• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure you heard the hon. Senator saying that he is even ready to go and beg, knock doors of a Cabinet Secretary to get a Statement. It should be noted here that nobody is doing us a favour by bringing these statements to this House. It is our constitutional right. The Constitution gives us powers similar to the powers of the High Court under Article 125 of the Constitution, to summon anybody. Is he in order to imply that he will be going to beg for statements when he knows that he has powers to ... view

• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, this House approves the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Environmental Management and Coordination (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 31 of 2014) pursuant to Standing Order No.155 laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 21st May, 2015. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first of all, allow me to thank the Speaker for appointing me to this particular Committee. The Mediation Committee on the Environmental Management and Coordination (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 31 of 2014), was constituted by the Speaker of the National Assembly pursuant to Standing ... view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Further to the point of order raised, Standing Order No. 225 paragraph 5 says that a Senator presenting a petition shall not speak for more than five minutes unless with the permission of the Speaker. Paragraph 4 gives the provision to table the Petition, if it is very lengthy. I believe that is why paragraph 4 was put there. If it is very lengthy, the Senator can lay it on the Table so that we can go through it. view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Standing Order 43(6) gives the Speaker three options. It says:- “When a Senator reports a message from a County Governor under paragraph (3) and (4), the message shall be deemed to have been laid before the Senate and the Speaker may- (a) direct that the message be dealt with forthwith; (b) appoint a day for consideration of the message; or, (c) refer the message to the relevant Committee of the Senate for consideration.” There are three options and we cannot have all of them at the same time. view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank and congratulate those patriotic Kenyans who have brought that Petition to this House for being vigilant. Amongst the accusations that have been leveled on the governor, is the issue of corruption or theft and nepotism. These are crimes that go against our Constitution which we swore to protect and they are very strong grounds for impeachment of the governor, should it be found that indeed these accusations exist. Pursuant to Standing Order No.227, we will recommend that you commit this Petition to the relevant Standing Committee, so that we can delve into this ... view

(2) Explain when the relocation exercise will be finalized. (3) State why logging and charcoal burning ... view

• 21 May 2015 in Senate: I am here, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am sorry I was not paying attention to the Statement. However, going by the tradition of the House, we will look at it and see if we could come up with a response in two weeks’ time. Should we not be able to do that, we will report the outcome to the House. view
