• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was rising on a point of order in regard to the guidance you have given the hon. Senator from Nyeri and I was looking at this particular Standing Order when a request of Statement is made. The Standing Order indicates that the request is made seeking a Statement from a Committee Chairperson, it is not a Statement from the executive. What I was wondering is that, is it in order for a Committee through the Chair to bring a Statement in which it will relay to the House the position given ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second and also register my appreciation for the leadership of Sen. Kiraitu Murungi in piloting this work to conclusion and reporting to the Rules and Business Committee (RBC), chaired by you. I would also like to congratulate the Members of this sub-committee who worked tirelessly in order to make sure that we have these rules for consideration, and as we may know, that is contained in the Report. The Standing Orders, as they stand today, were approved by the National Assembly in the Tenth Parliament in exercise of powers which ... view

• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senate Minority Leader was correct because in so far as the election of the Senate Majority Leader in that position is concerned, we cannot know whether it was by consensus; whether Jubilee and within it URP and TNA had a deal. So, regardless of how they worked out as to who should be the leader in the House, Sen. Wetangula is quite right. We are not saying that you are not fit to be there, but if it was done in a smoking room somewhere behind State House, so be it. You should be happy! view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Do not allow the lawyers to play legal gymnastics. Let them come up properly before the House and tell us under which Standing Order this amendment is being moved. view

• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is something developing in the House when somebody stands on a point of order and in the end, it is not a point of order. The rules of debate are there to make sure that there is articulate and free flowing debate whenever a Member stands to give his or her views. Sen. Sang whom I respect very much, has just compounded a sin he committed when he stood up in the first place. In my days, he would have been thrown out, but he is a young man. But what I am pleading with ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We would not be discussing this Motion if Sen. Wetangula was not re-elected. In winning back the seat, he did so with an overwhelming majority. The other thing that pleases me immensely is that I did not see any Senator from the Opposite side campaigning; I do not know whether that was by design, but I took it as a sign of support for Sen. Wetangula. I think that is a good sign. If there is any Senator who shows good leadership and belongs to the party opposite, Senators would be reluctant to be ... view
