• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: That is not the way business is conducted in this House. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am happy that Sen. Cheruiyot understands. I strongly support this Petition. I know each of the five petitioners whose names have been read by Sen. (Dr.) Mbito. They are big farmers, seed multipliers and are very committed to farming. Kenya is classified as an agricultural country. An agricultural country where continued policies say everything, but do not support the farmer. However, the farmer in this country is on his/her own. When we talk of subsidies and you go to the countryside - hon. Senators can bear me witness on this - you find the ... view

• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I feel very worried sometimes when I see a holder of an office like the Chief Justice taking this nihilist approach to issues. The President should be advised that before he considers the advice he has been given, he must seek the highest legal advice from other quarters because the Chief Justice has acted in a manner that is not reasonable. First, the advice of the Chief Justice must have been born out of the process contemplated under Article 261(6) that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., talked about. There is no reference to it at all. ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: When the President will be looking at this, he must consider the following; that under the same Constitution, Article 27(3), there is an outlaw of discrimination. People elect who they want. Secondly, once people are elected to Parliament, you cannot walk in to this Chamber and condition the Senator for Makueni to vote in a particular manner. Every Member has a right to vote. That is in parts 4 and 5 of Chapter 8 of the Constitution. In this House, Members vote according to their conscience and according to the issues before the House. Nobody can say go and vote ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I never called anybody an activist. I said do not take an activist approach. Those are two different things. In fact, my credentials and my party are very clear. My county of Bungoma has the record of the highest elected women, courtesy of me. Out of 45 wards, I have 13 elected women, only two (2) shy of the two thirds majority because I gave them affirmative action and supported them. There is a young girl who left university and went on to defeat 16 men. She is a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) because the ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: We support our women folk. We want you to be leaders. I want a woman president if she can make it. However, find a better route than going through this nihilist approach by Chief Justice David Maraga. view
