• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to congratulate this school. Being the best primary school in Makueni is something because Makueni County has one of the best schools in the country. Therefore, being the best school in Makueni, it tells us that this school has performed very well. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the staff, the parents and the pupils of this excellent school and urge them to make sure that even this year they do much better. I would also like to congratulate my colleague Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for recognizing this effort and bringing these ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in passing my condolences and those of the people of the County of Kitui to the family and the people 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
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I oppose this Bill for a few reasons. One, the law which is proposed to be amended was a product of negotiation by a Joint Committee. You were on that Chair when you ruled that not even a comma should be inserted in amending the Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, only a few weeks after the law was assented to, we woke up in the morning to find the police barricading Parliament, and when we asked why, we were told that there was a Special Sitting of the National Assembly ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Although my good friend and brother, Sen. Haji, says that we should not keep reminding ourselves about the past, I think it is very important that we go by history. The point of contention, as my colleagues have said, is the use of a complementary mechanism which is not defined. We all live in this country and know what happened in the last elections. Equipment worth billions of shillings was bought and made not to work. They were made to fail because by 9.00 a.m., the equipment could not work and the excuse was that ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support this amendment. In doing so, I appeal to my brothers and sisters across that this is a grave matter for the existence of this House. We cannot remove delimitation of boundaries from the Senate which may touch on devolution. The Constitution gives this House the power to defend devolution and the counties. Mr. Chairman, Sir, we can talk about our differences but this time round, see that you retain the dignity of this House by ensuring that we delete this and show the two Houses are as important and not just one House to vote ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I support and I want to contribute in relation to the proposed new Clause 26A(c). One of the weaknesses of the amendments that we have been making this afternoon was leaving it open without saying who makes the regulations. The proposal by the distinguished Senator for Makueni is to make sure that these regulations are not made by the IEBC or somebody else, but by the House. On (d), it proposes to insert the words “and the Senate” immediately after the word “National Assembly.” Again, this is a classic example where the National Assembly wants ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, first, I want to protest this issue of one minute. There is no legislator brought here, elected by his people, to be given a minute in a House. I support this amendment. I am angry because you are reducing time. The former Chair was given that proposition of one minute and he ruled it out. Now, you sat there, we gave you this position with a lot of respect and now you are reducing it to one minute. What can I say in one minute? I protest. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I would like to assist you. It would be absolutely wrong for you to band all the amendments together. As it has been said, I may have a favourable opinion on one and an unfavourable opinion on another. Therefore, we have to vote on every amendment; we cannot do it wholesale. That is a fair advice to the Chair. view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You should excuse my Secretary General because he articulated what our party stands for, and I want to applaud him for the manner in which he has executed--- view
• 2 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are all party members of some sort and I think it is in order for the Chair of a party to congratulate his Secretary General when he does a good job, just like I am about to congratulate my Vice Chair for ably preparing this Bill and the manner in which he has moved it. This is a day for Wiper Party because the Vice Chair moved the Bill, the Secretary General did what he did and the Chair is about to make a contribution. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this timely Bill that ... view
