• 6 May 2021 in Senate: During the term of the 11th Parliament on five occasions, the Senate considered the proposed removal from office by impeachment of governors and deputy governors by way of a special committee and on one occasion, in the plenary. Further, during the term of the 12th Parliament on two occasions, the Senate has considered the proposed removal from office by impeachment of the governors by way of special committees and on another two occasions, we have decided to go the plenary way. At a special meeting of the Senate Business Committee held on 3rd May, 2021, the Members deliberated on the ... view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from experience, it is easier to bring the Motion and agree on it and later find a way of getting the names after we have agreed on whether we are going the Committee way without prejudice or influence regarding anybody who is in that Committee. That is why this Motion is very unique. It is the first time it is being written this way. That goes to prove that the House does not have any particular interest. It is a fair arbiter that will listen and then allow Members to make a decision. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Accordingly, should the House resolve to proceed with the matter by way of a special committee, the names will be added to the Motion. However, should the House resolve to proceed with this matter in Plenary, the Speaker will advise on the particular days for the hearing of the proposed removal from office by way of impeachment of the Governor of Wajir County. view

• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Malalah has recently retired from the Senate Business Committee (SBC). That informs how he wants to fit wherever he has gone. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: I appeal to Members - as I said - that we have a decision to make on whether we are going Plenary or Committee. If we approve the Committee way, we just come up with the names. We have seen before that names prejudice people and decisions. Let us first of all agree if it is Plenary or Committee which is why we are proposing to move in this direction. This is not the time we need to say so many words. I appeal to Members that the process of impeachment begins now from the time the Speaker reads the ... view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: The choice is upon this House. The destiny of this governor is in the hands of the House. It is up to us to begin the process now and move in whichever direction. We are appealing to Members to be committed to this process because it is a matter that affects a leader, a county and many of our people, including Members from that county. I move and request the Senate Minority Leader to second. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. In a matter like this, as the person who moves the Motion, you try to remain balanced and stay in the place where Members are left to make the decision as to whether or not we will support this Motion. 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
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: I know the process is yet to be finished because even if Members decided to go the Committee way, it will still be subjected to provision of names. Therefore, I want Members to stay in tune, so that if Members then decide it is not the Committee, then the process stops right there. view
