Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hate to interrupt my learned senior but he is misleading everybody and the public. Standing Order No. 98 was not misplaced. It exists as a right of any Member. Therefore, it is misleading to say that raising a point of order is wasting Senate’s time. This is because it is a right unless the Speaker rules that it is either fictitious, frivolous or it does not hold any water. Sen. Maanzo should be guided accordingly. Any Standing Order from number one to the last one is as important as any Standing Order that has been ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am an experienced Member of this House and I assure Sen. Maanzo that the County Liaison Office is already provided for and Sen. Dullo is in a better place to confirm. I can have a tet-a-tet with Sen. Maanzo after this, where I can guide him. The County Liaison Office is under the Office of the Clerk. It is already there. He shall not incur his own cost. We will keep improving as we go into the future.

Faki, who I have the highest regard for, being a Member of the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee which I chaired…. We went through these Motions together. He is also my learned senior. He is my senior, but I am also senior in some things. When you look at Standing Order No.22 - I would have expected Sen. Sifuna to assist him or my good lecturer Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda to be giving him senior counsel guidance ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, please, can you protect me from the Senate Majority Leader and also Sen. M. Kajwang’? I am told that he is famous for grabbing. I support this Motion. This is a straightforward matter, but I agree with Sen. Mungatana that, before, Parliament used to exist at the whims and pleasures of the presidency or whoever was in power. If any person in power would feel that Parliament is infringing, they would prorogue Parliament at any given point. Therefore, that explains the reason for Article 102 of the Constitution of Kenya which says that the term of ...

Under Article 102(1) and (2) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Parliament is allowed to sit even in times of war. Even if there is an emergency or an invasion, Parliament is allowed to sit. It is a serious issue and the fact that the issue of the Calendar has been captured and extrapolated through a Standing Order from Article 102 is very important. Many people imagine that work is only done at the Plenary. They do not know that there is a lot of work that is done at Committee level. The House will be on recess, and only ...
