• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just a second. I was just quick in mentioning those few names. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is a star in--- view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Absolutely, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In my failure to mention him and many others, it does not mean that I do not recognise the work that he and others do. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so that I do not suffer the mistakes of the pastor of Makueni County, I would like to state that I support the Motion from the onset and express confidence in the names of all the Senators who have been proposed and nominated to this Committee. I echo your sentiments that upon close perusal of the names that have been forwarded, the balance is right for those Members to live up to the expectations of members of the public in this country and more so the citizens of Taita/Taveta County in determining whether they have a ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: I would like to list a few things that are of importance that I noted when I served in first impeachment Committee. One, there is the Impeachment Procedure Bill, 2018. I think that the sooner we have that Bill into a law and the agitation when the proposal for this legislation was made by the former Senator for Nyandarua, hon. (Eng.) Muriuki Karue, it was to raise the threshold of impeachment more so, the brevity of time that the Committee has got to look into the impeachment issue. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in a nutshell, if and when a Committee ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is suffices to say that we need a law. Secondly, in the process of the first impeachment, there was ping pong that was almost endless between this House where an actual trial was going on. Lawyers appeared before the impeachment Committee to make submissions while there was another trial that was on-going in all the courts starting from the first impeachment of Gov. Wambora from the courts in Embu all the way to Kirinyaga and finally to the Supreme Court. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Those parallel processes eventually ended up with different results. What was of interest was that the orders kept on being given at the same time from both levels. I believe that we would have a better process if we had a law that would bring harmony Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, I would like to urge the Senators who have been proposed to be part of this Committee that they should act bravely when they are making the conclusions. In the Supreme Court decision in the case of Gov. Wambora’s impeachment, the court was very explicit. They expressed the reluctance ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am seeking your permission to ride on this Statement. The Statement by Sen. Mwaura was sought when I was out. Sen. Mwaura is not only a Senator from Kiambu County, but I am also one of the leaders who have been actively involved in trying to ensure that things are done right in the counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to ride on this Statement because the matter about the hospital has been raised several times. It has not only been raised by MCAs, but also by members of the public. Alongside the issues that Sen. ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. To begin with, I am the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads, Transportation and infrastructure.

• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: inspection of projects that have been carried out by the Government in the last seven years since our election in the year 2013. I do not want to forget to laud the Government because to a large extent, since the days of His Excellency Mwai Kibaki, the former President, this country has experienced real growth and expansion of a lot of infrastructural projects, without having to name them. Largely, if we look at our highways and roads, airports, ports and other projects that fact is acknowledged. Madam Temporary Speaker, by international standards, almost every infrastructural project of the magnitude, for ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if you have a community around areas that lack water, you will have poor health. You will even lose on tourism. For example, in those areas like Kajiado, where we are building the SGR through the park, if there is no referral station, then what happens to the wildlife occupying this whole area? We have a problem. Just the other day, I was watching news on the television, and I saw giraffes dying of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
