• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have heard you very well. You are the eyes and the head of this House. I request you to go and explore the best way forward with your counterpart in the National Assembly. We, as Senate, find it very difficult to agree that after Article 110(3) of the Constitution has been overlooked, side-stepped and violated, we then go ahead as if those three things have not happened.

• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to help the House by confirming that since this matter was brought before you, nothing has been done. On the same day that the matter came up, Sen. Khaniri and I sought further clarification from the Chair, to confirm to us that the issues canvassed had been brought by a Committee of this House and the whole House had then made its decision. We sought whether there was still room for us to do further pursuit. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that clarification has not come and that is why we did not move ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the House will recall that in the first financial year, we allocated West Pokot County Kshs3.5 billion. The following year, they received Kshs.47 billion. For purposes of the people of West Pokot in particular and Kenyans in general, who cannot accept a child dropping out of school because of hunger or dying due to lack of food, it would help if the Vice Chairman, in his statement, could tell us how much money this county government voted for food. How much of the emergency fund that is in that budget has been committed to this particular ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. I do so in very good faith because of procedure. Whereas the Standing Orders give us the power to alter our calendar, we want to do so with good reason. I am glad that the Senate Deputy Majority Leader has given us a very good reason; that, what is the point of wasting money, confusion of going and gazetting the sitting for that day and what not and then you come back to receive the Presidential Address. It is a valid reason so, I support. However, as I support--- view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, could you protect me from young Cheruiyot? view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sorry. The newly elected distinguished Senator for Kericho. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I hope that the good reason that the Senate Deputy Majority Leader has given will give us an opportunity to listen to the President who will realise that the role that he will be discharging on Thursday is in Article 132 of the Constitution. It is expected that once every year the President addresses these Houses. However, it is wrong for the President to respect one part of the Constitution – addressing us once every year – and forget that the very reason why he is addressing us is because he wants to report ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope that you will protect me from being gagged by Sen.Murungi, who knows that I respect him most abundantly. In fact, in our other lives, we share very many things. Let him not intimidate me. I must be allowed to enjoy freedom of expression especially while on the Floor of the Senate. However, let me persuade my senior to bear with me. I was simply addressing the very reason why we are changing the calendar of Parliament. He said that the reason is that we want to come and listen to the President. By the ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am glad that you have given us the opportunity to appreciate the visit by the young people from Mogotio Girls High School. I was going to be disappointed if we would not have been given the same latitude we were given when Alliance High School was here. I congratulate them. As I welcome them, I want to remind colleagues that these children have come here to learn. Is it too late for us, as leaders of this country, to learn from other practices elsewhere? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have been having cases ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Have you noticed or rather has it occurred to you that we have postponed Motion No.11 that was supposed to be moved by the Leadership of this House, Motion No.12 that was supposed to be moved by the Chairperson from the Jubilee Government and Motion No.13 which was supposed to be moved by the Deputy Speaker, Sen. Kembi-Gitura? If it is the Leadership of the House that frustrates--- view
