• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: 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
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, quite apart from what we are engaged in at the moment, I just wanted to draw your attention to Standing Order No.94, because sometimes the way we handle this issue is not in the manner in which it is set out in the Standing Orders. It says:- “A Senator shall be responsible for the accuracy of any facts which the Senator alleges to be true and may be required to substantiate any such facts instantly.” So, a Senator must be confronted instantly with what specific allegations he has made. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, under paragraph (2), ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will table the Report. This Report is to the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs dated 20th February, 2015. In fact, the Commissioners were interrogated on this Report. They have already appeared before the National Assembly on the basis of the Report. The only--- view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all I am saying is that in the report that was given to the National Assembly is very divergent position as opposed to the list that the President gave to Parliament. What the President was being persuaded to do was to have a list of names so that some credence would be given to what the President was saying. However, in actual fact, what is contained in that Report that he presented before the House, is something that should have been properly investigated before he could present it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since my time is ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: I will arrange them together. It shows how the land moved to an Indian family to my father, to myself, to my mother and, finally, to everybody. I do not know what the offence is that the Malvani family on several occasions has been alleged to have sent a chopper to pick me from Nairobi to Jinja. This report was made in 2012. Up to now, I have not been asked to make a Statement on this. The truth of the matter is, I have never travelled between Jinja and Nairobi on a chopper at all or been in contact ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would not have risen on a point of order had it not been for the fact that Sen. Khaniri brought up this issue. In response to that point of order, Sen. Hassan has said that it was Sen. Musila who probably did not vote. During the Division, he was in the Chamber but he somehow left with the Bar still drawn. So, for the integrity of voting, we must be assured that no other doors are open. Can you, in investigating that particular vote, find out how a Senator was able ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wanted to be of help to the Chair and the two leaders. It is rare to have a majority and a minority leader in contention the way they are. At one time, the former Speaker Slade was in a similar situation where allegations were running across from Members and in that instance, hon. Oduya Oprong made an allegation in the House that he saw hon. Mboya give money to hon. Khasakhala. The Speaker ruled that since the allegations were being made by hon. Members, he would leave the House to ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Just on the rule of fairness, what is it exactly that Sen. Wetangula is required to substantiate? I heard very clearly what he said. What the Senate Majority Leader said is a variation of what Sen. Wetangula said. Since then, there have been so many other variations and nobody should be punished unless the offence is specifically stated very clearly. Would I be in order to ask you to look at the HANSARD tomorrow, so that we know specifically what Sen. Wetangula said and not what the Senate Majority Leader thinks ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you see the orderlies crossing the Floor while a distinguished Senator like me froze while you were on your feet? Is this not a demonstration that you have not taught your orderlies very well or am I wrong in bringing that point of order? view
