• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: of ours, put them on your list the way you did with Aden Keynan. There is no problem. That is the information I wanted to inform you. Otherwise--- view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to be fair, it is for him to say. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to join my colleagues who have spoken before me in supporting this Motion. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: I happen to have been lucky enough to have been part of the Committee that dealt with the first impeachment that was brought to us from Meru. I do agree with my colleagues that the Committee way is a more efficient process. It allows for people to interact with evidence and the law so that they can reach an informed decision. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: I have had a casual perusal of the names proposed. We serve with Sen. Kisang. He is my Vice-Chair in the Committee of Energy together with Sen. Abass. We serve in the Committee on County Public Accounts with Sen. Gataya Mo Fire. Sen. Tabitha Mutinda and I handle the delicate relations between Kenya and the Kingdom of Eswatini. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: I have also looked at the names proposed here from our side. If the Chair of the Governor Mwangaza impeachment was to speak, they agreed that it was good to at least have some people with strong legal background. They help other Members and the Committee in interpreting some of the things and in giving direction on matters of the law that arose. In the Committee, we, in the Minority side, have given them three senior advocates: Sen. Omogeni, Sen. Mumma and Sen. Maanzo. All of whom are advocates of no mean repute. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: I hope that as this process goes on, we, as Members, who are not part of this Committee, will give the Members time to do their job. I know Sen. Orwoba has referred to the previous Committee. We felt a lot of pressure from our colleagues. I know that even the resources are limited. There is a definite number of copies that can be produced and most of these county assemblies do not have the resources. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: It is not possible to produce copies for everyone. It converts the thing back to a Committee of the Whole. I wish that we protect this process. I am happy you have directed on the issue of public pronouncements on this issue. I was a bit worried when the process begun in the County Assembly. I saw some of my colleagues commenting on social media. I insist that we all have a responsibility to protect this House and our processes. view
