• 20 Dec 2022 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
• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: I was sympathetic to Sen. Cherarkey’s group, but he gave up very first. Many Members who have risen to speak are in support of the Committee option. So, I also support it. However, allow me to make a few comments on the merits of the Committee of the Whole. As it was pointed out by Sen. Onyonka, this would have been an opportunity for the new Senators to get to understand how the process works if we had the Committee of the Whole. Maybe they can attend Committee sessions as friends of the Committee and learn. I have also looked ... view
• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: I have looked at the proposed names and the Senator for Meru is not included. We have developed a tradition where whenever we engage our county governors, the Member for that area is invited. An example is in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Public Investments Committee (PIC) meetings. They are always invited to come and hear because they understand the issues better and can interrogate and guide the other Members. view
• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: It is something we need to look at so that we do not have Senators discussing your governor and you are not represented. You should be given a choice, whether you want to not participate or be a Member. It is very important for that consideration to be put in place. view
• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: The Committee should do a thorough job given that this particular impeachment is a unique one because it has come 112 days after election. The proposed Impeachment Procedure Bill proposes that we need a longer period before an impeachment of a governor is brought before us. view
• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: This is a very unique impeachment. The Committee should do justice to the people of Meru and to this House by bringing a report that makes sense legally and one we can easily support as a Senate. We need to do a neat job to avoid the challenges we have faced before. view
• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: You are aware we have had impeachment Motions passed by this House being challenged in court. The recent one was the impeachment of the Governor of Wajir who ended up finishing his term because of the gaps in the impeachment process that we had. view
• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: The Committee has an obligation to do a thorough job that we will all support because it will be strictly within the law. With those few remarks, I belatedly support the formation of a Select Committee of 11 people. I encourage we do a more bipartisan process in future on such a matter so that we do not have contestations on the Floor of the House on a simple matter that we would have taken a very short time. view
• 20 Dec 2022 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 Dec 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues to support the fact that it is important to defer this Bill. view
