• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to bring to your attention the issue that I see happening quite often. Members are going against Standing Order No. 106 (2) which states that:- “No Senators shall pass between the Chair and the Senator who is speaking or between the Chair and the Table except in so far as it is necessary for the purpose of administration of Oath and Affirmation of Office.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, while Sen.

• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, the Chairperson has consulted me on this matter. I fully agree with him that they cannot get the answers we want from the Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS) who is supposed to have committed these acts. I agree with him and thank him for the initiative of sending investigators from Nairobi.

• 15 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have two points of order. The first one is with regard to the speaker who is on the Floor. We all know the provisions of the Standing Orders on comments on petitions. This is because when a petition is read by the Speaker or a Member, it is supposed to be referred to the relevant Committee, where matters that my senior, hon. Ongeri is raising, will be canvassed.
