recess pro rata to the time spent? view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is my Chairman of the Finance Committee in order to make very reckless insinuations? In law, we say: expressio unuis est exclusio alterius which my distinguished friend the Senator for Tharaka Nithi knows. It means to specify one is to exclude others. view

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: When he says that Mt. Kenya people work hard, he means that other Kenyans do not work hard. Is he in order to make such reckless insinuations against communities of this country in a matter where we have said repeatedly and he knows that the centrality of the 2010 Constitution and any amendment subsequent thereto is equity among the people of Kenya? It matters not who works harder and who does not because some work harder because circumstances and conditions for working harder are placed before them. Others are seen not to work hard because they are not accessing those ... view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. Remember the old adage that, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. When you hear the young Sen. Cherargei thundering and ranting, you know where that is coming from. This is one of the most critical Bills that have come to this House this term. To amend the Constitution of the Republic Kenya is not an ordinary legislation. It is a legislation that touches on the foundation of our legality and existence as a nation. In doing so, we have to be very careful. When we were pursuing the 2010 Constitution, ... view

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Certain things in this Bill should never have found their way there. I do not understand the reason as to why we are creating a Youth Commission. We have so many laws that govern our youth. Kenyans must learn to understand that youth is neither a disadvantage nor a disability. It is a transient state in human life. I came to Parliament as a youth. Sen. Cherargei is now a youth today, but he will soon abandon all his excitement and behave like a statesman because he will no longer be a youth. view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: We have overloaded this Bill with things that ought not to have been there. I went through all the submissions by the 47 counties and I did not find a request by any Kenyan for 70 additional constituencies. Here and there were a few people who felt disenfranchised and oppressed by their majority neighbors and they wanted their own constituencies. The Kurias and the people from Mount Elgon Region demanded for their own Counties and those from Kitui asked for their County to be divided. However, I did not see anywhere a request for creation of 70 constituencies. In creating ... view

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: When for example, the committee chaired by my distinguished learned junior, senior counsel, Sen. Omogeni says that the schedule to this Constitution on constituencies is unconstitutional and then tells us to pass it, what are we being told? It is unconstitutional but pass it! When they tell us that the provision on the Judicial Ombudsman is unconstitutional and then they leave it there. What are they telling us? Ordinarily, committees of Parliament, when they bisect and dissect a Bill, they bring a report to guide debate, but they also bring amendments to the Bill that will be consistent and in ... view
