• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not sure if this is a point of order and that is why I am a bit hesitant. With regard to Statements from the Government, my Committee is also experiencing difficulties in obtaining the requisite Statements from Government in spite of a number of reminders and so on. I see my friend there is at pains; he cannot promise that it will be ready within seven days. I noticed that the Senate Minority Leader is here. I think it should be one of his duties and functions to help ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Indeed I support this Motion. I support it because when the Senator left rudely as some people say, the two who replaced him were actually holding the fort for him if he came back. He is just claiming what was his as a Senate Minority Leader because of his wisdom and his position in the party. This is just like the story of a Mzee in the Bible who left and gave one person ten talents and another person 20 talents. I believe that when Sen. Wetangula left, he gave ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: . Muthoniwas are very clever people. You can imagine a clever person like me combined with a clever person from my muthoniwa’s family and what the product would be. Having said that, I want to mention that in the appointment of committees, we should look at the competence of the members, among other things. In the appointment of committees, we should look for people who can perform and those who can devote their time as Sen. Mutahi Kagwe stated. In so doing, I know that when Sen. Wetangula goes back to his rightful place in these two committees, he will ... view
• 25 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I will be brief. From the outset, I support the proposal that we appoint these Members. They performed very well last year, having been our first year. They ensured that we had business at hand to be handled. If I can remember, they also undertook a very comprehensive review of the Standing Orders. Generally, they deserve another appointment. Mr. Speaker, Sir, going forward, I believe that towards the end of the session there should be some changes. I am saying this because there is a difference between a Standing Committee ... view

• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to know whether the Governor is here and if he has been told these proceedings are going on. This is so that when he comes and exercises his right to talk, he would have heard us. I am saying this because it is not yet on record. I want it on record that he is around. view

• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Following that, I do not know whether the Senate Majority or Minority Leaders can address this. We need to agree on the issue of time. I know each of us can speak for 30 minutes, but if each of us takes up the 30 minutes then your order that we finish before mid night will be violated. So, could we reach an understanding on this?
