• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank you for coming to the immediate defence of the Senate Minority Leader. However, are you confirming that the confirmed ever absence of Sen. Sonko is with your leave? Could you confirm that because the Constitution is very clear on what is expected of you if--- view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to confirm that it is true that those consultations have been held and we have concurred with the request by the Senate Majority Leader. However, on that very important issue, all Kenyans who subscribe to the Islamic faith or have Muslim friends or relatives are today observing Eid Ul Fitr; they are on holiday. Could the Senate Majority Leader tell Kenyans what informed the Government not to make today a holiday instead of tomorrow? No Muslim will be on holiday tomorrow. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is very serious business. Yesterday, the moon was sighted in Tanzania and Kenya during the day and an announcement and a communique was made to the country to that effect. Why did the Government, upon receiving that communique from the Islamic faith, not give them today to celebrate and be joined by us? Today is the most important day to them. If they have no reason, then the least they can do is to apologise. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given that laws are not applied retrogressively. The House remembers that we passed that formula and until the National Assembly concurred, it had not assumed the full force of law. The House should also remember that the revenue for horizontal sharing of sharable revenue was passed in this House before this law came into force. Is it my understanding that this formula will not apply to the current financial year given that this law has now assumed the full force of law and it is coming at a time when the horizontal ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second this Motion. I want to agree with the Senate Majority Leader (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) that this is purely a Procedural Motion that has given entitlement to both sides of the House in accordance with the traditions of this House. Therefore, there would be no reason whatsoever for the opposition to contest it. I second. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second this very important Amendment Bill. I also thank the Senate Majority Leader high as he sits in the echelons of power for acknowledging that I am his senior. However, he should not be modest but he should also admit that I am his senior in marriage and senior in getting children. In fact, I have a granddaughter and a grandson. I am very senior indeed. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I second, I think there is room for me to request the Senate Majority Leader to send my greetings and the greetings of the people of Kakamega County to the CS for Education, Dr. Fred Matiang’i. However, much as we appreciate the good work he is doing, he should also be measured. He should not be overzealous to direct that my wife cannot go to school to pray for my child when they are preparing to sit examinations. That is to allocate himself powers that he can never have. Why does he want to stop our ... view

This Petition is in respect of the important and urgent matter of the leasing of Buffalo Springs and Shaba Game reserves by the Isiolo County Government. Allow me to put it on record that this Petition is in respect to a matter which lies before the County Assembly of Isiolo. They made a decision that the lease of these two game reserves be stayed, but ... view
