• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to apologize because Sen. Orengo had asked a Question, I have received an answer and I was told about it. And like Sen. Sonko, I was where he was at that time; some cubicle somewhere. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had to do it after him. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Arising out of your directive that we do the Committee of the Whole on Order No.10, the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill tomorrow, I want to take this opportunity to convene a meeting of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights immediately after this, so that we can agree and make sure that amendments are in order for tomorrow. I would also want to use this opportunity to ask the Clerk’s Office to make arrangements immediately for us to be able to meet. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Chairperson of the Committee for the steps he has taken because where there is a sort-of-conflict between our duties as a legislature, that takes priority. But can I just ask you also, maybe, to slightly amend your directive? We have, on behalf of every Committee, nominated Members of the Senate who have no vote. The vote that will be taken tomorrow will be a county vote, which means that the heads of delegations will vote. Maybe the nominated Members of those Committees can go and represent their Committees because they will be ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, English is not our language. What I meant was that they have no vote to cast tomorrow. But I now swallow those words and I withdraw. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize most profusely to the nominated Members, a majority of whom are ladies, whom I like. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this request, really on the basis that we would want as much as possible, through consultation, to try and resolve this matter amicably. The opportunity should be given for that and I think that a week or two will suffice. It may very well be that this is a matter that can be resolved very amicably and we move forward. We have an image at the Pan-African Parliament to keep and so, if we can resolve this matter amicably, we will be able to restore the respect that, that Parliament has for the ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Orengo had asked for a Statement on the alleged involvement of public officers in coaching of the International Criminal Court (ICC) witnesses against the Deputy President. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I received the answer from the Office of the Attorney General yesterday morning, although it is dated 21st November, 2013. The answer requires certain clarifications and I talked to Sen. James Orengo and requested that I be given time to seek those clarifications, so that when I give the answer in this House, it will be a solid answer. I would, therefore, kindly request that ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was not here, but I understand that the hon. Senator had also asked a question on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). A letter was dispatched to the ministry, asking for the relevant information, but the answers have not yet arrived. So, I would suggest again that we put it off to Wednesday and I will, in the meantime, take the problem of trying to get the answers from the relevant Ministry. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, indeed, the Vice Chairman, informed me about the statement sought. I am now looking into it and I hope that I can respond to it next week with the help of the Government Ministries concerned. I will endeavour to do it. If I fail, I will come back and inform you. view
