• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order No.18 and Article 107(1)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya that Sen. Stephen Sang be elected to preside over the sitting of the Senate for the remainder of the sitting today, 25th March, 2015. I say so because the next agenda is the Mining Bill, which is very crucial.

• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: I appreciate that I have never acted in that position but I saw the way you were sweating while trying to adjust. It is not a small seat. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in seconding this Bill, I want to say that it is a very important Bill. This is the Bill which the Mover has explained that over 70 years we have been having different legislations governing the mining industry.

• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With due respect to my colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Machage, he has made some allegations that I may not have been aware that I should have given my colleague on the other side an opportunity to Second the Motion.

With due respect to my brother, the Senator for Kakamega, whom I have known for a long time and we rarely disagree, but it is good to have the records right. It is not correct to say that the JSC is compromised by having one person from the Kalenjin or from one other tribe. You need to see the composition of the commission. We have the Chief Justice, hon. Muchelule, Mr. Ojienda and so on. So, if we have one Kalenjin why do you say that it is geared towards tilting ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want, from the outset, to thank the Committee Chaired by Sen. Haji for the good work it has done. I have heard comments from my colleagues with regard to the fact that this nominee is not qualified for this position because he has not served in the police force for a certain length of time. What are the qualifications of one to be appointed to the position of Inspector- General of Police? One is that he must be a citizen of Kenya; he must hold a degree from a ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to argue with him. We have researched on him and he has served in various missions. This depends on the research you want to carry out. This is not hearsay. These are facts. This person has served in various missions. He has been a leader. Therefore, his appointment to the position of Inspector-General of Police is good in the sense that he knows the intelligence network very well. He has also served in various countries. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes ... view
