• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rarely do this but being the only Whip in the House, I want to express my concern. It has been a big challenge to ask Senators not to leave. I get the impression that if we continue longer than usual, we will not have quorum to pass this and the effort made for the past 14 days by the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget will go to waste. Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, I propose, under Standing Order No. 106, that you limit debate on the BPS in as much as ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: .: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the Calendar of events and reiterate the comments by the Mover, Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud, that Senators and Committees should note the Legislative Summit in Nakuru County, the Devolution Conference in Makueni County and the Senate Mashinani in September, so that they can plan accordingly. I, therefore, second the Motion. view

• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is just for orderliness, because you have approved a Motion by the Senate Majority Leader on issues raised by Sen. Sakaja on Nairobi City County. I am just wondering whether for 30 minutes, Sen. Sakaja will take the Floor and then Sen. Murkomen will do another at 3.30 p.m. I thought you would guide us, on that so that we do not repeat ourselves. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I must confess that it is the first time for a long time – and it is good to be alive at this time – to hear that there is a certificate that exists in Kenya that requires a lady to show whether she is a virgin or not. It is truly a good time to be alive. If that is a tradition, that tradition is unconstitutional by virtue of the 2010 Constitution. That requirement is a violation of the right to privacy under this Constitution, and it should be declared as such. I am not even ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to give my views about this proposal. I read this Gazette Notice last night. Sen. Orengo has said it very clearly that the illegalities will not help. I am satisfied from reading this, that when you exercise discretion in a manner that it has been exercised, it is possible for a governor, somewhere in the rural areas, to assign his functions to the national Government whimsically. It is such discretion that I think we, as the Senate – because our work is to protect counties – should speak about, and not ... view

• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we had this crisis in Makueni and the President made a political decision. At that time, I thought that the report should be brought so that we do not get counties entangled with this sort of things. That did not come. I have attempted to amend the law so that it is done when the reports come, but that has not happened. This is a not a deed of transfer; I call it a deed of surrender. The governor has surrendered his work and should go home. He should be impeached. It is a fact. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Sen. Sakaja, do not sugarcoat issues. His work is over and done. For the next 24 months he will be holding brief for the next governor. However, the next governor will have a similar challenge. He is going to--- view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support. view
