• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: I have a Statement similar to this issue. Sen. Wambua and I, share this issue because the people of Kitui are suffering from it. There is somebody in national Government who has interpreted compulsory acquisition to mean taking by force. I mentioned this to Sen. Mwangi; that people living along the Kibwezi-Kitui Road which is under construction are watching the remains of their relatives being exhumed. They do not know what to do with the remains of their departed because they have no alternative piece of land. They have not been compensated, neither have they been relocated. They are forced ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of Sen. Malalah, this is a congratulatory message to Sen. Shiyonga. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.47 (1) to make a Statement of general topical concern to extend a congratulatory message to our colleague, Sen. Naomi Masitsa Shiyonga, for being awarded the 2019 Global Empowerment Award for Global Legislative Governance by the American Empowerment Institute in Houston, Texas. Sen. Shiyonga is a seasoned contributor in this august House on different issues affecting our Republic and deserves this award. At the grassroots level, she has done tremendous work towards empowerment of women, children and ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 47(1), to make a Statement on the untimely death of Mariam Kighenda and Amanda Mutheu on 29th September, 2019, at Likoni Ferry Crossing. On 29th September, 2019, a video of a car sinking into the ocean went viral. We later learnt that the said vehicle and its occupants were aboard the MV Harambee. The car and bodies of the occupants were later retrieved after hue and cry of Kenyans. To date, the Kenya Ferry Services (KFS) and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure have not issued any statement on the circumstances ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: During their burial in Kilome, Makueni County on 19th October, 2019, I received information that this incident was as a result of the sorry state of our five ferries operating on the Likoni channel; that is MV Kwale, MV Nyayo, MV Kilindini, MV Harambee and MV Likoni. I have it on record that the ramps commonly referred to as prows are not functioning and in the case of MV Kilindini, the prows are raising at less than 45 degrees. It is now clear that had the ramp of MV Harambee been functioning properly, the said car would not have slid ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mutheu and Kenya Ferry Services Limited is liable for compensation for the loss of their lives. The revocation of the Board of KFS incident is a cover-up of the incompetent and corrupt management of KFS. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, I make this Statement conscious of the fact that if no action is taken, there is real apprehension and risk of loss of lives of Kenyans who are using these ferries on a daily basis. This is an urgent matter of national concern that should be taken up immediately and investigations conducted through EACC on the conduct of the management of ... view

• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate you for that profound ruling. Sometimes when we congratulate you so many times that it might be taken for granted that we congratulate you at every point. You allowed debate in the case of Solai Dam Tragedy whereas objection was raised by one of the Senators but you found it not to have merit. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: The Senate and Senators who are going to be here way after us will not benefit from some of the rulings and wisdom that you have made in the past such as the ruling that you have given in this case and in the case of the Advisory Opinion. 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
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: There is some space in this Chamber where the rulings of the Speaker can be made available for us to peruse when an issue like this arises so that we do not have to reinvent the wheel. If a ruling has been issued by a court of a higher jurisdiction, in this case the Supreme Court – by principle of stare decisis – there is no way a High Court can defy. The Speaker’s Panel must find a way of keeping their rulings somewhere available for us to peruse. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, I borrowed a practice from Justice Majanja who made a ruling about the Government Proceedings Act and forwarded it to me saying that we had a lacuna in the law in terms of Government proceedings. The county governments were excluded when the Local Governments Act was repealed and that they were no longer protected. That caused me to move the amendment on the Government Proceedings Act and the county governments are now protected the same way the national Government is protected under the Government Proceedings Act. view
