• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: The Statement on contracts of upgrading these roads to bitumen standards. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have to wade into this issue because of the farmers. Farmers are very small people. Given that when you were last at the supermarket you saw rice from Egypt and Pakistan on the shelves; is it right for us to sit back and keep on giving the Chairman time to say he is not ready now when we know that one of the Cabinet Secretaries is very busy today fighting for another Bill where they want to collapse all the boards such as the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya (PBK), the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) and ... view

• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Senate, can we allow the Chairman to get away with that? Sen. (Dr.) Machage wants the Government to ensure that those schools that have no capacity to get that kind of credit at the bank do so. The Chairman says his word is bankable. Could he tell us how what he has said here will translate into an order to all banking institutions in the country, so that wherever the schools are, they can access money? This is not a laughing matter. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. (Prof.) Lesan in order to attempt to respond to issues that have been raised by fellow Senators? Is he the Chairman? view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue being canvassed by both Sen. Sang and Sen. Kembi-Gitura might very well be answered by what we did in the last Parliament. You remember that when all these commissions were being constituted, in areas where the Senate was supposed to play a particular role, the Constitution provides in the transition clause that it would be discharged by the National Assembly. So, as far as we are concerned, all the commissions that were constituted were done properly. Our understanding is that whatever the Senate was entitled to was discharged by the National Assembly. Therefore, it is ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the honourable distinguished Senator for Nyeri in order to mislead the House that Sen. Karaba should not demand for the Statement, when Standing Order No.43 (c) is very clear that any Senator can request for a Statement from the chairperson of any committee? That Standing Order does not in any way define the kind of Senator who can ask for a Statement. It simply talks about a Senator; who is a Member or not a Member of the Committee or even one who does not have a Committee like some of us. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before you pronounce yourself on his request, I rise on a point of order, to find out what has become of this Senate. Why is it that it looks like we do not want to discuss Bills? view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are very excited that as soon as this Bill goes through the First Reading, we will have an opportunity, if Order No.8 goes through, to deal with the Bill. We have other Bills which have gone through the First Reading and never come for the Second Reading. I have in mind the Bill by Sen. Sang and the Bill by myself. I think that when we read in the media that the Lower House has done more Bills than the Upper House, where the real custodian of ideas are, it gives the impression that we are ... view
