• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Order, Sen. (Dr.) Machage. Just allow me briefly to welcome and recognize the presence of visiting pupils and teachers from Mbagathi Road Primary School, Nairobi County, who are seated at the public gallery. In our usual tradition of receiving and welcoming visitors to Parliament, I send a warm welcome to them and on behalf of the Senate and on my own behalf, we wish them a fruitful visit. I thank you. Proceed, Sen. (Dr.) Machage. Sorry for that interruption, it is because their time is limited. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Hon. Senators, I have to interrupt this particular debate because we have other commitments. After my communication, we will resume the debate. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: You have two minutes and not more than that. The first thing you must do is to accept that you had contravened the Standing Orders. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, I thought you made the correct observation that a Senator contributing continuously without interruption by either the Chair or any other person--- How does my conduct imply approval? Unless it is such a serious aberration, the Speaker is always supposed to be blind until the issue is raised. Definitely when it is raised, I have to spring to action and enforce the Standing Orders.

• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Order, Sen. Murkomen! I hope you are not repeating yourself to justify your arguments. Contrary to the wishes of Sen. Murkomen, that I should not be seen to be rushing to give directives, this one I will actually rush with lighting speed to give directives because it is so plain, simple and clear. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Order, Sen. Wetangula! I do not need your assistance! I will express myself when I need it. This matter is very clear. Sen. Murkomen is confusing paragraphs (3) and (5). He is confusing the petition in totality and its presentation. That is content and what he needs to present. I know for a fact that he being a scholar of his repute and who has written academic papers, knows that when presenting a particular paper, he does not need to read everything. We can do away with certain things like the names of the petitioners if you see that it ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: So, five minutes for the presentation of the petition. In fact, the difficulty in the whole of this thing is in the Standing Order No.226 which gives the total time allocated to the Petition as a maximum of 30 minutes. That is where the period of five minutes becomes even more important. You use five minutes to present it, so that you allow other Members to also contribute. That is where there is a challenge, but not in the presentation within five minutes. What is it, Sen. (Dr.) Machage? view
• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Order! Sen. Murkomen, you are making your case worse. Proceed Sen. Mositet. view
