28 Jun 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker Sir, I want to confirm that unlike you and Sen. Murkomen, I have never been into a law class, but there is something I know, which is that, he who holds the weapon that led to the death, through that vision of a human being, in English, he is called a murderer. So, this is the policeman, who pulled the trigger in broad daylight. He is therefore a murderer. Is it by chance that the police officer is called Serem and he could be coming from Elgeyo Marakwet? Could you declare your interest?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in welcoming the delegations from Nandi and Kakamega counties. I wish to leave them with one word. During our sitting this morning, we found that in Elgeyo-Marakwet County Assembly there was no record of the proceedings of the Assembly during the supplementary budget. It is important for the staff, especially from Kakamega County, to know the critical role that they play. This morning we found very damaging evidence about the Kakamega County Assembly. We want you to guard your records jealously because they will be useful to us and the courts so as ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank you for that communication. As you said, our understanding is that when a Bill goes to either House from the other House, the primary intention is to seek concurrence. However, the pattern that has emerged is that when a Bill comes from the National Assembly, the level of debate here is such that we normally do it in absolute good faith. It is disturbing me that most of our Bills that go to the National Assembly not only take too long, but when they end up being debated, there is ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. Just a small clarification. The Chair knows that the Committee has gone through the issues more thoroughly than us, but he owes us a small explanation. Is there any reason New Clause 9A (1) does not read “the process of approval of an agreement shall commence from either House?” Is there any reason you have said it must be the National Assembly?

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I want to apologize must profusely. I was consulting none other than the Senate Minority Leader and the Senate Majority Leader. These are critical officers in the House.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. The way I understand Sen. Musila, he is asking at what point a House will call for closure. If we put a clause of 30 days and the National Assembly does not respect the 30 days, you will then tell the Senate to take up the process because of the expiry of 30 days. When you take it back, what insurance do we put in to ensure that the House then calls for closure? That is the clarity that we are looking for. If you could help us a little bit.

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I was just giving thanks to God. We would have lost our colleague. He was going to die for nothing, just like Jesus. You were actually standing up for the truth; that the Deputy President (DP) will not be supported by Mt. Kenya in 2022. Be strong for saying the truth. The country is feeling you.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Are we not voting on the amendment Bill to the Natural Resources (Classes of Transactions Subject to Ratification) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 54 of 2015)? If we are, all Bills that are debated in the Senate concern counties. Therefore, voting must be by county delegations. Just be guided. We are voting to an amendment Bill. It cannot be a voice vote.
