• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of the freedom of thought that is enjoyed in this House and also as provided for in the Constitution, I should exhaust what I am saying for the reason that the country which is now following my discussion might not be on the same page like most Members of this House. 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
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion as moved by the Sen. Wako. It looks like there is an attempt to address me properly. For record purposes, may I make it clear that my name is Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale, MP, CHG, MBS, Senator for Kakamega County. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with the permission of the national party leader of the Forum for the Restoration of Democracy in Kenya (FORD), I am also the de facto deputy party leader. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I compliment you for being poetic. I did not know that a doctor can have such talents. Congratulations. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the need for this kind of a Bill occurred to me after the frustration I got in UDF. I thought we needed to call to order the behaviour of small and big parties so that they operate within the law. This backed the thought that led to the need for this amendment. I owe it to this House that approved it. Secondly, I also thank the Member of Parliament for Kiminini, Hon. (Dr.) Chris Wamalwa of FORD-Kenya for having the same thinking in the National Assembly. I also thank Sen. Wako for ably leading the mediation ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I quickly withdraw because little did I imagine that, that is what I was going to do. In my understanding of the English language - which I have a command of - I saw no offence in that remark, but the hon. Senator does not have to understand it the way I thought he should. If he has understood it negatively, I withdraw and apologise. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I just want to encourage my younger brother that running a political party is a very difficult thing. If you asked any of the political party leaders ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: In fact, let me pronounce it properly. Sen. Cheruiyot. It will give upcoming politicians like Sen. Cheruiyot an opportunity to think of converting their political cloud into a political party because we will not always agree with leaders of political parties. Because I am sharing an experience, let me tell him that I am happy that next year I will be running on FORD-Kenya, a party that taught me politics and a party that resonates with the spirits of the kind of people who admire my politics. It was very painful because of poor leadership at the top. I was ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Elachi was looking at me in a manner likely to suggest that I used unparliamentary language. That notwithstanding, it will go a long way to help, so that when the number one party with less than 20 per cent wants to build up enough support in the second round to attain 50 per cent plus 1, we will look for serious partners at the right time. That is neither here nor there. We can test it on another son of this country who sooner or later might actualise the futuristic thinking that I have in ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did you hear Sen. Elachi mislead the country that she got 1.1 million votes when the APK did not have a presidential candidate? Is she riding on the votes of the TNA? view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have captured it correctly. I thought she meant she got 1.1 million national votes. If she meant the aggregate of votes that she got, then even my former United Democratic Forum (UDF) Party did far much better than them. view
