On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank you for the communiqué. I note that in your communication you have referred to the peaceful rest we had during the vacation---

4 Oct 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will paraphrase. You mentioned that we enjoyed the recess. Allow me to point out especially to the listening public that we, as FORD-Kenya did not find it enjoyable. We lost Ahmed Salim Bamahriz, the founder of FORD-Kenya. He died in a hospital in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to diabetes. The party leader of FORD-Kenya has already communicated to the country. I want to use this opportunity to send my condolences to the family and especially the families of his colleagues in the second liberation. Young Kenyans will not know that Bamahriz was detained ...

Yes, and Charles Rubia, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. They literally used to hide in a private office of advocate Shamalla so as to do their meetings to help Kenya achieve multiparty democracy. I send my condolences and hope that at no time will the country ever rise to amend this Constitution so as to create a one party state the way some misguided party leaders have started showing.

4 Oct 2016 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is nice to see that the Senate is applying Article 110(4) of the Constitution to the letter. We are aware that several Bills had been taken to the National Assembly from this House. I am glad to know and notice that in respect of the two Bills that you have read to us today as well as Messages, you have ordered that they be on the Order Paper tomorrow which is immediate. Could you confirm that consultations have been going on between the Speakers of the two Houses and assure ...

4 Oct 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg that you indulge me to seek further clarification on this very important matter. As the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations contemplates bringing the Statement, I would have to also include two aspects. The first one is what measures the Government put in place in all our universities to ensure that our children are safe while at college, going home and coming back to college. The second aspect is that the Senate Minority Leader has spoken to the issue of compensation of the family. Could he also come armed with ...

4 Oct 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that the Vice Chair has heard you. The rules of the House are that the House does not speak in vain. Therefore, it is up to her to either come when she is ready or promise when she will have the balance of my clarification. I was just concluding by saying that in the case of Mr. Solomon Muruli who died several years ago, the Government representatives in the House told us that they would compensate the family, but the compensation has not been made to date. If the Vice Chair has an answer, ...

4 Oct 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the country will remember that sometime last year, a similar problem arose at the University of Eldoret in respect of an attempt by Sen. Melly - our colleague here - trying to eject Prof. Agenga because she was a Luhyia. The Chair of the Committee worked on it and we got a satisfactory answer. Could the Chair come armed with the results of the investigations into that particular incidence because my fear is that Governor Mandago, having seen Sen. Melly get away with it, thought he could apply the same standard against Prof. Ayiro? Because of ...

14 Sep 2016 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In this House, we have the rule of admissibility of documents. Usually, the Speaker is given an opportunity to make a determination before he allows evidence by way of documents to be tabled. I do not know how you will handle the issue of the video; that, you admit it before you have an idea what the video contains. Given that these proceedings are taking place in public, you might have to be careful in making a decision because once the damage is done – the video is played – even if ...
