• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir--- view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. As someone who has been involved in a number of these crises since 1991, I want to congratulate His Excellency the President of Kenya, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and His Excellency Raila Amollo Odinga for the initiative they have taken to move this country forward. I am paying tribute to the two because in the joint statement that they made, they touched on the problems that have confronted Kenya, time and again, and they are problems that all of us have gone through. We had them in 1991-1992, then 1997 where ... view

• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, will I be in order, taking in to account the directives that you have just given, to propose to the Procedure and Rules Committee to consider reducing the time for replying to a Motion to 20 minutes rather than half an hour so that it is in tandem with what you have ruled? However, we leave the moving time of a Motion to one hour because there are some Bills that require a whole hour to move. Will I be in order? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ... view

• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I suggest that you distinguish me and Sen. Waqo with a “Q” by just saying: “Senator number one and the other one Sen. Waqo.” Then there will be no confusion --- view
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, will I be in order to congratulate the Senate Majority Leader who for the first time has requested to postpone an issue because he wants to consult the Leader of Minority? It is the first time I have heard this. We should congratulate that new spirit and hold him to it for the entire five year period. We must carry out our functions in this House in the spirit of consultations and consensus, if possible. The Whip will, of course, be there to ensure this happens. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is Sitswila Amos Wako, in that order. First of all, I welcome the boys from Medina Schools. The house which I have built is called Medina House. I love the name “Medina.” Therefore, you are in a school with a very good name. It is now up to you to live up to the good name of Medina; a place where I believe Prophet Mohammed went at some stage in his pilgrimages. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are discussing a very important Bill. It was one of the first Bills to be passed ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for getting my names right in the order in which they should be pronounced. I only have two minutes. It is, indeed, a bad spectacle so see the Chairman and Vice-Chairman disagreeing on a report without having the minority report. This shows that there could have been no unanimity. However, my concern is paragraph 35. It is important to bear it in mind. It says that:- “In the circumstances, the Committee unanimously agreed that it would consider the following criteria for purposes of shortlisting exercise.” Criterion No.2 says:- “Whether the applicant has knowledge and ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: The mere fact that Sen. Melly was shortlisted, it shows that the Committee was satisfied that he had met the requisite qualifications, which include at least 10 years’ experience. However, when it comes to the summary, they did not make a remark in respect of Sen. Melly, that 10 years’ experience was not established. This is not explained nor do we have the Curriculum Vitae (CV) of Sen. Melly. Therefore, this House is not in a position to judge what happened and what marks have been given. Before we finalize with it, we want this to be done. I support ... view
