• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of that, it is important that I set the HANSARD record correct by reading the proper Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my Motion will, therefore, read:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 98 (4), the Senate resolves that each speech in a debate on a Bill or Report of a Committee, including a Report of a Joint Committee of the Houses of Parliament, be limited as follows:- A maximum of sixty (60) minutes for the mover in moving and thirty (30) minutes in replying, and a maximum of fifteen (15) minutes for any ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very important issue. Is the distinguished Senator in order to mislead the whole country on coalitions and the Political Parties Act when she knows very well that the only coalition which you are forced by law to stick with is the one which was existing before the elections? For coalitions that come after elections, a Senator, a Member of Parliament, a Member of the County Assembly is not under any force of law to stay there. Please, she had better avoid misleading the country. The country can think ... view

• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Orengo’s grandmother is a Luhya and so, he knows what I am talking about. I was just saying: “To all the people of Bungoma, thank you so much.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had stopped at the point where I was saying that it gave me an opportunity to understand what people say; that all politics is local. Because of the local dynamics that we share with Sen. Wetangula, it put me to a great risk with my status as Senator in this country; because I had to choose between toeing the so-called party line and addressing the most important thing, which is “all politics is local.” Just to affirm what Sen. Wako said, the fact that I had taken over his position, it did not make me ... view
• 25 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that while you were trying to give us a bit of time to ventilate so as to make a proper decision, the hon. Senator has chosen to reduce it to an ethnic matter. This is about the decency, integrity and the seriousness placed on the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. With all due respect, even the Luhya have their traditional regalia and if we choose to bring here traditional regalia, there are even those who might choose to come here half naked, and the Standing Orders insist that ... view

• 25 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I want to thank the Leader of Majority along with the Leader of Minority for seeing wisdom in retaining the same list that we had last session. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had an opportunity to sit in the House Business Committee in the last Parliament and there were times when we could come down to the Floor of the main Chamber when we do not have business but in spite of the teething problems of a new Senate, this Committee over the last session has ensured that on every day that we ... view
• 25 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I know the rule of relevance, but I started by begging you and the whole House, just as I congratulated them on the vote that we took, for me to make a synopsis into the performance of the Judiciary. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was concluding that the pending cases--- view
