• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I never thought I would say this, but we deserve and need a break. From the work that we have been doing, you also know that we deserve a break, including our staff who have persevered this COVID-19 pandemic to work with us throughout. They need the break more than us because we will continue working. We thank the members of staff of the Senate Secretariat and all who have made sure that we have managed to comply with all the timelines. If it was not for the Committee and Secretariat of the Committee ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to take less time so that we can prosecute something else. First, I was on the Floor yesterday and said that the Committee on Finance and Budget, which I am a Member, has done a good job in terms of making sure that this Bill aligns to what the contributors were saying. However, I want to bring to the attention of the Senate something that we should consider. I hope that the Liaison Committee and the Speaker, wherever you are, I hope you are listening. Article 216 (4) says- “The Commission shall ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: 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
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: Senators, like you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, who were in the first policy and are not in the second policy. The way the Constitution is framed, once the policy has been tabled, there is nothing much we can do. Therefore, for the Members who were worried, the question of areas is now settled until we go to the third policy. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the second issue I want to raise is from the ruling of the Council of Governors (CoG) versus the Attorney-General. Since Members have asked, the court has said this, and I want to put it on ... view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to say that as a country, we are treading very dangerously. As politicians, we are also treading very dangerously with the peace of this country. I need not remind the Jubilee Government that they came together and told us we are the ones fighting. Jubilee is founded on the principle that they were joining warring parties and tribes together. We must tell you that Jubilee is dividing Kenya. We must tell you, while we sit on the other side, that we will not allow you to split this country and unite it when you feel ... view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: As you continue fighting as to who will be what and where, we are also with you in making sure that you do not drag this country into war. We must watch our statements as a country. Two people lost their lives. The worse thing was that somebody took a video of a woman who was bleeding and interrogating him like the police would do, instead of wiping their blood. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: What do you mean that it was tomato sauce? Instead of giving her first aid, she was interrogated and ashamed. We must condemn violence in whatever form, from whichever party. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Shiyonga is giggling behind me and it is her Committee that should have spoken. I am surprised that the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration has not made a statement. It is unfortunate. I saw it in Makueni recently--- view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: The Chairperson is behind me. I condemned heckling when I saw it in Makueni. I knew that this heckling would lead to more heckling. Politicians will be tempted to hire more people to heckle. Eventually, people will stone one another--- view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Sen. Shiyonga sometimes makes our points of order look like mathematical formula. You know, why “y=b;” those things of Sen. Sakaja. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all of us must condemn violence. As you drive along Rongai to Nakuru Town Road, you see blue mabati houses built with mud. Those are families that were relocated there as a result of the post-election violence. We lost neighbours whom I know. It must send chills to all of us irrespective of who we want to support for the presidency; that it can never be godly for people to die because we want positions of ... view
