• 11 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I agree with you, and applaud your Communication, it is continuously becoming very embarrassing, especially in public; when we greet members of the public, they tell us: “You people should stop quarrelling and fighting with the National Assembly.” It is good that you have written to His Excellency the President. I hope that he will uphold the Constitution. But I would also urge you to also approach Hon. Justin Muturi, as your colleague, so that these things are ironed out. The truth is some people might want to pretend this issue does not exist. But in ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The rules of debate require that when a Member makes this kind of disclosure, he substantiates. Could Sen. Orengo substantiate what he is talking about? view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether it is escaping your attention, but last week you had ruled that you will give us an opportunity today to ventilate on the petition from a member of the public. view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very exciting that whereas we think we are either senior or in the Upper or Lower House, members of the public seem to be ahead of us. To the best of my knowledge, neither the Lower House nor this Upper House has had an opportunity to bring a petition, but already a member of the public has brought one. So, I want to congratulate Humphrey Khaunya, but I want to point out the following. That in the objectives of this proposed Bill, he says in Part “a” that he wants to use the proposed Bill ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is not a valid point of order. To the best of my knowledge, I got this document at 9.30 a.m. in the morning from--- view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: From the Office of the Clerk; not from the actual office, but from the girl who seats at the reception where we pick documents--- view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Yes, from Room 105; that is where I picked my document. And I did so because I was aware that today was meant for this business. So, if you make a ruling, I will proceed. 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
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand under Standing Order No.43(2)(c) to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government on the role of the newly created Department of Devolution. I would like him to clarify the following issues. One, what is the relevance of this department in view of the fact that the national and county levels of government are two distinct and interdependent only to the extent provided for in Article 6(2) of the Constitution? Two, I would like him to clarify whether the Department is to be used, misused or abused ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank him for the immediate response, but wish to seek the following further clarifications. From his answer, he has made it very clear that this department will mainly or principally be for planning and, probably, with gender issues. Could he come and confirm that, now that he has made that clear, that at no time will the Cabinet Secretary in charge of this Ministry or her agent approach any governor in a matter pertaining to the running of a county; or question any decision that has been taken by any county government in ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: I am talking about Article 6(2) of the Constitution. The question is; can you come and confirm; and give us actual dates of the days when the President, the Deputy President or their agents consulted or sat with either the governors, members of the county assemblies or the Senators to do consultations so as to seek co- operation through mutual consent for us to have this particular body that, to me, is likely to cause confusion or bring in interference? My last point on clarification arises from what you have said. You pointed to the Senate Minority Leader and myself, ... view
