• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: “Whenever a petition is committed to a Standing Committee, the Committee shall, in not more than sixty calendar days from the time of reading the prayer, respond to the petitioner by way of a report addressed to the petitioner or petitioners and laid on the Table of the Senate and no debate on or in relation to the report shall be allowed, but the Speaker may, in exceptional circumstances, allow comments or observations in relation to the Petition for not more than twenty minutes.” view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Sen. Kivuti, you do not have the luxury of more than 60 days. The prayer was requested on 31st July, 2013. The month of August has 31 days and September has 30 days. Please, note here the operational word is “shall”. So, the least liberty we could have accorded you was by 29th September, 2013. Today is 16th October, 2013. So, you owe to the House some explanation, not just the petitioners through the Senator. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: It is true the Chairman came to see me but it is also true that you came to see me after the event. That does not change the timeframe that our Standing Orders have provided for. We will give you 14 days. We encourage you and the Committee to work extremely hard to ensure that you get the relevant responses from the relevant Ministries. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, failure to do so, I am sure you know the consequences. I do not want them to be revisited on you. You can deal with the source of the information. The House will support you. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Next Order. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Order, Sen. Karaba! Your job is to interrogate the Statement, not to make another one. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Except, Sen. Kagwe, you have not addressed the issue of the timelines. The timelines were known in advance, so somebody must be sleeping on the job at the Ministry. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: What is it, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale? view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: The last one, Sen. Karaba. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in Senate: Sen. Kagwe, you do not need to respond to that. Sen. Karaba you must thank your Chairman for working very diligently and fast to deliver the Statement. You sought it yesterday, he promised Thursday, with a possibility that if the phone call worked, he might bring it this afternoon. Apparently, he must have made the call which was received. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
