• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Which is? Because there have been occasions where you have attempted to migrate. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: By the way, Sen. Kittony, even that vote you say you have is being contested. I have not seen it and my clerks have advised me that they do not have proof you have it. You know what it means and do not try to get it through an SMS. So, we will defer the Motion to next week. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, when Sen. Kittony said “for now” she has a vote, she was confirming that other times she does not have the vote. Secondly, the Chair has already ruled on that matter that even for now, she does not have the vote because the due process has not been met. So, let us not revisit a matter that has been concluded. She knows the rules, we know them and that is what we are here to enforce. I also do not want you to create the impression that they cannot vote. They can vote on designation by the ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Order, Senators! Sen. Orengo raised the matter of the delegation list and Sen. Ong’era supported it by confirming that her head of delegation has made her the vice leader of the delegation and wondered why the rest are not “man enough” to act accordingly. I have not done sufficient research to know how many men are “man enough” because nobody so far has complained. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Order, Sen. Orengo! It is just courteous that if the Chair felt that your contribution was important enough to respond to, especially when the Chair is on his feet, the minimum you can do to demonstrate appreciation is to listen and to fight all threat to your ability to concentrate especially from Sen. Wako. First, I do not know which list you are referring to but the list before me, titled, The Republic of Kenya, the Senate, 11th Parliament, First Session, Division List and Delegations List, in this list all the delegations are listed. For example; Sen. Billow Adan Kerrow, ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Sen. Kuti has a delegation. There is also Turkana, Embu and Meru counties. Sen. Kiraitu will not have to bother with the niceties of consultations. The other counties are Busia, Nandi, Siaya and Nyamira. The respective Senators will sit pretty good and do not have to consult. The question that follows, to which I do not have the answer now, is; what happens when the Members of the delegation do not agree whether or not to support? That is a matter that, at the appropriate time, I will be seeking your views and give my considered ruling on. Thank you. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Sen. Orengo, I think that, that is a good suggestion which will be looked into on its own merit, but the practice or what we have been able to do and my reading of that Constitution is that it is very clear that there is a head of delegation. In all things, we always start from the head. Now, in the absence of the head, the head would have designated somebody. The process of designation would have been brought to the attention of the Chair. In most cases, when we call out that particular county, and because the head would ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Those are the gray areas that we need to consider in the future. Those are good suggestions, Sen. Kuti. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: You are right; my apologies. The Wajir delegation is a two-member delegation, the Head being Hassan Abdirahman Ali and I guess that the automatic vice-chair, to borrow from Sen. Ong’era, is Sen. Mohamud Halima Abdille. Let us conclude, Sen. Leshore! view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: While we appreciate your own intervention, designation must be done formerly in writing to the Speaker. It is not done on the Floor. Next Order! view
