• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are all going to vote, eventually. There is merit that the Senate spoke, the Mediation Committee spoke and people have raised their own objections. However, if we continue disparaging one another, the way Sen. Olekina has started, then all of us are going to look very bad. In the attempt by Sen. Olekina to throw mud at everybody, he will not walk away smelling like a rose. Sen. Olekina did not attend the meeting, so that he could decline to sign. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Olekina is my friend; so, I advise him to be honest ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is not fair to speak after Sen. Orengo. He is my leader in many ways, both as my senior in the profession and here. However, now that you have honoured me with the privilege, normally in court, I would seek his leave, and you know the obvious. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: When I was mobilising people to vote, as the Minority Whip, I was quite prepared for Senators to vote ‘no’ because it is their entitlement and right. I spoke to Sen. M. Kajwang,’ Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko and Sen. (Prof) Ekal in the Senate Lounge, and they were very upset about the way they were handled by one of the leaders. I told them they could come and express their disappointments in their vote, which is their right. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Secondly, I must say that most often than not, when we are given a responsibility, sometimes we become very defensive even when we are accused of having failed etcetera . I accept that we failed, but this Senate sent us to the Mediation Committee to 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
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: fetch water with sieves. We were not to get anything. I accept but want to disclose, because I have said that out of the Senators who are in this House, I am the only one who has served in all the Mediation Committees on the Division of Revenue Bill. We had a Mediation Committee in 2017. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, to my colleagues, particularly on the Senate Minority side, I want you to go, and before you do, think about the story of Saul becoming Paul in the story of the road to Damascus. The people who agreed with us inevitably in all Mediation Committees since the year 2014, were the Members of the Opposition in the National Assembly. This is the problem of “handshake”. This time round the “handshake” has caused the Members of Opposition to behave like finance ministers of government. Most insults came from Members of the Minority side to which I belong. I ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, what I did not want to say in simple terms is that I thought that in any mediation, the people who go there--- If you look at the Supreme Court of Kenya advisory opinion, they advised that those who go to mediation must be a certain calibre of people who can sit and mediate. I do not know how to go to a meeting without carrying my brain. If that is the prescription of a mediator, then---. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. Why not? view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in conclusion, this is a very untidy situation. Sen. Sakaja, Sen. Kibiru and I thought that you chose us because we have good brains, not because we know how to throw water or insults. Lastly, part of the problem we have - and Sen. Kajwang’ is here - is that we are accused of giving governors too much, even when we are giving them too little. We must match our words and actions with something. The governors who are misusing funds should be brought here by Sen. M. Kajwang’. We should postpone every business we are doing ... view
