• 16 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not think it is helpful in any way for the Senate Majority Leader to impute an improper motive against my background. I would like that he apologizes and withdraws the unnecessary remark. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, are you saying that you are in agreement with the Senate Majority Leader? If, indeed, you are in agreement then may you rule that we have a session where we shall be given an opportunity to lay our resumes on the Table of this House? view

• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on the same point of order. I would like the request to be extended to include the killings that took place at Nangili Shopping Centre in Likuyani Constituency of Kakamega County and those that took place at Nalondo in Kabuchai Constituency in Bungoma County where businessmen were gunned down. KILLING OF 12 PEOPLE IN NYANYA VILLAGE, KITUI COUNTY view
• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Our Deputy Speaker has a right to stand on that point of order and you cannot take that away from him. However, is he in order to attempt to do the work of the Chair of the Committee? I find him completely out of order to attempt to answer the issues raised by the Senator for Marsabit for the simple reason that he is not the Chairman. Is he afraid because he comes from Murang’a which was favoured over many years? view
• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know why we are stuck in the old Constitution. We are under the new Constitution. Prof. Kindiki knows that in a Presidential System, a Member of Parliament cannot pretend to answer a question on behalf of the Executive, irrespective of the background of that Member. It does not matter whether you come from the Government or the Minority party. For this reason, what we would be expecting is for the Chairman of the Committee to table a report of their findings during the process of interviewing the Cabinet Secretary ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You will recall that on 23rd May this year, the Chairman of the Committee on Devolution read here a Statement upon my request for him to assure the House that the Department of Devolution was not created for us to control the county governments. He gave a very good answer and he went ahead and assured us that the Cabinet Secretary was going to purely serve on an advisory role. The same Cabinet Secretary that he was referring to has been reported to have directed that before the end of this week, ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order where I am requesting that you give a directive because I am not seeking a Statement from the chairman, I am just on a point of order to seek for your direction. The same Cabinet Secretary is reported to have directed all the county governments to deposit, before the end of this week, their budget proposals in her office. When I look at this, it is a direct mirror image of what the defunct Ministry of Local Government used to do to local authorities. I find that this directive has ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am alive to the fact that the rules of debate do not allow us to refer to media reports. All that I said in plain English language was that it has been reported. If my county government has reported to me and another county government has also reported to me as a Senator of the Republic of Kenya, then it is reported. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Senate Majority Leader has assured us that the reason there has been a delay is because they wanted to come with a considered opinion which to me is acceptable. That being the case, could he come here with a comprehensive statement because the Senate cannot sit here and watch while the Government is sitting and killing the economy of any county? The Government of the late President Kenyatta, former President Moi, and--- view
