• 16 May 2013 in Senate: I have not even concluded my point of order--- view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to withdraw the words “mixed up”, so that I make my point. There are two things that Sen. Murkomen is not tying together. Today, the Chair of a Departmental Committee will basically be doing what in the old system the Minister used to do. With his permission, I was encouraging him to hold his horses and wait. When hon. Orengo moves his Motion, if it gets the necessary support and sails through, he is free to later on, away from the eyes of the Speaker, to discuss with Sen. Orengo to take over the ... view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under the provisions of Standing Order No.43(2)(c ) to seek a Statement from the Chair of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations relating to the matter of the nature of the International Criminal Court (ICC) shuttle diplomacy by the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, reportedly commencing today; intended to start with a trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) then proceed to Congo Brazzaville, Gabon, Nigeria and, finally, Algeria. In the statement I seek, I would like the Chair to make the following clarifications: One, whether this is a ... view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, it would be fair if we can endeavour and promote the culture of respect for one another. I am not a petty person. The issue that I am interrogating is a matter of grave national importance. It also has got international implications. Before I requested for this Statement, I sought the concurrence of the Speaker of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. Therefore, it would be unfair for the Chair of the Committee to use this opportunity to impute improper motive on me, because we all know that all the ... view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You will forgive me if I will offend the Chair. I do not want to imply--- view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: I will not even try. A moment of comedy could be allowed during debate but when we are taking the vote, it is a very important thing, and in fact, it should be a solemn moment. It might very well become the practice that we vote casually like this until a serious matter of contention affecting the counties and of grave national importance is on the table and people will behave in the same manner. I beg that you rule firmly that if somebody is being delegated to vote, then that evidence should be deposited with you on the Table. ... view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I want to start by confirming my support for this particular Motion which is founded in the Constitution. The point that Sen. Orengo is trying to emphasise is the use of devolved resources. Article 175(b) speaks on this issue very emphatically. Allow me to quote, it says:- “County governments established under this Constitution shall reflect the following principles–– (b) county governments shall have reliable sources of revenue to enable them to govern and deliver services effectively;” Why is this reflected in the Constitution? The drafters wanted a situation whereby ... view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just talking about what I see when I fly over the counties of Kenya. view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Most obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I end this, it is my dream that when my children will fly over Kenya, they will see an equal Kenya and not a Kenya which is unequal. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I thank you for the correction and I beg to support. view
