• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that clarification. But arising from what you have said and read from the list, I think that when the Clerk reads out the names in a multiple membership delegations, like Nairobi, once the name of the head of that delegation is read out and is found to be absent, the names of the other Members of the delegation are not read. This is because if they are read, then they can indicate whether or not there have been consultations and they have an instrument that allows them to vote, after being designated by the ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that the Committee systems are important, particularly in processing work for debate in the House. Of course, they have other responsibilities, but that should not be used to curtail the freedom of individual Members to bring a Bill before the House and persuade us that, indeed, there is merit in that Bill. This is because at this rate, then it would mean that individual Members will have to persuade the Committees before any Bill can come for Second Reading. I think that these are issues that can be dealt with during the debate. In any ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while agreeing with the ruling of the Chair, the matter that is still hanging--- view
• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I could have your ear. 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

• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am further seeking your direction without going back to your ruling. Unfortunately or fortunately, I belong to this Committee. So, I stand accused. If you look at Standing Order No.43--- view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Yes, I belong to the Committee. I just wanted, for efficient operations of this Committee, when matters of Statements arise, if you look at Standing Order No.43, the request is made to the Chairman of the Committee which is mandated with those particular responsibilities, but under those Standing Orders, there is no requirement that the matter is placed before the Committee. I am saying this as a member of that Committee because the issues have not arisen in the Committee although I have tremendous confidence in the leadership of that Committee. For better operation of this Committee, there should be ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I agree with the remarks and directions on this matter and also with Sen. Wako, I am concerned, because in any government which takes governance seriously, what arises from the National Assembly or the Senate is of critical importance. In fact, if I was occupying the Office of the Senate Majority Leader, who I baptize “the leader” without any further adjectives, now I am beginning to regret, that having called him the leader, it will be incumbent upon him at the end of every day, to take an audit of what transpired and what is required ... view
