• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the hon. Deputy Speaker in order to imagine, suggest and mention that I was laughing when I was addressing a grave issue of how the Government failed to protect the lives and properties of Kenyans at Westgate? I was addressing how the Joint Committee of the National Assembly cleared members of the military who clearly looted from Westgate? Could I possibly have been laughing? Probably you should allow us to also remind him the meaning of the word “laughing” in English. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is playing out now and over the last few months that we have been in this House is that it is now clear that no Member of the Committee including the Chair and the Vice-Chair are responsible for whatever we ask them to respond to. It is quite clear that this Committee is not responsible for giving security to Kenyans or ensuring that there is security. I am standing on a point of order to request the Chair that since the House is now having a relook at our Standing Orders, we provide that Cabinet Secretaries ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with you and with the Senate Majority Leader that we cannot challenge the Constitution when repeatedly, in this House, we refer to the same Constitution. We have even gone to the Supreme Court on matters that were vexing between the two Houses. However, should we allow the Senate Leader of Majority to get away with what he is saying; that he does not see any nexus between him and the Chairs of the Committees? The Senate Majority Leader has been given a deputy so that anything that this House expects from the Government, ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader for the Statement that he has just laid on the Table. But I would also like to take this opportunity to ask him to tell us why, for all the months that we have been here, he has been only speaking to the business that is being generated by Senators. Why are you not tabling here business from the Jubilee Government? Why is the Jubilee Government unable to generate business in this House, so that this House can legislate for the county governments of the Republic of Kenya? view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to my colleague from Nyeri, is he in order to put words in my mouth and attempt to say things which I did not say? The import of my request for the Senate Majority Leader--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I, therefore, address the Chair. The import of this is that it has now become clear that as far as generating legislative agenda is concerned, the Jubilee Government is unable and has failed totally. If anything, they should be coming before us and requesting us, as the opposition, to either take over the Government or help them to generate business. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this problem is far much bigger than it looks at the moment, because we are speaking to the issue of education. But we are also aware that these days, because of Module II programme in the admission of students at the universities, even other areas of study are having people with lower marks finding their way into the classrooms. I would like to support the Government on this one because I would be scared to have somebody who failed in mathematics, being trained as a teacher and who attempts to teach the child of a poor person ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: This Statement that Sen. Muthama is seeking was actually the subject in this House last week when we asked about contracts only that we did it in general. We requested for a statement on all the contracts that had been awarded in all the counties. So, I appeal to the Chair if you can harmonize that statement with the one of last week which came from me so that we can get one answer. view
