• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also sympathize with the conveners of the meeting whereby the Senate Minority Leader launched his presidential bid which I actually attended since Sen. Wetangula is a colleague. It was very unfortunate because I was the first person to be teargassed in that field when my name and the party I come from were announced. That disqualified the Jubilee side from having a hand in the teargassing. Before that, there were other many teargasses that were thrown to people of Kakamega trying to disperse them. The most unfortunate thing is that after the two teargasses were thrown, ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am trying to imagine the timing of the President in issuing that statement while in Israel. I remember very well that it was immediately after the affidavit on Ms. Ann Waiguru was released. I think he felt frustrated in the fight against corruption when that affidavit mentioning Ms. Ann Waiguru was released. He, therefore, made that very strong statement while in Israel. Nothing else had happened to warrant the statement at that particular time. I, therefore, concur with what Sen. Muthama said; that the statement meant something. Thank you, Mr. ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to be guided because I do not know how the scrutiny of any petition is done before it comes to this House. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said I stand to be guided on the issue of that Petition. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Most of the points in the Petition by the petitioner are invalid. To me, they do not make any headway as far as this House is concerned. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I ride on Sen. Mbuvi’s Statement. As far as the beneficiaries of where the railway will pass are concerned, I would like to know who are affected in Naivasha so that they can as well be included because the design must be already out and we hope it will pass Nakuru. Thank you. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to applaud the petitioners in this matter. Considering that the matter is within a very peaceful region, it is important for the two Senators, to assist the committee which will be allocated the mandate of handling this matter with some speed. I know the petitioners mean good because that is a more diplomatic way of handling such issues. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We had a similar matter just the other day. This is a demonstration of arrogance from the National Assembly. This House cannot allow it. We will set a very bad precedence when we violate the Constitution, as it is. It is very clear that both Speakers have to sit down together and consult each other regarding any matter being brought here as a Bill. It helps to know whether the Bill is a money Bill or otherwise. I urge you to let that Bill be withdrawn from the Order Paper for tomorrow. We do not ... view
