• 11 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, let me set the ball rolling by commending you in the manner in which you have handled this matter. You have chosen the path of sobriety and fidelity to the Constitution. As a House, even the dignity we have in the country and the respect largely rests on the fact that, as our Speaker, you have come out to defend and protect the Constitution and this House. Secondly, I want to join the Senate Minority Leader in congratulating the Senate Majority Leader and Sen. Murkomen because they have come out in the media very well and ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in Senate: So, we should follow the constitutional mechanism instead of us playing games outside the structure of the Constitution. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is no other moment to bring up this. Despite your statement and what this House has said in the last 40 minutes, I understand that the Division of Revenue Bill has been assented to. That now puts us in a very difficult situation. I just wanted to give that information. We may want to adjourn and go into a Kamukunji or something like that. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Speaker, in the normal way of the National Assembly, has already made a Statement to the National Assembly that the Bill has been assented to. So, it is not speculation but the truth. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether I will be in order, but under your guidance, I really think that we should adjourn the business of the House and go into a Kamukunji, because it means that everything that we are discussing here may have no consequence, so that from now on we will know how to handle this kind of thing. ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order No.31 and for the reasons that I have already stated while seeking your direction, I formally move that the House do adjourn for the purpose of discussing this issue in a Kamukunji. This adjournment is only to the next sitting day, which is tomorrow morning. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will ask Sen. Murkomen to second as required. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in Senate: Just put the question! view
• 2 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you see what Sen. Musila did while the Speaker’s retinue was in procession? He just joined and became part of the procession. He did not even wait for you to take your Seat. Is that in order for somebody who has been a Deputy Speaker? view
• 2 Jun 2013 in Senate: I need your direction, Mr. Speaker, Sir--- view
• 2 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize. I just wanted to know from the Chair when you are in procession and you have not taken your seat, could any Member join the procession? Sen. Musila came nearly as part of your procession. He was at the tail end of your procession. I am saying this because next time I can decide to be ahead, in the middle or at the tail end of your procession. I just need clarity on this. view
• 2 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had listened to the other contributors to this Motion and appreciate the presentations and interventions by the Members who spoke. But I still urge the House to support the Motion. This is because if you take an inventory of the laws which are still in the statute books; some which even emanate from the period before the Second World War, that relate to various forms of legislation that now affect counties, you will find that unless an exercise of this nature is taken to correct any legislation which may undermine the authority of the devolved system ... view
