• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Order, Senators; I also want to make a communication just to brief you. It will come at the time when you should be voting, but I think you need to know it from the very beginning. view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Hon. Senators, I wish to draw to your attention the provisions of Standing Order No.69, which states as follows and I quote:- “(1) When the Senate is to vote on any matter other than a Bill, the Speaker shall rule on whether the matter affects or does not affect counties. (2) The Speaker’s ruling under paragraph (1) shall be made after conclusion of debate on the matter but before the question is put. (3) When the Senate votes on a matter that does not affect counties, each Senator has one vote. ” That is what you need to note. Hon. ... view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: What is it, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale? view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, we are looking for the exact position in the Constitution but suffice it for now that if the political parties nominated Members on any other criteria, then we are not aware of it. The one the Constitution gives us and the way we determine that you are a Member of a particular county is on the basis of where you are a registered voter. That is the law and the Chair will faithfully implement it. We have taken the trouble of finding from the Registrar of Political Parties where each Member present or each Senator is a ... view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Hon. Senators, that is why I took the trouble although the Standing Orders dictate that I should have read this when we are about to vote. I have appreciated that this is the first time we are doing it differently and maybe it is also in the history of the Republic. So, I thought I should raise these issues upfront and definitely the kind of responses it has elicited are necessary.

• 7 May 2013 in Senate: What is it Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki? view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Which was? view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: To the best of my recollection, I do not think we ever imposed a limit on the number of points of orders you can raise. Secondly, this is a new House, assuming that what you are saying is true. This is a different House and 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
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: The first one he was requesting whether he would be allowed to make some comments before another Member and it was really the second one that was a point of order seeking a clarification. In my view, I was disposing that point of order before I come to the other one. I think that some of these things are at the pleasure of the Chair in terms of points of order. Actually, he stood up on a point of order and raised two different issues. So, I do not think that amounts to two points of order but one. So, ... view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: He is definitely not in order but the Chair is being engaged by the Senate Minority Leader and I am wondering whether there was a conspiracy between him and the Senator for Busia so that the Chair cannot determine the size of the bag. Senator for Busia, did you have a bag? The only bags we allow are the ladies bags. view
