Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the small girl was waiting for me to say that the grandfather looks very smart today unlike the other time when he was wearing strange things but that is---

18 Mar 2014 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Sir. For the sake of his granddaughter, I apologize profusely. Regarding the issue of corruption, it is good that the President has decided to start it today during the launch of the strategic plan. It is so important that we all, as a nation, agree that our problem is not the wage bill. Our problem is the inability to provide leadership in making sure that we seal the loopholes of corruption where we lose over Kshs300 billion every financial year. I am hoping that under the leadership of hon. Mungatana, he will take the trouble to ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Beatrice in order to mislead the country? The vision of the Jubilee Government, in your manifesto, was that you wanted to turn our economy into a 24-hour economy. How the hell are you going to turn it into a 24-hour economy when you have now imposed a ban on night travel by buses?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what is not in order, with all due respect to the hon. Senator, is that she is misleading us. Those are her thoughts. Those are the mandarins that control State House that have made it impossible for the President to---

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Are the two Senator in order to force the location of the refinery at Isiolo when no residents of Turkana and the rest of their sympathizers across the Republic have been involved in deciding that it should not be in Turkana? Are they in order?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The point of order I am rising on is not for or against what Sen. Wetangula has said. I am just requesting the Chair that very important points have been canvassed on the issue of the location of the refinery. Maybe using Standing Order No.1, could the Chair consider that the Government be forced to seek leave of the Senate and with the concurrence of the National Assembly on where it is going to site the refinery because the old corrupt Cabinet that made that decision seems to have come to ...

On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senator is perfectly right when she says that the real problem is corruption. For her knowledge, I think she would be happy to note that the ones who were involved in the Japan Embassy scandal are before court and none of them is the former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Moses Wetangula.

18 Mar 2014 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the Government needed any reminder that whatever is going on is very dangerous, and then they should remember the Presidential Debate in the United States of America (USA). One of the questions that are posed to the presidential candidates is; what is his policy or stand on matters of science, teaching, research and technology? If you do not get it right, Americans start fearing that you may not move the frontier of development of the USA. It is, therefore, important, for the Government to know that this is a national catastrophe and that all our ...

18 Mar 2014 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. (Prof.) Lesan has said something very important; that the current Cabinet Secretary was part of the team that made the mess. Could he, under the rules of procedure, substantiate so that we conclude the case of this Professor, who seems to have been the cause of the problem? The rules require that he substantiates.
