• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: In fact, when you look at the Order Paper today, we now have as many as 10 Bills that we lack the time to deal with. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for those who thought that the Senate was just an appendage in this Parliament; they now have an opportunity to start seeing us working. We would like to encourage the Senate Majority Leader. PING PONG ON CONCURRENCE OF BILLS BY THE OTHER HOUSE But having said that, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like, with your permission; I am still waiting for the communication from the Chair, where you promised us ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Kiraitu is just not an ordinary politician in this country because there is quite a number of firsts about him. He was the first person from Mt. Kenya area to be elected on a FORD-Kenya ticket. Sen. Kiraitu broke ranks with Mt. Kenya and joined us in the second liberation. Sen. Kiraitu was the Minister for Constitutional Affairs in this country. So, when he says in a very flowery language that the Cabinet Secretary for Education respects the Constitution and is very competent in all those words that he used, is ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet wanted to set the record clean, in the same legislation that he is referring to, in the issue of conflict of laws, it is clear that national legislation prevails over county legislation and “a” and “b” give the reasons. It goes as far as No.3 and tells us that the following Commission is referred to in Clauses 2. Could you tell us what you make of that and especially in the meaning of the hierarchy of laws? view

• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want to set the record clear and without any prejudice. While discharging my duties as the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, I approached this House in the last Parliament and we lost the vote. I did not clear anybody and so to give the impression that I cleared the perpetrators in the corrupt deals of maize is to assume that I was part of that group of parliamentarians that eventually defeated my Motion. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senate Leader of Majority is saying that my only problem with this Bill which I qualified was my refusal that we cannot remove the exemption for drinking at Parliament and in the military barracks. He should not give that impression because I spoke for the whole period qualifying why we needed to amend. I have many reservations including a provision here that bars be opened from 5.00 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. when we are still in the gym. We have not even started to go drinking. I cannot support that. I ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senate, just like the National Assembly, is a House of traditions, strong traditions and etiquette. Did you notice that the Senate Minority Leader, who for all purposes is the leader of the Opposition, has approached the Dispatch Box and spoken from the position of the Government Side? Is it permissible in our practice that the Senate Minority Leader can speak from there and the Senate Majority Leader can speak from our side? Is it our practice? Could we set the record clear? We are very much worried that we might ... view

• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Last night, I was rang by the Office of the Clerk and asked to prepare myself with regard to Motion No.15, just in case the preceding Motions did not take off. So, if for any reasons Order No.14 cannot take off, I have not been consulted on whether I am ready or not. view
