• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you and I support. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the debate is going to be here, I propose that we do it at the Kamkunji in 20 to 30 minutes. It is more than enough, so that we can bring the debate here once we have caucused. One hour is too long to talk about what we are going to talk about. Twenty minutes is more than enough. I thank you. 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 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. The letter by the CJ raises serious constitutional issues which, ideally, we must debate them with the sobriety that it deserves. Under Article 102 of the Constitution, a term of Parliament is defined as: “The term of each House of Parliament expires on the date of the next general elections.” This clause alone suggests that there is a contradiction or apparent conflict between Article 102 and Article 261.

• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: raised to the Supreme Court on the interpretation of the exercise of jurisdiction under Article 261 (5), (6), and (7).

I slightly disagree with the notion that the word “shall” has got two meanings. The word “shall” is mandatory. However, in the exercise of jurisdiction ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, according to the mandatory terms under Article 261(7) for the President to exercise jurisdiction, he must check that an order was transmitted to Parliament. We want the President to check in the communication by the CJ that an order was directed to Parliament and the Attorney- General, and served to the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate in order for Article 261 (7) to apply. Lastly, in terms of practicality, the Constitution under Article 260 says that we are supposed to breath life into it. It is supposed to be interpreted in ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I thought that in your communication, you would say that “I propose that Clause 11 be amended” as opposed to be saying “be part of the Bill” because it is being amended. Yaani Kiswahili chako kinaleta utata. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Bwana Mwenyekiti wa Muda, kwa hivyo unasoma mara mbili. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senator for County 007 rarely comes to the Dispatch Box. He does not have the gift of a loud voice like some of us. I urge that you direct that this gentleman be heard in silence. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Your time is up. The way you always switch off our microphones--- view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this has been challenging. Just like Sen. Kang’ata, let me make my remarks--- view
