• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, the matter being raised by the hon. Senator for Bungoma County is so serious because may be, unknown to the Senator, already the tension on the ground is such that some of the local leaders have already addressed the media and stated that this is a political matter. When this kind of death is referred to as being “political”, the senior most politicians from our community are in this Senate; Sen. Wako, Sen. Wetangula, Sen. Khaniri and myself. I am, therefore, saying that the Government must make sure that the question of “political” is not ... view
• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to the Senator, is he in order to state that Nigerians are doing us a lot of good when we know that the cartels of drug trafficking in this country are perpetuated by Nigerians and, in fact, it forced the President to order the deportation of all foreigners but unfortunately to have them re- admitting themselves back into the country. Could he also – if he is convinced that they are doing a good job – use that opportunity to tell us what the President discussed with the Nigerians on the issue of ... view

• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for making the clarification. In fact, I was very concerned about the meaning of Standing Order No.29 (2). Indeed, you have correctly said that this Order gives you the latitude to make a decision on any matter which is urgent and exceptional. I agree with you on this.

• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: I am on a point of order! 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
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is so important. Therefore, I beg the hon. Senators to bear with me. That is besides the memorandum. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other reason which I beg that you find that you cannot permit this Motion is that this Motion, in my view, according to the Constitution, should have been preceded by a report from the President to Parliament showing what he has done to ensure that Kenya meets its international obligations as far as the ICC is concerned. It is only after he has tabled this kind of report, after the two houses have debated ... view

• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we know we are members of the ICC. I know the Chair is busy, but if he had time, he would have found out that as we walked in, this matter is currently and actively going on at the ICC.

I beg that you find that we cannot proceed with this Motion. Thank you. view
