• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my distinguished nephew must know that we know what he is saying; defending the constituencies given to Nairobi. He is taking a long cut. You can actually take a short cut and say you support what is given to Nairobi City County and let others debate these issues. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to beseech the Chair that this is the ‘Bible’ that guides debate in this House. It is grossly wrong for the Senate Majority Whip, whatever the issue, to seek the Floor and purport to answer and challenge views of view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: a Member who spoke long time ago. In between, we have heard about three other speakers. The reason he says is because he walked in and overheard him saying something. These Standing Orders are very clear. You challenge a Member who is on the Floor, when he is on the Floor on an issue that you do not agree with or that is offensive to the Standing Orders, the law or the Constitution. There is no point of correction in these Standing Orders or point of straightening the record as the distinguished Senator for Kiambu says. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join the distinguished Senators for Vihiga, Meru and Kericho on what they have said. I walked in with the Co-Chair of the Committee, the Senator for Nyamira County, and he was carrying a big document. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: In fact, he was suffering under the weight of the document. That is the document that will guide us in this debate. We must appreciate that our primary role of legislation on a part that touches on the Constitution is the most important role that a House can play. We want to do the right thing. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for me as a lawyer to read that document that Sen. Omogeni tabled, I will require, probably two or three hours. I can expect my colleagues who are educated in other disciplines to take a little more. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge that we have hard copies of the documents circulated to hon. Members. If you look at the documents even the one Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is holding, they are heavily underlined with highlighters and with all manner of documents attached. We are told that the documents have been placed on our iPads. However, we cannot underline them on the iPads. You need to highlight what you want to use to strengthen your arguments in debate. I suggest that hard copies be circulated to all hon. Members immediately and that you give us at ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the statement that Sen. Orengo made on this Floor. It cannot have been the wisdom and intention of the framers of this Constitution that we intended to make Parliament either a conveyor belt or a rubber stamp. It cannot be. We should unset ourselves in our thinking, bisect and dissect this document, so that we give the people of Kenya something that is important and helps this country move forward. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: I have casually looked at the report from the Director of the National Bureau of Statistics. It is very telling in a departure from what we are looking at. We, as a House, need to consider the national mood as much as we want to help the country. We must also remember that the foundation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the philosophy therein was to right the wrongs of our history and to create absolute equity in the running and management of the affairs of this country; that benefits everybody regardless, from the El Molo, to me, the ... view
