• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As you consider your ruling, it would also be nice to set a tradition that we should allow a Member on his feet to finish before one raises that kind of a point of order. In fact--- view
• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand guided. I rise to oppose this Motion on account of the fact that the Senate now needs to start planning its business more thoroughly. I particularly beseech the leadership of the House to take the business of this House more seriously. As other Senators have said, they should not plan business and then absent themselves from the Sittings of the Senate. Plan the business and be part of it. Therefore, the ambush of constantly being told in the last week before recess that we need to meet twice or thrice more to conclude ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My clarity from the Chairperson is that I did not quite get the reasons why South Africa imposed such apartheid type of visa requirements on a black population. Secondly, I heard the Chairperson say that they were going to reciprocate if these measures are not put into place. Why can we not reciprocate first and then negotiate from a position of strength, so that we impose these restrictions tomorrow? When we negotiate, we should do it on both ends, so that if South Africa wants us to lift the restrictions, vis-à-vis, they lift their restrictions. ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought that I should do the honours of service to Sen. Leshore. When you told him to take note of Standing Order No.84, he may not have referred to it. It states:- “No Senator shall read a speech but a Senator may read short extracts from written and printed papers in support of an argument and may refresh memory by reference to notes.” As he finishes his speech, I also thought--- view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking your direction. Given that these are 29 Members, I assume that there will be another 29 Members of the National Assembly. That would bring the number to 58. Is that a Committee of the House of Senate? view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On a similar note, there is no single question on Statement (a) to (g) that has been answered today, on account that the various Committee Chairs have requested for more time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have made very strong pronouncements about taking this Senate seriously from your Chair. We have spent the entire Statement Sessions period by simply saying that a Statement will be answered next week, tomorrow or we are calling somebody to the Senate. I think you need to pronounce yourself in a more firm way. The electronic version of ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to acknowledge two of our colleagues attributed to Saba Saba Day? These are Sen. Murungi and Sen. Orengo. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a very beautiful Mace before us which we have all taken notice of. There is always an explanation about it. I have seen Mombasa and all the other counties engraved on it. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Just for the sake of the HANSARD, I did not ask what the functions of the Mace are. I just asked to be told a little more about its production, which was further qualified by Sen. Khalwale. Since the HANSARD is a document of permanent record, I know what the functions of a Mace are. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did you just hear Sen. Murungi say that he is demanding separate facilities because he does not want us to mix wazees with their grandchildren? Is he imputing that I have grandchildren? view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you cannot say those types of things to me. You cannot tell me to grow up. Use other means to talk to people.
