• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that the Senate Leader of Minority’s request is very reasonable. In fact, it ties in very well with the questions asked by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale which has enriched the information that we have received. I agree that the Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights will endeavor to ensure that the IBEC gives us appropriate answers plus the issues that have arisen from the Floor of the House. I request for two weeks. view
• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order, when he has just arrived from Moscow yet I have been in this country for the last one month seeing my people in the constituency? Who is out more than the other, the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations or the Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights? view
• 23 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important document that has been laid by Sen. Murkomen, the Chair of the Select Committee of the Senate on Constitution and Legal Review. I think it is so important that I seek the Speaker’s guidance on how we propose to move with this particular document. I would wish that when we come to discuss the Report in this House, which is a record in the HANSARD and will be in a sense a very historical event to find out what the opinions of various Senators are on this matter and on the various ... view
• 23 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. I knew that, that is how you would answer. It shall stand committed automatically. But I want to merely assure this House that in spite of the opinion that I have expressed in this House this afternoon, my Committee will look at this issue very objectively. It will look at the Constitution and advise this Senate the very correct 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
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table:- Annual Report of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission: July 2013 to June 2014. view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. First, I want to associate myself with the sentiments expressed by my colleagues on the treatment of yesterday. I do not believe that the Governor of Machakos did not know what he was doing. He has been the Government spokesman and he knows the protocols. Normally when a court is sentencing somebody, it makes sure that he knows why he gets two years instead of four years because he should have known better. The governor should have known better. I do not know whether he is selling Maendeleo Chap Chap ... view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Five minutes is too short but I would say that on an issue that has gone on for more than 18 years, it is time to make a closure. The time to make the closure was the final verdict of the Supreme Court, the highest court of this land. That should have been the final determination by closing the matter, teachers get paid and we move on. One thing that I do not quite understand is the fact that when I read the various documents – and I have been ... view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, having confirmed that, how then do they start saying that they cannot pay teachers because it is not sustainable when they – in their own documents – stated that it is sustainable? How then can they stand up and say that they will not obey court orders when they reconfirmed that they will do so? view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: They now claim that they are concerned with the constitutional principle and the rule of law which demands that we obey court orders. Therefore, people who are in breach of the court order cannot assume in their negotiations and intimidatory approach to the teachers. They threaten that teachers will not be paid and that they will be sacked. In fact, they should be trembling and stating that unless they are careful, they shall be committed to civil jail because of contempt of court orders. view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is the first day we are sitting after recess. I promise that the response to the Statement will be forthcoming next week, if not this Thursday. However, I believe that the defamatory statements and actions by opponents of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale do not emanate from the fact that a statement has not been made in this House. It emanates elsewhere. Therefore, he had better struggled at the right and appropriate place and take appropriate legal action. If he wants to take an appropriate legal action, I am a lawyer and he knows what he must ... view
