• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am now dealing with (b); about nurses. The one of yesterday has been put on the Order Paper because you had directed that today Senators be allowed to ventilate on it and that is (a). I am just presenting (b). They have asked me to draw the attention of the Senate to the following:- 1.

• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed under the Standing Orders, the onus of that particular intervention now falls upon the Members. So, they are free, if they are ready, to make their comments. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet in order to mislead the House when, in fact, on the nurses’ and clinical officers’ petitions, they have attached their signatures and indicated their names, staff enrolment number and the county from which they work?

But this is a good opportunity for us to give Kenyans the impression that the Senate is prepared to listen to their petitions, accommodate all their thoughts and then walk them through the Constitution and provisions of the other Statute books. view

So, it is important that he brings a statement to persuade us to agree with him that there is merit in what he is saying. They need to lay a statement on the ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.43 to request for a Statement on the state of the sugar industry and cane farming in Kenya, within the dynamics of market forces in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Chairman to include the following clarifications:- 1. Whether the Government is aware that the sugar sector is at the risk of impending lifting of COMESA safeguard measures that have been cushioning Kenyan sugar from cheap imports from COMESA member States. 2. What has the Government done to ensure that ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: Indeed, for record purposes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it came to your office at 9.00 in the morning. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: And it is usually two hours; so, the assumption--- view
