• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, we are making a small job appear to be a big issue. The Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations had all the time to debate this issue in the morning. We agreed, as proposed by the Chairperson, that the discussions do not stop the House to decide on the contrary. The important thing is that as hon. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o said, he made some remarks because of the environment that he comes from. These are very important issues to some people. There are areas where you cannot find policemen or policewomen. I was under the impression, ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We have very few minutes. However, I thank you for allowing me these few minutes. First of all, I would like to thank the Leadership of the Senate because we have come from far. We had many problems before we got where we are. The current discourse between the two Houses is very commendable. That guarantees continuity and harmony of the two Houses. That is the only way we can serve our people effectively. Under the Constitution, the roles of the two Houses are well defined. I am very sure that the Senate is ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in Senate: on a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we dare never doubt the ruling of the Speaker. My standing here is not to doubt what you have ruled, but to say that, whether we will be in order if we just agree to speak the way we have just ruled, knowing that we are not going to get the conclusion of the whole thing until it is taken back to the Committees. This matter, as you said, is very weighty. It involves so much. In fact, if it was my own decision, this matter needed to have been circulated to the county governments to ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was here from the beginning when this Bill was being moved by the Senate Majority Leader. It created a lot of questions and points of order because of what it is. Since the Speaker had decided on the way forward, we all agreed. The Speaker should not be challenged for making that decision. However, we should look at this Bill clause by clause, because this is a Bill affecting county governments. It has a lot to do with county governments. Whatever we are proposing here ought to have come from the county governments so that ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would not want to dispute your ruling but it has become a habit in this Chamber that when some people have spoken, the rest can speak for two or three minutes. That is a very dangerous thing that has been happening. If we go to ten minutes, let those who will not get a chance stay without speaking. What would you say in two minutes? I have already finished two minutes, then what? I object to that very strongly. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, reluctantly, I am going to say a few words. First of all, we are talking about a very serious matter. Even if we had to adjourn the House to debate this, there would be no problem because it is a serious issue. Let me start by saying that condemning the incidence does not do anything because we do condemnation every now and then. I know hon. Members are so disappointed and bitter. That is why we are talking this way but we must stop complaining among The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view
• 20 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I have just come in, to find that the issue concerns my county and Nyandarua County. view
• 20 Nov 2014 in Senate: When I came in, I found that the matter on the Floor concerns Laikipia and Nyandarua counties. No one objects to any petition, because the petitioners may have a good reason for doing what they want to do. However, I would like to say that this matter has been there for many years. At one time, the Government wanted Nyahururu to be included in Nyandarua as a new district, but because of many districts which wanted the same to happen, the Parliament of the day did not find any logical reason to transfer or extend the boundaries of Nyandarua inside ... view
• 20 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of the Committee. I am informed that the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson are not in the Chamber. If I am allowed, I will give some undertaking to answer these questions by Thursday next week. view
