• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to emphasize the traditions of Parliament. There is nothing that says Sen. Murkomen should sit on the other side, but he has faithfully sat on the other side because that is the tradition. The Majority sits on the right of the Speaker and the Minority sits on the left. These are traditions and conventions that have been kept in this Parliament. Even when it was unicameral and now bi-cameral, they must be observed if we want to maintain order in the House. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious Motion. In a hundred years’ time, people will want to read what the Senate said on this important Motion. For the last 10 minutes, people have been rising on points of order, some of which are not grounded on any Standing Order. I would plead with you, and if we go by the records of this House, all the impeachment Motions that have come, either to establish a Committee or in the debate, people have tended to address the core issues raised in the Motion or in ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. A point of argument can never be out of order. In fact, he is suggesting arguments that Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko should propose. That is Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko’s opinion. You cannot impose opinion of another Member on another Member who has a different opinion. That is not a point of order.

• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we better go to the substances instead of having points of order which have no basis. In fact, there is a time that hon. Marende insisted that when you stand on a point of order, cite the Standing Order first and then continue from there. The way we are operating, everything is a point of order. view

• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: The Speaker has been allowing points of order. We are not seeking vengeance; we are seeking justice and justice has got two sides. The people of Kirinyaga have got their expectations but the issue before the Senate is not about what is being said out there; it is what is being presented before the Senate. Facts are stubborn. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: We may as well go and have a baraza in Kirinyaga. That is an alternative but the rules say we must stick here. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to the County Government Act, 2012, the Constitution and the Schedule to the Standing Orders, there are parties who are before the Senate. I invite you to look at the Schedule particularly and even the County Government Act, 2012. The parties that are going to appear before you are the Governor and the county assembly and you are going to administer the cases presented by these two parties. If you want to bring in a third party, then we are not talking about the case which has been filed before the Senate. I have quoted the ... view
