• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: It is good we are plagued with several things. We have COVID-19 with us. We have the economy performing very badly due to different reasons. That is why we should be very prudent in the way we use our resources both at the national and county levels. view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, with that, I know time is not on our side, I would like to ask Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve to second the Motion. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am very disappointed by the statement by the Senator for Nandi. He has said that if we are looking for gender parity, we should not look at the Senate as a place where we want to dump our women. By listing women to be part and parcel of this House, according to him, that makes the Senate a dumping ground. Can he come clear on that? view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity just to add my voice to the same statement that was made by the Speaker on the ruling of the High Court of Kenya concerning the issues we had presented there. 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
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: It has taken a long time but by the end, we can see that the ruling has given life to this House. I thank all the Senior Counsels and all the Senators who participated in that case. It was a joint effort and we should thank all of us. It is a win for the Senate and our Speaker. I know it was very difficult for him to lead that walk to the High Court in Milimani. He did it and we have now seen the results of that sacrifice that the Senators made. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: I have been disturbed in a very big way by the behavior of Members of the National Assembly. I think as Members in both Houses and more so, the National Assembly, we suffer from a very big complex. I do not know whether it is inferiority or superiority complex. It is a big problem to the extent that we divide ourselves. Some people think they are more Kenyan than others or one House is superior to the other. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: We are here to give service to our people, make laws for them, represent them and make sure we give them the best, from the opportunity they have given us to serve in the two Houses. It should not be a contest of who is more superior, bigger or smaller. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Although we are making any laws, we do not make them for ourselves or as individuals. We should make them for posterity and the future of this nation. Right now, we, as the Senate, are going through struggles. As we serve in this House, we should make sure we iron out most of the problems that the Senators who will come to this House after us will find it a little bit better and easier. We should bring this superiority complex to an end and know that the cardinal responsibility that we have is the people of Kenya. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: I support the BBI not for any reason but for the fact that when we were doing the Constitution in 2010, it was very clear that there was a percentage that was not right. Time has come and ten years is not a short time. If you look at the mature democracies such as USA, I think they have amended their Constitution almost 27 times. Ten years is long enough for us to know where we have weaknesses and where we can strengthen our Constitution. By BBI being made available for us, it is time for us to correct where ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: This idea of Money Bill does not augur well for Members of the National Assembly. For example, I have a very good Bill on the County Resource Development. It is a very important Bill that would help most governors to get more resources by developing the resources they have within their localities. When I was about to present it, the issue of Money Bill came in and I had to donate it to the National Assembly. They may not execute it the way I would have wanted to execute it. They may not have achieved what I would have wanted ... view
