• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as much as we have been advised not to make reference to the debate in the Lower House, I think I must respond to a thing or two. It was totally out of order for anybody to imagine that a Member of this Senate is in his or her retirement. For those who are here, there is no doubt, indeed, that we have just began. In fact, this is our first electoral contest and we were audacious enough to run for the office of the Senate. We made it as Senators in our respective counties. I can ... view
• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in legal jargon, we talk about taking judicial notice. When a fact is a fact, it is non contestable. Unless those facts change, the Senate remains the House of reference as the Upper House of this Republic. We must always interpret the Constitution both in letter and spirit. The spirit of the Constitution and the spirit of the entire Kenyan public was that when they were voting for Senators, they were voting for the Members of the Upper House. That is why people with distinguished careers like hon. Sen. Wetangula, Sen. G. G. Kariuki, Sen. Amos Wako, ... view
• 22 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker. Sen. Murkomen said that he had nothing else useful to say and then he now says that he wants to say something. I would advise him not to say anything that is not useful to this House. view
• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for granting my request. When I made this request this afternoon to the Speaker, I had been reliably informed that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Senator Orengo referred to the fact that the proposed legislation by Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale is one which would have properly been before the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. He further makes an assertion that this can only happen when wisdom visits that Committee. Is it right for Sen. Orengo to insinuate that there is no wisdom in that Committee? view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank and congratulate Sen. Musila. Mine is to add a rider to this development. Those of us who had roads know that they have all been washed away. Many of you will be travelling to Mombasa and you will see this for yourselves. The road from the airport is congested and an overhaul of the infrastructure is long overdue. The city has grown but the road infrastructure has not grown. Therefore, that means that as we go into this new phase of development, we must continue to blacklist people who did substandard ... view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am here just to remind the Senate of its responsibility; its responsibility is to protect the interests of the county. view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Do not speak as if you are representing largely and fully the interest of the national Government. You might be in an arrangement of a coalition which forms the Executive, but your interest in this Senate is defined. There can be no better interest than to give a clean slate to our counties to start afresh, notwistanding how these debts were acquired, because it is the responsibility of that national Government that was here to pay these debts. I do not feel it is appropriate for the people of Mombasa to start on the devolution agenda on account of a ... view
