• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Maybe the honorable Senator for Siaya should have been kind to all of us and read the entire Standing Order No.97 (1). For starters, he needed somebody to second him which did not happen. view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: You do not just stand; you know the rules. The Mover will always indicate who is supposed to second him. He did not and many of you stood up. So, how do I know that it is you and not the other one? The Standing Order goes on to state:- (2) The debate on a dilatory Motion shall be confined to the matter of the Motion. (3) If the Speaker is of the opinion that a dilatory Motion is an abuse of the proceedings of the Senate, the Speaker may forthwith put the question thereon or decline to propose it. ... view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Hon. Senators, because the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs has not been able to hold its elections and it lacked quorum last time according to Standing Order No.181, I, therefore, wish to direct that the Committee meets on Friday morning at 8.00 a.m. view

• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Order! I am glad you prefaced your remarks by saying that you are not sure whether it is a point of order or something else. If you read the Standing Order, it does not specify up to when. Secondly, you are already anticipating that it might go that way and we are not allowed to anticipate. So, we shall cross that bridge once we reach there. view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: You recall in the morning we deferred the matter on the vote on the Motion by the Senator for Kakamega, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale - the Motion on Education – to this afternoon at 3.30 p.m. According to the clock on my wall, it is now 4.14 p.m. and part of the extension was requested by the hon.

I am referring to the Senator for Homa Bay and the Senator for Siaya who were in total agreement with the Chair. So, the ... view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Order, hon. Senators! Sen. Kembi-Gitura was addressing the Speaker and there is only one Speaker on the Chair now.

• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Order, hon. Senators! I think it is important for us to read Standing Order No.97 because hon. Sen. Wetangula, as he seconded got it all wrong. It is not up to me. In fact, my job is much easier than he is trying to make it seem. 97(3) “If the Speaker is of the opinion that a dilatory Motion is an abuse of the proceedings of the Senate, the Speaker may forthwith put the question thereon or decline to propose it.” I am therefore, under no obligation. As you had said, I was being requested by hon. Orengo to do ... view
