• 6 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Motion in front of us is one I consider to be very important for this nation. It is an issue that affects every person in this country and mostly Members of the Senate and the National Assembly. All the elected persons in this country are concerned about the security of this nation. I wish hon. Members would see it that way because it is a matter of national importance.

• 6 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to thank my friend, the former Provincial Commissioner (PC), whom I liked very much. He worked very hard. view
• 6 Mar 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, aware that national security is prerequisite for maintaining a stable nation state; concerned that Kenya continues to be confronted by factors that threaten national security such as terrorist attacks, road carnage, cattle rustling, inter-ethnic conflicts, food shortage and floods; further concerned that various forms of threats to national security, such as cyber-crime and terrorism, constantly mutate thereby posing a challenge to security organs; appreciating the efforts of successive governments to safeguard national security; noting with concern that despite the efforts insecurity continues to increase; further noting that no security review has been ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just seeking your guidance whether it is possible to allow the Senator for Nairobi County to move an Adjournment Motion, so that after the debate, which will take us about one hour, the committee will have material enough to invite those who are involved, so that we can get a more serious reply than what is anticipated now. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a bit surprised that we stopped what we were doing to listen to hearsay. This is because we are trying to do the work of the two Speakers. If somebody is serious and he thinks that this House is being undermined by any other institution, the first person they should see is the Speaker of the House. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in Senate: Sen. Murkomen, please, allow other people to air their views. We have been to school like you have been. Therefore, I think you need to listen. I am suggesting that for the progress of the House, considering that the debate was hijacked on a matter like this was not quite fair. Let us also agree that the Speaker of the Senate cannot stop any Member from airing issues which are irrelevant. However, we are not quite sure about what happened following what Sen. (Dr.) Kuti said. We do not know what transpired. We listened to one Member of Parliament, whom ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is very unfair for us to let Sen. Wetangula go without mentioning who signed the detention order. He said he knows him very well. Why can he not name him? view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am asking for clarification. He should substantiate in this House because he is a gentleman we all respect. I think nothing should happen without it being clear to the Members. Let us know who signed the document he is talking about. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I respect the hon. Member very much, but it is not very good to speculate. I feel very strongly that he needs to be specific as to who signed this thing that he is talking about. He should also tell the House how many orders were signed by G.G. Kariuki. I think there is need to say so because I will find time to talk. Some people are taking this matter very casually, yet it is a very serious matter for somebody to think that so-and-so was keeping quiet because he ... view
