• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to cast any aspersions against anybody. These are very unique and exciting times. The signature of Sen. Obure on the standing letter that Sen. Ong’era has, has been tested because she has used it and it has been admissible. However, the letter in possession of Sen. Onchwangi has not been tested. The only person who would confirm that the signature is, indeed, his would be Sen. Obure. I would beg you that in the absence of Sen. Obure to own that signature, we should revert to the signature that is already tested on ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank you for the communication. In keeping with the respect we have for the House, as soon as you summoned us, you can see we are here in very large numbers. However, as I thank you, I would like you to clarify something very important. The experience I have gone through this morning is that I have been denied access to this House. I took refuge at the parking at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and on my way to this Chamber, police dogs barked at me. I would like ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I make my point of order, allow me to appreciate you, following your ruling. Just like the police were taken away, the Public Gallery is now open to the public. We feel so independent from the Executive this Afternoon. For this reason, we want us to apply the law as it is. view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: I would like to bring to the attention of the Chair that following what transpired in the National Assembly, a number of suits are in the High Court. What we are doing now, it should not be surprising that it will attract suits in the High Court. Therefore, one of the strongest grounds that a Kenyan will use is that at 2.30 p.m. today, there is no Sitting. This Sitting does not exist. Kindly listen to the Office of the Clerk. When the Office of the Clerk heard you adjourn the House, they dismantled our desks in the usual manner ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet is perfectly in order to stand on that point of order; but if you may remember, in your communique, you referred to the Order Paper by mentioning the business before us today. Sen. Khaniri is pointing out the issues on the Order Paper which you referred to in your communication. So, if you allow the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet to deny Sen. Khaniri an opportunity to have you hear him, it will be assuming that the Senator for Elgeyo- Marakwet is in the Chair. He is not. view

• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a Point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.Just like Sen. Sang, most of us have looked after animals. On many occasions, we are accompanied by the family dog when we are on that exercise. He knows that the dog only obeys two instructions. It has been trained to only bark at Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale if he has an offensive weapon, or the person holding the dog has told it: S aa!” I want to confirm that I have no weapon. The dog barked because the police have instructions to tell the dog” saa!” when it sees a CORD Senator view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just a few minutes ago, you made a ruling and assured the country that these proceedings will be open to the country in keeping with the provision of the Constitution which was quoted by Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o. However, we are now getting feedback that these proceedings are no longer live. 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
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have no reason why I would doubt the Chairperson. If it is true, then, we really must thank you because you have just confirmed that this Senate is not an extension of the Executive. As I thank you, I would also like to ask the Executive to also be in charge of the various departments that are in the Government. I would be scared to imagine that it would be the President who ordered the police to cordon off this Parliament. If it is true that Gen. Nkaissery was doing it ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to make a statement at a man called Nkaissery. view
