• 28 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he will introduce himself. He is the one who confessed to me that he dropped out of Lenana School. It is good to hear that the Senator for Homa Bay County is one of them because the names which were coming up were a bit scary. A few examples are Mr. Wafula Chebukati, Hon. Prof. Kindiki, Hon. Joe Mucheru, Hon. Johnson Sakaja – the current Governor for Nairobi City County. At least, the Senator for Homa Bay County will have nice things to say. I welcome them to the Senate and assure them that I have had ... view

• 28 Mar 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view

Cheruiyot was moving a Motion, there was a directive by the Speaker that when somebody is moving a Motion, no points of order would be allowed.

In fact, my senior colleague understands that the question of interpretation of this Constitution has also been defined by who has the powers and ability to interpret the Constitution. It was not left to Sen. Mungatana and certainly not to me. It was provided under Article 165, to be the purview of the High Court. What we are doing here is reading and understanding the Constitution in the manner in which ... view
