• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is on procedure. To the best of my knowledge, Sen Haji seconded this Motion. You cannot second a Motion and then contribute again. If he wanted to stay anything on the Motion, he should have said at the stage of seconding. view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for the opportunity. Let me add my voice to my colleagues who have spoken earlier in thanking and congratulating Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for the wonderful and well thought out idea. This idea could not have come at a better time; it is very timely. What we, as a House, are doing is trying to give the Government the necessary strength and to reinforce it in the fight against crime in the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have always stated on the Floor of this House, the first and foremost ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I bring to your attention that the Senator voting on behalf of Nakuru County has breached Standing Order No. 77(5). It is very clear and explicit on how Members should vote when it is a roll call vote. I seek your opinion. view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: I am not protesting, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am just getting worried because we do not want this House or the House of Parliament to act in futility. In this era where Kenyans are very enlightened, we risk that a Kenyan somewhere will rush to court; that we have acted against our own Standing Orders and the Constitution. In my opinion, this House coming up with a resolution to form a Joint Committee is a matter of one day. We can do this one afternoon and resolve to have a Joint Committee. This is because the two Committees on security ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe just to refresh your mind on this issue and give you the chronology of events, because I think as the Chairperson, we have disposed of this matter. We have done what was given to us to be done and we tabled a Report, which is now the property of the House. So, as the Chairperson, I do not think we have any other thing to do on this matter because we, first of all brought a Statement which the hon. Member said was unsatisfactory. You then ordered us to look deeper into the matter, which we ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter that has been raised by the Senator for Kitui County is a matter that was raised in this House and it was handled by my Committee. You will remember that you instructed us to convene a meeting of all the interested stakeholders. We had a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary, the NIS, the Governor and even the Senator himself and we eventually tabled a Report here with our recommendations. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, the Government is setting a very bad precedence, acting in impunity in total disregard of the rule of law. The Government is defying instructions from the court, court orders and even the Senate. We, as a Committee, stand by the Report that we tabled here. Therefore, there are no further investigations to be done by my Committee. view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the two issues raised by Sen. (Dr.) Machage and Sen. Abdirahman, it is you to respond because Sen. (Dr.) Machage wants to know if we can summon them to the Committee of the Whole. He is seeking for you guidance. Similarly, Sen. Abdirahman wants this matter to be referred to the Committee on Implementation. Therefore, it is not in my purview to respond to that. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House, today, Wednesday, 26th November, 2014. The report of the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources on the public hearing held on 29th November, 2014 on the Natural Resources Benefits Sharing Bill 2014. view
