• 30 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of Order. Sen. Sang did not understand why Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was looking at the two of them. It is because they are the more reasonable components of Jubilee. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in Senate: Is he in order to take that favourable look to look like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was intimidating? He just meant that you are the more--- view
• 30 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Serjeant-At- Arms may not be able to give you sufficient information about the school and why they are here. If you get that information, it will be half the information. Now that the Senator from the County is here, could he be allowed to introduce the students to the Senate and the Chair acknowledge them. It is not good enough to just say the Speaker acknowledges The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am saying this because from the Chair respectfully, you are adding more confusion to a very confused situation. That is why I agree with Sen. G.G. Kariuki that the Public Gallery is always open to the public. That is the fundamental principle. The introductions that the Speakers normally make are when you are on the Speaker’s Gallery on invitation. When you are acknowledging the presence of guests in the Chamber, they see you and you see them. However, if there is a group that is sitting in the Public Gallery that wants to be or ... view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fully support the sentiments of Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo and the petition. However, you cannot honour the dead if you cannot honour the living. Yesterday I saw an incident where we were mourning the father of one us and the Speaker of the Senate was not allowed to say a word on such an important occasion. view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we cannot respect your office as the Speaker which is a constitutional office, what about when you leave office? You will be as good as dead. We must begin by recognizing the offices that are there now, so that if Sen. Murkomen comes to Siaya, I will recognise his office without a doubt. Whatever problem we may have with each other, but if he appears anywhere as a leader, that position must be recognised. Woe unto those persons who were responsible for the incident yesterday where our Speaker did not utter a word while the likes ... view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a serious matter and it has been made serious by the honuorable Senator for Mombasa. If it is true that probably he caught your eye but he made it worse by saying he negotiated with you because he has to catch a flight---. If that is a tradition, then it means, every time we want to speak we have to negotiate. I can tell you that all of us have many problems. I have been sitting here waiting to go and meet somebody I am representing in court tomorrow where ... view
• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will try to finish what I have to say in the next five minutes. What is worrying me about this resolution by the President and the people who work around him, under the slogan “can’t pay, won’t pay” when there is a court order. If you say that you cannot pay, and there is a court order; those who are lawyers here know the consequences of saying “I can’t pay, won’t pay” when there is a court order. It means that you are disobeying a court order and, therefore, should be view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion. We are performing a very important constitutional and legislative function. The Chairman has said quite rightly that if we do not approve the Schedule, then the Treasury will not oblige by sending these funds although issues of audit will come back to us later. I just want to emphasise the point that there cannot be these allocations and approvals without accountability. If we had time to debate this matter, it would have been an occasion to demonstrate to governors and county governments that having performed a constitutional function of making sure that they ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to follow up on what Sen. Kagwe said. Is it possible to send the schedule together with the resolution of the Senate so that when I go to Siaya County tomorrow, I can demonstrate the Schedule and the resolution and tell them that without me, they would not have had the money? view
