• 20 Sep 2018 in Senate: been processed by the SBC chaired by the Speaker. The Speaker was on the Chair and he said that this matter should be in the Order Paper. Now, when it comes to the question of conduct, that is a matter before another Committee. If you want us to discuss the question of conduct, then bring a substantive Motion and then we will discuss it, which is also very important. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in Senate: However, we cannot deny the public a Report which has, more or less, been unanimously agreed upon by the Committee. The Committee is saying that any one of the Members can move the Motion. There are many Members here, even on the other side; Sen. Faki and Sen. Wamatangi are here. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is wrong. When a matter is put before the House, it then becomes the business of the House. This Motion is now the business of this House. For us to now wait for the Committee to decide whether the Chairperson is there or not ... view

Could you give us some guidance about the timeframe? view
• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. I will paint with a broad brush.

• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my condolences to the family of Ms. Sharon. Many of these things happen because people can do it and get away with it.
