• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Secondly, this country glorifies thieves, who make it to the headlines. We glorify criminals; they get coverage on the front pages of the Daily Nation . No person who does good deeds ever gets that sort of attention. You will most likely be called to Jeff Koinange Live (JKL) or you will most likely have a press interview, because we admire thieves, criminals and we glorify criminal activity. This country needs prayers. I have suggested that the National Prayer Breakfast be held in Parliament, because this is where The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: the real prayers are required. This is where Parliamentarians will be told, like Moses, “Please remove your shoes. This is holy ground.” The moment we know that, then we will change. view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Thirdly, I have proposed for Senator Cheruiyot, and I hope you can assist us in this, that every Report under Section 67,164,165 and 166 from the Executive Committee Member (ECM) directed to the Controller of Budget should be forwarded to us. That way, we will not be relying on the summaries given by the Controller of Budget. I must tell you I have lost all faith – and I am speaking now as a Christian – in the Office of the Controller of Budget. They are doing nothing much than just glossy reports for us, and it is not helping. view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, lamenting will not help. What will the people remember you for; it is being here and making law. Therefore, let us make those amendments. I think that you are right; we are chasing too many rainbows in the Senate and not concentrating on the right things. We walk in and out as if we can walk in and out of devolution. Kenyans trust this House. If we do not do our jobs, and I have said this before, history will judge us harshly. You will go down as the House that supervised, superintended and assisted the death ... view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a matter concerning counties, although that is your jurisdiction to make. However, I am submitting that this is a matter concerning counties. We propose to vote for the Report - now I am speaking as Whip. I am, therefore, asking, under Standing Order No.61, that you defer putting the Question to a later date. view

• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First and foremost, allow me to thank Senators who have contributed to this important Bill beginning with the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Cherargei, Sen. Ndwiga, Sen. Mwangi, Sen. Shiyonga, Sen. Kasanga, Sen. (Rev.) Waqo, Sen. Pareno, Sen. Were, Sen. (Dr.) Zani and my brother Sen. Sakaja. In fact, I have had time to steer-over it 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
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: This Bill is very important. I would like to reply and state that this matter is so important and central to Article 94. My reading of the advisory opinion by the Supreme Court suggests that if one Speaker of the House violates Article 110, we can find them in contempt of the Constitution. The Supreme Court in paragraph 142 says as follows: “How do the two Speakers proceed to answer questions or sub questions as to whether a Bill concerns counties, a special Bill or a money Bill?” The words in the Supreme Court decision is that they must consider ... view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: I plead with the two Speakers of the National Assembly and the Senate to find in their hearts a way to make sure that this Bill becomes law. If they do not, we will hold them responsible. They have failed to offer leadership. We have given them a formula as legislators and we expect them to follow the lead which we have given them. If they fail, we have a right to move for the impeachment of the Speakers of the National Assembly and the Senate. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: I beg to reply. Madam Temporary Speaker, under Standing Order No. 61(3), I beg your leave that you defer the putting of the question until a later day, possibly in the next sitting. view
