• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senate Majority Leader should have disclosed that I am doing this on behalf of Sen. Orengo, so that it is not mistaken that I have grown too big for myself. There is no doubt that the President was right, that this country is bigger than its citizens and everybody else. This country has gone through many divisive elections and is facing a pandemic that has affected the way we are doing business. It was good to hear that the schools will reopen. However, it is of great concern, that as the second wave goes ... view

• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: While he is building bridges and he has gone to the top of the mountain and like proverbial Moses, he will leave the work to somebody else to continue doing. Since in the building bridges, the people who were fighting the cause of the building bridges have said he wants to build a bridge and continue holding the post of the bridge. Nonetheless, he has said by being Moses and being on the top of the mountain; from my own interpretation and, allow me to say so, the President is going to hand over power when the time comes, which ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is that what Sen. Cheruiyot was saying? I thought he was doubting! What I am saying significantly is that, even on Mt. Sinai, when Moses came down, the children of Israel wanted to go back. This is significant in the journey of building bridges. I have said this before and I have said this to him, which Sen. Wetangula can confirm that this country needs an election, where the President is elected and the person disputing agrees he has lost. Even if he does not agree he has lost, he has been given 30 days in the ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important information to the former Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is good information. We had a demonstration of a machine, which is not connected to any network. Brazil has 107 million voters registered biometrically and their election results are submitted within two hours. This is a country we should be aspiring to, not a country where we are prepared for election disputes and threatening people that if you do not win, then you will not have a country. That is the sought of country I am looking forward to where the sovereign is the sovereign. If the sovereign elect person ‘X’, then we should have peace ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since you are on the seat, we are looking forward to the day when you and Speaker Muturi will shake hands, so that Article 110 (3) can be put into effect. Just like the Senate Majority Leader has said, I am looking forward to this Senate vetting the Chief Justice, the Deputy Chief Justice, the Auditor-General, and the non- members of the Cabinet. That is the sort of Senate we are looking at. It is not too much to ask for because this Senate has produced the best legislators. This Senate can produce other legislators, but we ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think Sen. Kang’ata wanted to disrupt me so that I lose my train of thought, but I have not. I was talking about the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). The Senate Majority Leader spoke about this at length. It is important that in the building of bridges, the Senate is recognized as the House that brings this country together. Therefore, in reference to the Address by His Excellency the President, it is important that the drafters and the team that is looking at this document find a consensus where devolution is given prominence. The House ... view

• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: The question of how we do it is also important. As leaders we must offer advice and bring the country together in building of these bridges and amending the Constitution. Not everybody is going to be onboard or agree. We must be prepared that there are people who will disagree but we must agree bearing in mind that we have one country. We must disagree and agree that we can disagree because that is the democracy we have. view
