• 18 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. G.G, whom we respect a lot because of his age and experience, to assert that all of us who have spoken before him, have not based our contributions on facts and are merely criticizing? We are informed debaters. Is he in order to cast aspersions against us? If he is not casting aspersions, could he withdraw and apologize? view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the point of order raised by Sen. Wetangula is very important. If it helps Members, in the Constitution of the United States of America (USA), one of the qualifications of becoming a Senator is for you to produce a birth certificate and confirm that you are 35 years and above. Since the drafters of our Constitution were so generous as to allow our youth to come to this serious House, we expect them to live by the African saying that: “When a child washes his hands, he caneat from the same table with adults”. We claim ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a further point of order in respect of what has been raised by Sen. Wetangula. If the Chair allowed the Senate Leader of Majority to read the answer to the full, it is only fair that we should commend you for having allowed the Senator for Nairobi to also articulate his side of the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, protect me from Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Junior. I am making a very important point. I was supporting Sen. Sonko all along. However, the things he is quoting are the same ones he has approached the High Court with and they are triable issues. If we allow him to proceed, given that, on the strength of those issues, he has been given interim orders, we will be breaking the sub judice rule. I beg that you make a determination on that one. view

• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I listened to the response by the Senate Majority Leader and the difficulty, as contained in the complaint by Sen. ole Ntutu and Sen. Bule cannot be cured by what we are persuading the House to do. This is because according to the rules of procedure, you cannot amend that list in reference to any committee. We either approve or reject it as it is. So, if you think that you have been unfair to any quarters, then the best thing that you can do is to withdraw the debate to another day, go and sort it ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Utterances from Sen. Kiraitu are taken so seriously, not just because he is a Senator, but he is a very senior lawyer in this country and party leader of the Bus Party. The practice that Sen. Kiraitu is referring to is the Westminster practice, and that is parliamentary. For purposes of record, let the country know that we are no longer in a parliamentary system, but a presidential system. So, what is done in the House of Commons and House of Lords The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion and if there was any doubt in the minds of the members of the public especially the media that this Senate is not working well with the Lower House, then this is evidence that we are working very well. This is the new spirit whereby the Speaker of the National Assembly having read and interpreted Article 127(b) that one man and one woman appointed by Parliament, he has correctly allowed the procedure to be concluded at the Lower House and referred the matter to this House and because they unanimously ... view
