• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You had given me the Floor in respect of the directive that came from the Chairperson yesterday that I substantiate my allegations yesterday to the effect that the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has, in the last three years, been presiding over disproportionate hiring of members of staff in the PSC. Upon being directed, I proceeded under the provisions of Article 35 of the Constitution of Kenya--- view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. That information has been passed over to me. I thought that at this point, I should report to the House the status of what is going on. I do not want to be held responsible tomorrow for that which does not lie within my jurisdiction. Just in conclusion, I moved under Article 35(1)(a) and (b) of the Constitution and approached the Clerk so that I could get an authenticated list of the names that constitute people who have been employed in the years 2013, 2014 and 2015. I was then asked by the Clerk to ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not reopening what you ruled out. I am merely using this point of order to table the letter lest somebody thinks that I was running away from that responsibility. I now table the letter and confirm that I still stand by my Statement of yesterday, and that upon being given the list by the Clerk, I will table it in this House.

• 28 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas we have religiously been giving our concurrence to Bills like the one you have just read, could you also clarify what has happened to our Message which we took there last year in respect of the amendment Bill which was passed in this House on the Political Parties Act, that was intended to change the sharing of the political parties funds? I am reliably informed by the Senate Minority Leader that there are attempts to introduce a similar Bill. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, further to that question, I would like the Chairperson to clarify the following: Now that it is evident that the Executive is interested in the registration of voters and that they are actively participating in it, could he clarify whether this is the reason the continuous registration of voters, as provided for under the Constitution, is apparently taking place only in pro-Government areas? In the Opposition areas, we only hear about it, but we do not see the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits. We do not know where this registration is taking place. Could he clarify? view
• 28 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek clarification on that very important matter. I would like to point out the fact that the Chairman should also tell us what action will be taken against the spokesperson of State House for having misled the country that the cancellation was as a result of security reasons on the route. A Kenya Airways, KQ310 that took off 15 minutes after the presidential jet completed its flight to Dubai. Three more Emirate flights that night also completed the same route. There was also one more Kenyan airline whose ... view
• 28 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek leave to move that the Senate do now adjourn.

• 28 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, that is what I was doing. I rise under Standing Order No. 33(1) to seek leave to move that the Senate now adjourn. This is to enable this Senate to debate the state of security in Parliament and in our universities, given reports that these institutions have become the focus and targets for attacks by Al Shabaab.
