• 25 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I associate myself with what the distinguished Senator for Siaya said to the extent of amending whatever the content of the Bill is. It is not limited to the recommendations of the Committee. Allow me to pick up from where the distinguished Senator for Kericho has left. Over the weekend or last week, I received a frantic phone call from members of staff of the Senate who were on their way to South Africa with their colleagues from the National Assembly for training. Upon reaching the airport and checking in, when they reached the immigration as the ... view
• 25 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, assuming that there is a desire for Senators to be in this House to debate any matter, no law obligates every Senator to sit in the House. They may sit in the House and now that we even debate through different medium via Zoom and others. A Member sitting in a Committee in United Arabs Emirates (UAE) or the United States of America (USA) can participate in the proceedings of this House. We have had Members voting from Washington to Bills in this House. If the intention was to have quorum for the debate, why extend it ... view
• 25 Jan 2022 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Jan 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy that Sen. Orengo wants to put the matter in its proper perspective. It behoves upon you to investigate the matter and give this House a reasoned direction. The Senator for Kwale County was travelling out of the country with his family, but he was stopped and sent back home. The other incident that I was talking about involved a senior member of staff called Mr. Adika and a group he was travelling with. They were stopped from travelling, their luggage was offloaded from the cargo hold of the plane and they were sent away ... view
• 25 Jan 2022 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
• 25 Jan 2022 in Senate: Worse still, we have the case of the distinguished Senator for Kwale County. He was embarrassed together with his family. This is something that you need to inquire into and protect your Members. view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you in wishing all colleagues a happy new year. Allow me to make very brief comments on this issue before the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think you are a very lucky Speaker because there is no time you have ever wished to come to your Chair with a helmet. view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: It is because this is a House where we talk, debate, agree and disagree, but with dignity and respect that this House carries. Seeing what we saw in the “Lower House” as this Bill was being debated, it made some of us chill because there is no single Member that is legislating for himself, his party or region. We are legislating for the country and every Bill we pass must be one that makes this country a better place to do our politics and to do anything that we need to do within the law. As we start the process ... view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: I was appalled to see in the National Assembly, a Member of Parliament (MP) beckoning another to come closer to him and then physically very viciously assaulted him as if they were at war. In the scenes we saw, televisions were juxtaposing violent scenes in the Kenyan Parliament and violent scenes in notoriously violent parliaments of Korea, Italy and Somalia. It is a shame that we can reduce ourselves to that level. I salute the distinguished nominated Senator from Ruiru. I remember when one time I said something that offended him, he became very livid. Later, he followed me and ... view
• 11 Jan 2022 in Senate: This House must live to this level of dignity and give the country a law that it is waiting for. I congratulate every Senator for shedding off some of their ugly past and remain distinguished Senators of this House of Parliament. view
