• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: You will have your say. It is called debate. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, with all due respect, sometimes I measure my words very carefully. I did not intend to impute any improper motive on my junior colleague, Sen. Wamatangi. It will help you to remember that a Member of Parliament defines two sets of leaders in this country; a Senator and a Member of the National Assembly. So, by seniority I was not referring to Senator; I was referring to Member of Parliament, which we all are. If you are still in doubt about that seniority, let us leave it to the gallery. The observers will judge whether in the ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to oppose the Motion for Adjournment not because it is against the Standing Orders, but because whereas the Standing Orders provide that Sen. Murkomen can move that kind of Motion at any time, the reasons advanced for the adjournment do not merit support. This Motion, as correctly reported to the House by Sen. Elachi and the Senate Minority Leader, was drafted and approved by the Speaker at a session Chaired by the Speaker – the same one who approved – the leadership of this House drawn from both sides of the House sat, debated and ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Madam Temporary Speaker. Because of the record, maybe you need to be clearer. The Motion which we have all supported is that the debate be adjourned. But your communication is leaving the impression that by adjourning, we have referred the Motion to the RBC. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there was no Motion before this House asking the leave of the House that this Motion be referred to RBC. That is a totally different Motion. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate on 22th October, 2015 resolved to establish a Select ad hoc Committee on Prisons and Borstal Institutions consisting of 11 Senators to inquire into the rights of detained persons and persons held in custody and other imprisoned persons under the law; REQUIRING Parliament to enact legislation to provide for human treatment of such persons with due regard to the relevant international human rights instruments and report back to the House within three months of its establishment; REALISING that the three month period lapsed on the 25th February, ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank my two colleagues who have found time to contribute to this important procedural Motion. Before I conclude, I want to register my thanks to all the civil servants who have come before the Committee beginning with the Attorney-General and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) as I had said earlier when I was moving the Motion. I also want to register my appreciation, on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee, to the warm reception we continue to receive from prisons and borstal institutions that we have been visiting. I look forward to similar receptions ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank you for that communication. However, I would like to bring to your attention that if there is a Public Relations Office (PRO) in the Senate, it should address this matter. The Governors of Vihiga and Kakamega counties on several occasions, including last Saturday, continued misinforming residents of their counties and Kenyans in general, that this Senate has no role whatsoever in this very exercise that you have just read out in your communication. I do not understand why the PRO of the Senate is quiet on such serious allegations by ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just to set the record straight; is it not my expectation that in the absence of all the people you have listed, then you would fall back to any Chairperson of a Committee, who would then pass that information to a fellow Chairperson, in the same manner as in old system where a Minister would then pass over the information to another Minister? The issue of bringing in a Member of the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) needs to be made clear. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the executive is doing this aware of the expectation of the voters and that the President was elected to deliver goodies to his county and the region in general. However, at best, this is nothing but a grandiose intention by the Jubilee Government. They dare say that they are looking for a financier of a non-priority project. If they want to prioritise volume of traffic and impact on the economy, they would have started with the Mombasa-Nairobi and Nairobi-Malaba Road before going to the road in question. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
