• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am concerned about the way the matter has come before the House. We are dealing with a matter which is not properly before the House. One, we are now entering into a situation where we are discussing the Senator for Isiolo County, in her absence, to suggest that she has not been attending some of the meetings. This is totally unfair to her. However, I thought that the Senator for Nandi should have brought this matter to the notice of the Speaker so that we--- view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he should have notified your office so that the matter is then properly placed. Otherwise, all of us will just listen to claims from him, the Chair and now the Senate Minority Whip has also brought another angle. There is no record for us to interrogate. It is not properly handled. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am raising this point on account of what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said in regards to the Roads Bill. Whether a Bill is being moved by the Senate Majority Leader, if it is a Government Bill, so to speak, it should be the responsibility of the Committee to pursue it to conclusion.

• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: I want to point out that it would not be right to have the public have an impression that the Speaker and the Speaker‟s Panel is completely absent. The Speaker is there and a Member of the Speaker‟s Panel, Sen. Nyamunga, is also there. We are just reinforcing the Speaker‟s Panel, so that in case we need to take a „commercial break‟, so to speak, there will be somebody to sit on the Chair. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Otherwise, I do not want to take too much time. She deserves to be in that position. My only regret is that it is only for this week. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., the Senate Minority Whip, that in the case of the Senator of Nairobi County, the previous occupant of that office has got largesse so it is possible for him to seek a shorter route. Otherwise, the demand is justified. view
