• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: We are debating the same Bill. The Second Schedule to the Bill is here. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to begin by taking the opportunity to thank and congratulate the team that was appointed by this House led by Sen. Omogeni in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. They did the work that culminated in the Report that we have. In congratulating them, I believe that it is also time when, we, as a House, have to answer affirmatively to the same question that we asked. The question has been asked here continuously: “Does Parliament act or exist in vain as far as this process is concerned?” In my ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 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
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Even more fundamental is on the question of whether the Committee resolved the question of Article 257, and whether this is a Bill that is promoted by the people of the Republic of Kenya, Sen. Omogeni was very clear when he said that the Committee of the Senate resolved that question.

This is knowing very well the problems that we have, even today, of accountability at the county governments’ level. I believe that following these amendments, now we can freely and lawfully make sure that we look at what is happening at the county governments’ level and, indeed, the funds that are collected locally within our ... view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: It then follows in this amendment that Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) have been renamed to Cabinet Ministers. In my view, it is okay. However, we must entrench this thinking in Kenyans that it is not the type and title of the name you carry that can make you deliver. Being called a minister or secretary or whatever, does not lessen or diminish that kind of work you do. It is the requirement of your office that you need to deliver. It is all right that we will now call them Cabinet Ministers. In my view, I believe it was just a ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Speaker, I had expressed my own views then whether it was possible for those justices to come up with a ruling within 14 days. Yes, they did and it was well reasoned.
