• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally I just wanted to point out something as I sit down. That because of the nature of the impeachment process which is quasi- judicial, view
• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: political, I think it is important for us to look at precedent as far as the impeachment processes are concerned and they are there in the Report including the dismissal of the Oklahoma Governor who after being cleared of many charges, he was dismissed for general incompetence. That is enough for us to do what we did. If the Committee were to say that there was general incompetence on this individual, it would have been enough. Therefore, even as we try to restrict ourselves to issues of law etcetera, let us remember that the Committee in its wisdom can recommend ... view

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Kagwe: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I normally understand Sen. Wetangula, but this one time, I do not know whether he heard me wrong. You cannot raise an issue of objection by imagining, you cannot rise on a point of order by imagining. I did not talk about feelings.

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: In fact, I was making an appeal but having said that, I have been to school and I have two eyes and two ears.

We can try and bury our heads in the sand like the proverbial ostrich but when you come out, the fire will still be there.

The Committee did what it was charged to do by this House and made the recommendations it was supposed to make. The House has made a decision and clearly they have made a decision that was contrary to that of the Committee, but the Committee must clearly, as other Senators, whether they voted “Yes” or “No”, respect the decision of the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in a night of political long knives like tonight, we will experience many ... view
