• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Unfortunately, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was three times; I was looking at him right in the face, expecting that something else will emerge or, probably, a communication will be made from the Chair. But you have already answered my question by saying there is no seat that is vacant in the Senate, so far. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are not giving me sufficient time to prosecute the point. The manner in which we vote is provided by the Constitution so that the public out there, when the name of the Senator is called, and it is not just the name of the Senator that is called, but the name of the county which is also being called. When there is no response, then the public assumes the Senator is not there, or there is no representation. Normally, what the Clerk does is that he reads out the name of the Senator and the ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think I addressed the Senate or the Chamber at length on this Motion, but also on the amendment. But I would urge the House to support the amendment and for those who, probably, were not here yesterday, it was the general view at least of all the Senators who were here and who expressed and pronounced themselves on this amendment that it was necessary for the issue to be recommitted back to the Committee so that it can come back with a more comprehensive report. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg your indulgence that the vote on this particular Motion and the amendment be postponed. That has been the trend. Today, we voted for Orders No.8, 9 and 10 and debates were finalised at an earlier date. It appears as if once we vote on the amendment, the Motion may suffer the same consequences. So, I plead with you. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. I want to recap what my colleagues have said and go beyond what has been said; that this is not a simple matter. It goes to the very root of the system of government that we have established. Where matters of this nature are involved, we, as Senators, must go beyond partisanship, look at each and every case on the basis of facts under law as presented to us. The Governor of Turkana is a friend and colleague. I have worked with him and know ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: We cannot run away from it. If we want to deal with this thing in Turkana, we must compare it to what happened at the Westgate Mall. Therefore, the whole intelligence community must be put to account. If I was occupying those positions, all those five characters or so, should not be there. They should have gone like yesterday.

• 2 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I first spoke on the main Motion, I anticipated an amendment like this. I thank the Mover of the amendment, because then, the Senate will be doing something on the basis of specific action to be taken and a clearer report on this issue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was coming in when my brother, the Senator for Laikipia, was speaking and cannot have any doubt that he knows what he is talking about. This is because Sen. G.G Kariuki is a man of tremendous experience in the workings of the Government. As was suggested ... view
