• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will try to limit my contribution to probably ten minutes to set the pace so that everybody can get a chance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. As I do so, I want it to be known that in my practice of law over many years, I have tended to represent people who are accused of various offences in criminal cases over many years. The tendency that I have developed over the years is to act as a defence lawyer and therefore to presume the innocence of everybody who appears before any tribunal. ... view

• 4 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. I just wanted to emphasize what the Senate Majority Leader said earlier. In the year 1801, there were similar proceedings in the USA. When the matters came before the Senate on Saturday, 23rd February, that year, the counsel who addressed the Senate by the name Luther Martin said this, and I quote:- 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

• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: No, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not offering an explanation. I am just drawing the Speaker’s attention to the conduct of the Senator for Busia. His microphone is constantly on which may lead to an assumption that when he wants to speak, it is a matter of right instead of a matter in the Speaker’s discretion.

• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand under Standing Order No.1 which gives you discretion. The discretion is subject to the Constitution and the Standing Orders.

Standing Order No.50(a) states that the following Motions may be moved without notice. “(a) Motion by way of amendment to a question already proposed by the Chair.” As matters stand and as far as that order is concerned, a question has been proposed but a question has not been put.

• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that Sen. Murkomen is a very good lawyer. However, in geography, he scores very badly. These are neighbouring counties. He may think of Tana in terms of where Hola is. However, he does not know where Tana begins and where it ends. Strictly speaking, these three counties are neighbours and that is a matter of fact. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What I want to say is unrelated to what I was trying to do in terms of this amendment. However, you heard Sen. Murkomen cast some aspersions on my conduct. This cannot go without you considering what I will say. He said that during the debate, I was walking in and out.
