• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Listening to what my colleagues have made by way of contribution, I realize indeed that two heads are better than one. There are many things which were never in my mind when I was making this draft, but after listening to colleagues, they have deepened it and, therefore, made it even more mandatory for me to be prepared when we go into the Third Reading of this Bill, to try and accommodate the positive contributions that they have made. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first thing I would like to deal with, having thanked ... view

• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My response to that is that by moving this Bill, I was responding to the decision of the Rules and Business Committee. The Rules and Business Committee, having listed this Bill, is satisfied that due process was applied. That is a comment that can be directed elsewhere and not at me. I was just drawing your attention, Sen. G.G. Kariuki, to Standing Order No.130 which says: A Bill, having been read a first time shall stand committed to the relevant Committee without a question being put.” That was done in this House. I have ... view

• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.1 (i).

• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, why I am citing this particular Standing Order is because of what you have directed; that you allow the House to ventilate to an extent. There would be no reason why you cannot do that, but I want to urge the Chair, that for the respect of the rule of law, for you to restrain yourself because Standing Order No.1 (i) is only asking you to proceed the way you are proceeding if it is not provided for but this is provided for under Standing Order No.68 (4). If then you choose to proceed that way, which ... view

• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am rising on this point of order in order to clarify further what I meant in view of the understanding by Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. This is where experience comes in. This country remembers that after the elections of 2007, during the swearing, it became extremely difficult for us to move either forward, backwards or sideways. What saved the House on that day – you were there – was Standing Order No.1 (ii) which then referred, as you will remember, to the traditions and usages and so on. It saved the situation and the swearing-in was able ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Professorial as he is, I beg him only for today to acknowledge that he has no experience whatsoever on how Standing Orders can save a national crisis. We must treat these Standing Orders just in the same way you treat any other statute on the shelves that you teach students. I beg that you find him out of order. view
