• 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
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on two points of order. First, I want to thank you for that Communication, which has created a way forward. At the moment, we are fairly uncomfortable. It looks like we will have to re-look at some of the decisions that were made, either by the CRA or in consultation with the Treasury. view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Yes, pigs! Whereas my point of order is not intended to interrogate--- view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Senators are applauding the arrival of Nyong’-Nyong’--- view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, for that correction. My point of order is not intended to interrogate the merits or demerits of that particular demonstration. However, given the structure that we have around the Senate, at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) and between the KICC and where our offices are hosted, we would like the Chair to assure us of our security. For somebody to go out of his way and carry live pigs, some of them dead, carry blood and pour it, that is someone who is very angry. Most of the time, I normally just walk between KICC and my ... view
