• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the County of Mandera I vote yes to “a”, yes to “b” and yes to “c”. view
• 4 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. As the Mover and the other Senators have said, this is a very important Motion. The question of impeachment is one of the fundamental responsibilities of the Senate. We have a responsibility to do what is in the best interest of this nation. It is a fundamental constitutional mandate and in my view, of checks and balances, that this Senate is mandated to undertake impeachment process. Checks and balances are very important in our system of governance. It is in this context that I would urge those Members who have ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. 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
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think for the guidance of the House, we need to know; because the practice in the Commonwealth Parliamentary System is that there are two sides – the Majority and the Minority sides – and that there is a Front Bench for the Leaders – and in this case the Chairpersons.

• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. This issue is likely to create a crisis in the Government. This is not a small issue. If that Bill and any of the other Bills which are in the pipeline are passed by the National Assembly, personally, as the Senator for Mandera, I have instructions from my county that if a Bill is touching on my county and is harmful to the interests of my county people, I am going to bring a Motion here declaring such a Bill’s nullity. The resolutions passed by this House will provide evidence to the court ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Senator. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a proposal like changing the sitting hours on Wednesday’s from 9.00 am to 10.00 a.m. is important. We have missed very many days of sitting because these sittings are poorly coordinated. There are many other Standing Orders, especially on the voting, that we need to change, including those that affect the Committees. 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
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We are a House which governed by rules. I think that when a Member has moved under the relevant Standing Order, that the sitting of this House be extended until the conclusion of the business of the House, we should listen and contribute. If we just say “No! No!” in chorus, I do not think that, that really in order. view
• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rose on a point of order because there are papers relating to Uwezo Fund Regulations that we want to lay before the House. So, I request that in the next few minutes, I will lay them when I get them from Clerk’s Department. view
