• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is really on procedure now, because I think there is a threshold on what a point of order is. You cannot use a point of order to start debating the matter or even argue. If we keep ourselves to the threshold, I do not think we will have all these things. I understand what it is, but you cannot use that provision to continue debating the issue out of these things. view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to appreciate the special Committee led by the Senator for Kakamega who has assured us that he is still the Senator for Kakamega. We should reinforce that. On our behalf, I ask him to also thank others who are distinguished Members of this House. 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
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: When we were thinking about how to go about this, we agreed it should go to the special Committee. Sometimes you can have the plenary and sometimes a committee. I congratulate Members of the Committee for how they conducted the hearing because they observed the standards of how to conduct a hearing. I believe both parties will agree that justice was served. They should understand that not everybody will like their verdict, but the process seems to have received high ratings. view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have allowed us to make some comments. We must be confident in our Committees. We must also have confidence in this House. Sometimes we read things written by Members of this House that degrade the House. People out there call us names because sometimes we call ourselves those names. We must desist from the populist ideas that degrade this House. This is a House of honour, unity and rules. view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: I appeal to my colleagues to try and restore the dignity of this House. We do not have to think that if a verdict comes out the way it has come out, then it is wrong. However, when it comes out the other way, then it is right. We all agree that our Committees represent us and the verdict they bring should be accepted. view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: The other thing people must realise is that the standards and threshold for impeachment are set out and there is precedent. What the Chairman of the special Committee said is correct. We must understand that we are here to follow the law and accept the verdict. view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: I thank Members of the special Committee and the parties involved. I also congratulate them for the process they carried out. view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: I thank you. view
