• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order was not meant to be an affront to you. I am fully aware of the ruling you made on a similar point of order when I raised it in the last Session. You acquitted yourself very well and said that the three minutes you have been late included the time you started walking from the office up to here. However, this is a whooping seven minutes. Maybe there could be a better explanation so that the dignity of this House and the institution of Parliament is upheld. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Khaniri for this very important request. It is important that the whole country knows especially the Senate which are these two hospitals in each county view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On this very important Statement, allow me to request further that the chairperson also tells the country, in this printing of the currency, what type of contract is being used? This is because the last Parliament was approached by the Government requesting that Parliament gives its concurrence so as to allow the Government go into a joint venture of printing currency with De La Rue of Great Britain. This was occasioned after a scandal of Kshs1.8 billion was discovered. Could he tell us under what arrangement currency is now being printed? Is ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that I am a Member of the Committee. Through you, I wish to request the Senate Majority Leader to communicate this to the Chair of the Committee, because I have an interest having asked the question. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I feared conflict of interest. In that case, with your permission, I will communicate within the hour from now. I anticipate that this question could be answered within three weeks, because it is a very weighty issue. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement should also include a response to the concern of Kenyans whether the Government has ever done an audit on the fate of the property especially land that was owned by the IDPs. We would like to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 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
