• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, since Sen. Kang’ata has started, let us all confess our sins or whatever it is. I want to tell you that believing in God helps. I sat in a committee where some of the people, including Sen. Wetangula who was a Co-Convener of the mediation voted for the contentious formula. I must say that I told the Co-Chair that this is problematic way of doing things. He told me that we needed 24 votes and we will get them. As the Whip, I told him that we will not get the 24. It has come to pass. ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Let me tell you another confession. I have been admiring Sen. Orengo since I was 17. I used to do my research for the legal cases and petitions where they were against my father, but I used to take notes about what Sen. Orengo would say about my cases because he used to demolish them one by one. When there was something wrong, normally he would not look at you in the eye or talk. I can assure you that Sen. Orengo is one of the Senators and leaders of this country who is pro-reform. That is the reason why ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if there is one thing we should know is that we are stronger together. We did not know the talents of Sen. Sakaja until he started drafting formulas ya + yb, those things. The same applies to Sen. Farhiya and Sen. Wetangula. All this has been realized because we have used all our talents to get this thing together. There are several Senators who took a political risk. The political risk is this; that you are gaining but you are supporting losers. It is a political risk! Sen. Malalah and the Senator for Bomet are among them. ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: him for seeing it fit to support devolution, otherwise there was going to be gnashing of teeth. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the Senate, today Wednesday, 16th September, 2020. view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, it is only one comment. In our work we have found that there is a direct contradiction in the Public Health Act, which was assented to in the 1940s. It has offences and things that were done in the 1940s and, therefore, not in tandem with the Health Act. Therefore, I think the 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
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Committee on Delegated Legislation must recommend that the Public Health Act must be repealed. Secondly, it was also very unfortunate that whilst the wearing of masks was outlawed, the standard of masks and the provision of masks by the national Government was not implemented. Part of the concerns we had Madam Deputy Speaker, is that, even before the lapse of the period for Parliament to make a decision on this matter, the national Government and several people had already been charged in court and found guilty for offences which we had not approved. Therefore, on this pandemic, I want to ... view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: .: Madam Deputy Speaker, this House must condemn the actions of Gov. (Prof.) Anyang’-Ny’ong’o, who was a Senator when we proposed The County Boundaries Bill, 2017. Secondly, I thank Sen. Haji because in their deliberation in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), he requested for the Bill. I would like to remind Sen. Haji, who is the Chairperson of the BBI, that the only way to protect the counties through the BBI is to protect their boundaries. The Senate must be clear that we cannot delimitate constituencies and wards and leave counties. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) must be ... view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Yesterday, I said that the National Assembly through the Parliamentary Budget Office, is declaring the work of the Senate as money Bills without any deliberation. They sit somewhere in a room and decide that all the Bills from the Senate are money Bills. The Senate must find a way and speak authoritatively that the work of the Senate under Article 123 is not going to be trashed in the manner that the National Assembly is doing right now. We must condemn what the National Assembly is doing. view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, lastly, I agree with Sen. Cheruiyot that Gov. (Prof.) Anyang’-Ny’ong’o’s expansion policies resemble those of Hitler in 1944 and 1945. view
