• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Hon. Senators, I would like to acknowledge the presence in the Speaker’s Gallery this afternoon of visitors from Nakuru, Kilifi and Kericho county assemblies.

• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Let us keep it that short and sweet since the interest is high. view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: I had concluded, but I can see two eminent Senators – the Attorney-General Emeritus and the Senate Minority Leader - who wish to make contributions. I will allow them a maximum of two minutes each in that order because it is extra time. view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Conclude, Senator. view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Members, I think that concludes it. I have heard your various interventions and I think all of them will be taken on board. Definitely, what you have requested the Speaker to do shall be done. For the offices, I have just consulted and there is some work going on. The first floor has already been handed back. We will ensure that the rest of the offices are brought back. My understanding was that by 1st February, 2016 the Senators should get back their offices. Let us move to the next Order. view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Order! That is correct. Let the Orders be read out again. What is it, Sen. Khaniri? Except for the benefit of the Senate Minority Leader, if he can be privy to the business the Members want to bring to the House, would it not be expected that the Speaker should be privy to the same business?

• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Sen. Khaniri, you were in my office this morning and we tried to trace where the Petition had reached. We also have internal procedures in the House which must be observed. I gave you that undertaking. I have followed the matter and it is in the pipeline. If you had only approached the Chair, I would have given you a more appropriate response. The way it is now, we cannot ask you to present the Petition but we will communicate to you. As soon as it is ready, we will let you know. view

This Committee will process the business that will come before the House. So, bear with us. Immediately we dispose that business of approving the RBC, it will get to work and then, we will advise you on the status of all those petitions. view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Order, Members. The Senator for Kakamega County is completely out of order. In his previous intervention, he requested the Speaker to comment on something. My understanding of the request by the Senator for Nyandarua County is that the Chair facilitates Members to discuss issues, which we have done in this House before, and he never raised an objection. The Chair is more than ready to adjourn but that must be the will of the House. So far, it is a desire by one Member. That desire must be supported by many others who desire the same.
