• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, corruption and impunity is county No.48 of this country. In this bundle there is corruption and impunity. The governor then uses the mantra, like all of them do, “it was not me; it was somebody else.” If there was a charge of gross incompetence, Nyeri County counts for it. I am satisfied that the governor was served and he ignored the assembly. I see a systematic contempt of the County Assembly of Nyeri. He ignored them for seven days, because there is a default clause. That is impunity. If he cannot follow the law, dictate the law ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like you to clarify one little thing. I have been watching Senators scribbling a lot of questions. Although our order suggests that we will be seeking clarifications, in actual sense, the Senators will cross-examine the witness. Ideally, in Law, the re-examination should come after the cross-examination. Where it reads ‘re- examination and then clarifications,’ you ought to change it, so that the re-examination can come after the questions have been asked. The questions here are actually cross-examination. view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have three questions. First, please clarify to us on the charge 9 (a) that is on Bills. According to the County Governments Act, the governor has 14 days to assent to the law failure to which the law is deemed to have been assented to. Under Section 25, the law is supposed to be gazetted upon assentment. Please clarify under charge nine on the Bills that you have specified here so that we understand where the default is. What is the date that the assembly passed each Bill? On what date did it lapse? On what ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am still on the question of Bills. For us to make a proper determination and confirm that, in fact, the Bill was forwarded, the schedule is not enough. There should be a letter of forwarding to the Governor and there should be another letter forwarding the Bill which has not been assented to, to the Government Printer. The statement made by my learned friend cannot be supported by evidence. I would like to accept it, but it cannot be accepted as evidence. view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is wisdom in a deliberative session. There are some matters that are legal and others evidential. It is fair that Senators do not rise on matters that are legal and speak to things that may cause problems. Maybe the Communication should have been that we will retreat not to seek a consensus, but to distill the facts, as Sen. Wako suggests. In the case of a special Committee there should be a report to be debated in the Plenary. I do not know whether the HANSARD itself will be the report of the deliberations, after we ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill. Clause 22 has not been highlighted yet it is very important. In Clause 22 the Committee proposed a timeline for the prosecution of these offences to be 12 months. Under Clause 23, it was proposed that there will be special magistrates and special courts, the same way there are special judges to hear election petitions. There will also be timelines so that the persons who commit election offences are prosecuted within the five-year period, so that this is not used against them in the future. More importantly, the punishment that ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Sen. Ndiema, are you speaking to the election offences. The nomination of commissioners is in the other Bill. view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: It is in the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 37 of 2016). view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Okay. You have five minutes. view
