• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to support the Motion as moved by the Senate Majority Leader and seconded by the Leader of Minority. This is a procedural Motion as it was said. We really need to approve this list so that this team can retreat and generate business for the House. I was just observing and sharing with my leader, Sen. Orengo. The Standing Orders that provides for the formation of this Committee is very explicit. The only mandatory people to sit in this Committee is yourself, the Speaker as the Chairman, the Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader and ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: 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
• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: for in the Standing Orders. It is for the leadership to decide who the additional Members will be. Mr. Speaker, Sir, every Session when we begin, you see the same names being recycled. I wonder why they should not give an opportunity to other Members to have that privilege to serve on this very high standing Committee. I was asking Sen. Orengo, why he would sit there as the Senate Minority Leader with Sen. Madzayo who is his deputy. For you, the Senate Minority Leader, it is mandatory but your deputy should cede way so that other Members who are ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, going forward, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, Sen. Agnes Muthama and Sen. (Eng.) Hargura wants to have that experience. Some of us will not come back to this House.

• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am informed by my elder brother and my Leader, Sen. Orengo. However, I still insist. It is true that our system is based on the Westminster Model. We borrowed so much from the practise there. So, I agree with him on that but that does not mean that we must just continue copying and pasting. I mean we can improve on what suits this House and our country better. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the drafters of the Standing Orders in their wisdom decided who should be the permanent Members on that Committee. Now a Whip is a ... view
• 27 Jan 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. On the same breath, I am looking at the provisions of Standing Order No.30, which provides for a Special Sitting like this one. In particular, I am looking at Standing Order No.30(5) which clearly states: “Whenever the Senate meets for a special meeting under Paragraph (1), the Speaker shall specify the business to be transacted on the day or days appointed and the business so specified shall be the only business before the Senate during the special sitting, following which the Senate shall stand adjourned until the day appointed in the Senate Calendar.” Madam Deputy ... view
• 27 Jan 2022 in Senate: your guidance. I can see the Clerk-at-the-Table asking if there are any Statements. Was that part of the business that we were supposed to transact today? Maybe, going forward, do we still have to read through these Motions, Papers and Statements, whenever we have a Special Sitting and the business that we are supposed to transact is specified? view

• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr Speaker Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I had the privilege of presenting this Petition on behalf of Nahashon Agano, the other 16 petitioners and the entire populace that lives in Maseno Before I say anything, Mr. Speaker Sir, this is to your attention. This Petition was presented in this House early October, 2020. Our Standing Orders, to be precise, Standing Order No 232(2) states very clearly that once a Petition has been presented to this House, the Speaker will assign a committee to handle it and within 60 calendar days they must report to the House.
