• 2 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what the point of order was, but I have, at least, succeeded in waking up Sen. Njoroge. Normally on any other Motion, he would be free and be the first to stand up to contribute. Since it is the right of Senators to take a vote, I would like to say that this Motion is a good Motion. If we want to protect devolution, all Senators should support it. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the footsteps of the “lion king of Meru” I must congratulate you because as I walked in, I knew that the words of wisdom were flowing from that Chair. I can now truly say that in our wisdom you were elected to be the Speaker of the Senate. As you know, rulings by Speakers are not only precedent-setting for our country. I am sure that one of these fine days, not just in the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with you fully that the suggestion by the Professor is not sufficient. Voting is by Delegation. It goes on record to show how a delegation has voted and through who. Therefore, other than processing the authority of the Speaker, the Head of that Delegation should come with that authority before the House, so that if there is a matter, it is put to debate. This is to ensure that a big delegation like that one from Baringo--- The other time, it was joined by the Delegation from ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, just to be clear on how the Committee of the House handles a Bill, I will refer to Standing Order No.134. The Bill has now been committed to the Committee of the Whole, as required under Standing Order No.133. Then, Standing Order No.134 says:- “In considering a Bill in Committee, the various parts thereof shall be considered in the following sequence – (a) clauses as printed, excluding the clause providing for the citation of the Bill, the commencement, if any, and the interpretation; (b) new clauses; (c) schedules; (d) new schedules; (e) interpretation (f) preamble, if any; ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I was just saying that there is a tradition. That is why I was referring to these proceedings. But I agree that there is no rule which ties--- view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I request to move an amendment to the Motion. I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- By deleting the word “4th” after the word “Tuesday” and inserting therein the word “11th.” So that, in effect, what the Motion proposes to do is to extend the period of adjournment and recess with another one week. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Motion is informed by the fact that ever since we started our sittings, it is necessary – just as the Chief Whip, the Mover, has indicated – that we go back to ... view

• 22 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order on the basis that a question has arisen in the National Assembly on whether the Division of Revenue Bill is properly before the House. It is important, before proceeding with debate, for the Chair to make a determination whether this Bill is properly before the House. Otherwise it may be an exercise in futility for us to go on with the debate when the legitimacy of the debate is in question. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware that there were some informal discussions between the leaderships of the ... view

• 22 May 2013 in Senate: In fact, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you could allow me to begin from the beginning, I think it is better to look at Article 109 first before you look at Article 110. Article 109 says:- “(1) Parliament shall exercise its legislative power through Bills passed by Parliament and assented to by the President.” It is important to emphasize the word “Parliament.” “(2) Any Bill may originate in the National Assembly.” And (3), which is the important one states:- (3) A Bill not concerning county government is considered only in the National Assembly, and passed in accordance with Article 122 ... view
