1 Dec 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to request the Chairperson that you disagree with the two weeks requirement because for a patient to be murdered in hospital, it means that all the other patients, not just in KNH but in many other public hospitals will now die possibly of heart attack out of fear that they could be murdered. I, therefore, request that the answer comes forthwith this Thursday. The Committee will have a whole day to work tomorrow and Thursday morning so that we assure all our patients in hospitals that they are protected.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand guided by the precedent that you have set in the case of the earlier Statement. Given that students at all our universities are still in session and we are likely to go on recess, it is important that an interim Statement comes so that we rest the worries of the parents, students themselves, the teaching and non-teaching staff. I request that an interim Statement comes on Thursday.

1 Dec 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to request the House to restrain itself. This is because at this particular juncture, the Senate is not officially aware that Sen. Keter has been appointed. I believe that there is no official communication from the Executive, informing the Senate that a Member of this House has been appointed. If we proceed on the basis of assumption, we will simply be sending a message that the House is excited, feels that it is a small place and, therefore, one of them has left this “small place” and gone to a “big place.” I ...

1 Dec 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg the Chair to indulge me on this one. I do not intend to challenge the Chair. You have guided us under Standing Order No. 1, but I want to draw your attention to Standing Order No. 48(2) in regard to Motions. We are about to discuss a Motion of this House, registering thanks on the appointment of Sen. Keter. The Standing Order says:- “Before giving notice of Motion, the Senator shall deliver to the Clerk a copy of the proposed Motion signed by the Senator, and the Clerk shall submit the proposed Motion to ...

1 Dec 2015 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. You have just read out the result of the Divisions on those four issues. I just wanted you to clarify an issue which the Senate Minority Leader has drawn to my attention that he has consulted there at the table and found that Sen. Kisasa voted for Kilifi delegation. Now, we want confirmation that the leader of the delegation asked her to vote because they happened to be on different sides of the House.

1 Dec 2015 in Senate:
On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. When we were in the Committee the exercise to which we are now reporting to you, a matter arose that requires clarification. As you know, traditions of this House are set by precedence. A precedent has been set whereby a Senator has voted and we have contested, could you also receive the same report so that the same is allowed to be decided on by yourself substantively.
