• 13 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know I did not ask that question, but that question was asked quite some time ago.

• 13 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my own assessment of the Statement is that it is far from adequate to respond to the weighty issues. Clarify for the purpose of this Senate, is a Government allowed to close its eyes to the obvious? The fact that violations are taking place is a matter that is obvious to everybody. Secondly, can the Senate set itself standards to deny responses that are characteristic, particularly from agencies of national security? I have seen it over and again even at the time when I used to serve at the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) that ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also feel that as we go to the paces of facilitating the conclusion of this Bill, maybe Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki can add more perspective in the Bill at its formative stages and throughout all the stages, knowing his vast experience in the field.

• 13 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion by the Senate Majority Leader, at this critical time when the media has made it appear like we are disgruntled, fighting the National Assembly and have been sidelined. I want to start my contribution by saying that is far from the truth. What we must demonstrate and continue to reinforce to the public out there is that the Senate is simply trying to ensure that the constitutional The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 13 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be cautious in what I say, but I was simply trying to articulate the message that we are going to the Supreme Court at the first instance for redress. Even from a political contest, the Senate will still carry the day if we were to go back to the people of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are requesting our brothers and sisters to heed. I have heard the most obnoxious arguments by some Members of the National Assembly. How dare somebody make a statement that I, Hassan Omar, who has been elected by six constituencies, ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was a time we could not even dream. There is a dream that is coming true where people who have never seen roads since Independence are right now breaking ground for roads. How dare you say you do not know the reason the Senate is there? How dare you undermine the Senate? I need to send these polite words that we will all talk to our leaders in our respective coalitions. Tell them, and we will tell ours, we shall be friends in so far as the common agenda about the party remains. However, where anybody ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you cannot bring us in here and render us almost impotent to deliver and then you go making large political plebiscites. The reason people have created doubt on this Senate today is because deliberately we have undermined and manufactured consent that this Senate counts for nothing. Of What use am I to Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula if I sit with him during the day and he undermines the Senate during the night? You shall not be my leader if that is what you The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Kagwe in order to suggest that we are not experts in security matters and yet the Constitution expressly says under Article 238(2)(a) that national security is subject to the authority of this Constitution and Parliament and Senate is part of Parliament? view
• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Having expended a considerable time, particularly within the interventions during Sen. Kagwe’s contribution, would it be in order now to revisit the leave of the House, so that we limit our contributions maybe to--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
