• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order, conscious of the fact that now this is the final nail. Having religiously gone through the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and, therefore, demonstrated to all and sundry that we are committed to sending money to all our counties, I wish to request Members to think deeply about this. When the Senate passed the Division of Revenue Bill, some hon. Members in the National Assembly and the Executive thought that they could do without the Senate and they ignored us completely. It is now ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so as to send a very clear message to all Kenyans, that the Senate is there forever, and the President can never do without both Houses--- view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.51 (30) to move that the vote on the Third Reading be postponed to another day, to give the President time to reflect on the wrong that he did to the Constitution of Kenya. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order No.51 (3) any Senator can move that a vote be adjourned. I have said that if we adjourn, we will be sending a very clear message that whoever thought we can proceed with only one House, it is not possible. We are not doing this in bad faith, but so that in the next 12 hours or so, the President can reflect on it and realize that in this Senate, we have people who are equal to the task. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted that it be clear on the record, that I jumped the gun. On this point of order, which you have already dealt with, you have now settled my mind. But then allow me to now make my contribution on this matter. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having reflected on this matter overnight until today, I think that it is important that at this stage, when we are passing this law, the country is reminded that there is only one supreme organ in this country. That is the Constitution. Since the Constitution is the one that has given us the process that we are supposed to use, so as to allocate money to the counties, I want to use this opportunity, as I support this Third Reading, to condemn the action taken by all those who unproceduraly disallowed the considerations of the Senate ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: In fact, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many people in this House lost something, small or big, so as to see the current Constitution. We cannot allow one person, however eminent he is under the Constitution, to lord it down on us to the extent of making the people of Kakamega – 250,000 people who believed in me and who voted for me – to think that they elected me to come here and then what I say does not count. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would like them to know that we also--- view
