• 25 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to also go on record to contribute to this very important Motion. First, allow me to congratulate you for being elected as the Speaker of the Senate. There has also been one Speaker of the Senate, the first Senate, and you are now the second elected Speaker of the Senate. While I congratulate you, I am not too sure that I am overly excited about you sitting in that Chair because you were very good on the Floor of the House but unfortunately now, you will not be ... view
• 25 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Motion and hope that the two Senators will be ready and available to be in the Panel and more importantly in order to be prepared to sit in for the Speaker, I would wish that they are tutored by the Speaker himself, because I think in the last Parliament, you really made us proud by being in the Panel. Sometimes I really thought you were the substantive Speaker. So, I hope these Senators will be ready and available to help the Senate discharge its duties and responsibilities. I beg to second. view
• 25 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. The formation of these Committees is important for the operations of the House and there have been consultations through the leadership of the House; the Senate Leader of Majority and the Senate Leader of Minority, the whips and the Rules and Business Committee. This is a true reflection of who should form the Committees as required under the Standing Orders. Just one little matter of detail, I was just wondering why the names are the way they are.

• 25 Apr 2013 in Senate: That is what I was trying to say. You can only have one name. Like in Lamu, you can find somebody called Abdallah Mohamed, but Mohamed Abdallah is not the same person. So, the Clerk should look at the order of names so that when I refer to my very good friend, the only lion in the Senate, his name is Wilfred Machage and not Machage Wilfred. Other than that, I beg to second. view

• 24 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when they see us appearing big as we are, they think we have eaten when we have not eaten. When they see their son, who is as big as I am, seated on the Senate Chair, they think we have eaten. However, these people have not eaten.

• 23 Apr 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Khaniri is so senior in this House that if he comes up with an issue like this on the basis of a point of order, he should be thrown out. It is demeaning for a Senate Minority Leader to be told that he is making his Maiden Speech, when he has made so many speeches before in Parliament. So, this cannot be a Maiden Speech by the Senate Minority Leader. view
• 23 Apr 2013 in Senate: That is a good example! view
• 17 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say the following. Although there has been no justification either by the Leader of the Majority Party or the Leader of the Minority Party why this Procedural Motion is being moved, it is self-evident. However, as a matter of fact, we need to state that there is no business under Standing Order No.39 (3). I beg to support. view
