• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have sat here for about two or three minutes, but my conscience would not rest particularly because of this statement that came from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale:- “maybe we might not need a President who is democratic.” That is a dangerous statement coming from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, because we do need a President who is democratic. So, is he in order to suggest that a country which the preamble of its Constitution states that this is a democratic country, say that type of a thing? I have tried not to raise it but my conscience would ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. My reading of that Article is that it actually mandates the Senate and the National Assembly to guide the President and not the other way round. Is Sen. Elachi in order to say that as a Senate of 67 reputable men and women, we need to be guided by the President? view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for this opportunity. view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to once again be able to share my thoughts on this second generation formula on revenue allocation. I have been very clear since I came to this House that we need to take a little more time to agree on a formula that best satisfies all the counties. With due respect to the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA), I think this particular formula has gone through consultations. I made it clear when I was in Naivasha that it is inherent that those counties with enormous wage bills are given the necessary ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is my brother, the Senator for Makueni, in order to say that this formula is a fait accompli yet it is within this Senate to either adopt or reject it? view
• 11 Feb 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking a similar point of order. I requested for a Statement in the last Session. As much as I respect your ruling, there is need to enforce the stature of this House. I was promised by the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations severally that, that Statement would be delivered, but it was not issued by the relevant Ministry. If this trend was to continue, then we will be frustrating our own internal processes of the Senate. view
• 11 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether you will entertain a small inquiry to the Chair--- view
• 11 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I am what you will call a “freshman” Member of Parliament (MP), just having been elected this particular cycle of elections. I have always wondered why it is that during Motions of Adjournment, Senators speak on a broad number of issues--- view
• 11 Feb 2015 in Senate: Okay, I was seeking your tutorship--- view
• 11 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have no regrets that my elder, the Senator for Meru, Sen. Kiraitu Murungi, spoke before me. In fact, that is the benefit we get, so I will make my presentation short because he addressed some of the issues I had hoped to speak to, which I think is a great thing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think what Sen. (Eng.) Karue has done is extremely commendable; to translate ourselves to the vanguards of the common man. In this country, the Judiciary and the law making agencies have, for a long time, been agencies for the ... view
