• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. In any Motion, it is at times very difficult to gauge whether many Members will be interested in taking a bite of the cherry. Therefore, when we allow too much time for one speaker especially on an important matter like this one, you disadvantage many of us. I support this Motion so that as many of us as possible can contribute. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to make a very brief remark. First, it should occur to the leadership of this House that they coordinate with the office of the President. The two occasions that the President has addressed us, he has kept us in the Chamber for too long. Parliament is a place where we keep time and it is important that the Presidential protocol is accordingly urged to respect time. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is a buildup on what Sen. Orengo said about the nation coming together. In the previous Parliaments, on the day of opening of ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. On this very important issue of fighting corruption, it is important that all of us, as leaders, come together so that public money is put to public good. It is common knowledge to all Kenyans that it is only the Cabinet Secretaries who stepped aside but there were many people, including governors who were asked to step aside and they did not and yet the Government has got the monopoly of force. Even if the Government does not want to use the monopoly of force, which it has, it has the ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am dwelling on this point passionately because we, Kenyans, want to see returns on what the President pronounces during the Joint Sitting of Parliament. This is the equivalent of the State of the Union Address by the President of the United States of America. I want to speak on behalf of those people who, during the President’s Address, were singled out on issues of corruption and they were marked to the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC). They are still being dragged in investigations--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was going to the climax of my point, which I finish by saying, the EACC as sent by the President to investigate, should investigate cases on first-come-first served basis. Why are those people still being dragged during investigations and they are paid, and issues of Eurobond and Ann Waiguru have been fast-tracked so as to clear them? I support the Motion. view

• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to request the Chair – in view of the contribution by Sen. (Dr.) Zani – that you weigh one of the provisions in the Bill as you make a ruling on my request on interpretation. There is a provision that nomination be given to the same beneficiary twice. That is being nominated for a minimum of 10 years. That is a major statement which will require that all the women out there, who also want a chance to be nominated, participate in the decision making. view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank you for the view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: and also wish colleagues a happy new year. Next year, when we will commence the final Session, I look forward to you making a similar announcement. However, how I wish that you task the office of the Clerk to do a follow-up with the Executive, so that during such a Communication we are also told the status of implementation of some of the important resolutions that we make as House, both in terms of how we have challenges with the National Assembly, but more importantly, how the Executive implements our resolutions to communicate with the country, that we do not ... view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Senator for Nyandarua County appeal to you to adjourn the House for at least 30 minutes so that further consultations can be done by the Senate Majority Leader? I once heard a Speaker of a previous House rule that the Chair cannot be used to sort out political party matters. My understanding is that regarding the membership of this Committee, a decision is made by the party or the coalition. Why would the Member want to drag our Speaker into political party matters? If the Jubilee Coalition, in ... view
