• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am concluding. It is consistent with the behaviour of a boy. It is up to him to raise his stature to be above the stature of boys. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, for that reason--- view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I therefore, with those words, withdraw and apologise. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I thank the Senate Majority and Senate Minority leaders for having created a middle ground that has enabled us to move forward. As I thank them, I am even more glad to note that Sen. Okong’o is a proposed Member of the reconstituted Committee. To my mind, this removes any hard feelings that our colleague might have had for initially having missed out on the Committee. I just have two comments. The first one is to my colleagues in the Committee – I am still sitting on it – and ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want us to remember procedure that the Speaker does not see. The Speaker is prompted to see. I am worried. Who prompted the Speaker for him to demand that Sen. Wetangula substantiates his claim that appointments were made of seven officers. Five of them were given to one community and another two to another community? The Chair’s demand is fair, but who demanded for that substantiation? If that is the case, do you think that your directive that Sen. Wetangula comes with that list next week still holds? view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have not bothered to go through the Standing Orders. However, Standing Order No.1, speaks to traditions, customs and usages. That has been our tradition and custom in this House. It is important 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
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It will help the Senate Majority Leader to note that he stepped in when we were almost at the end of this point of order. It has been well calculated, debated and directions have been issued by the Chair that substantiations are to be made on Tuesday, next week. However, when the Senate Minority Leader rose, he said that since there is a Board to be established by the Bill, he hopes that the new membership will be based on the face of Kenya. Therefore, the Senate Minority Leader need not ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, our understanding during this debate was that the Senator for Tharaka-Nithi stood to challenge the information I had given Sen. Wetangula. If he rose to challenge that information, he should have told us what is wrong or that there is a lie in this list of the board of directors of the National Oil Board, and that we are misleading the nation. I have read out actual names of qualified Kenyans from only two communities. What is wrong with it? You should rule him out of order because he has not sufficiently--- view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am glad that, finally, the Leader of Majority has seen the wisdom of sitting in the Chamber, but unfortunately, my pleasure is quickly eroded by his own confession that he did not come to listen to the debate but because he was provoked by a Kenyan that there was an interesting debate going on in the House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, may I inform him under parliamentary practice the meaning of “May the mover respond”, means that the mover, throughout the report has been listening to the contributions, now he is responding--- Sisi ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not intend to impute any improper motive on the Leader of the Majority who is my leader in this House. But I wanted to remind him that there is meaning to that phrase “May the mover respond”. One of the best leaders of the majority in the history of this country was Martha Karua when she was the leader of Government Business. She painstakingly did her work so much that she ended up having a condition called lumbago. They had to create a special sit for her because she had sat in the Chamber ... view
