• 21 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Karaba has just confirmed here that this question was asked last Session around September or October. That was the best time for the Chairperson and the Ministry to have delivered this Statement. Mine was a reminder now that things are getting out of hand. The Chairperson should own and confess that they are unable to execute their mandate. view

• 21 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to talk about Sen. (Dr.) Machage who has exercised his right just like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale when he migrated from the United Democratic Forum (UDF) to his new home? I wish it was somebody else talking and not him. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is a presidential candidate. So, he should relax. I join my colleagues in recognizing that, although we have freedom of brining petitions to be handled in the Senate, the National Assembly or any county assembly, there are some petitions which we should not even encourage. How can a Kenyan in the right state of mind think of encouraging this? This is in view of the damages that consumption of this has caused in Kenya. The issue of drugs has been in the limelight recently. The President and his deputy were in Mombasa trying to destroy ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear Sen. M. Kajwang talk about a secondary school? Could he clarify in what context he mentioned the secondary school? Did he mention it in relation to this plant? view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to ride on what Sen. Sang has said that we have the Senate Implementation Committee that has been mandated to always follow up what the Senate has resolved. What has this Committee done with regard to this urgent request from the former councilors? This request was unanimously approved by this Senate last year. Could the Committee that you will assign this task to be able to inquire from the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution why he has not prioritized this resolution, given the nature of the question and the nature ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of West Pokot and my own behalf, I join my colleagues in remembering our colleague who passed on and condole with the people of the great County of Kwale, and in particular, the family of the late Sen. Boy Juma Boy; our very own who stood, represented and defended devolution with us. As they say, death comes but no one knows when. Those of us who are alive can only remember the good that one has done and encourage ourselves to emulate and stand for the great virtues one had. I ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion which has been tabled by the Senate Majority Leader proposing the composition of the Senate Business Committee. As rightly noted by the other speakers, the old Membership has been retained. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is good to bring to the attention of the House that this Business Committee is a very unique Committee. This is the only Committee that is permanently stationed here. They do not go out for benchmarking. Another revelation is that it does not have an allowance. There is nothing ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Murkomen in order to almost belittle our Speaker, who is seated in the Chair by talking about another House where we are not currently Members? He may have heard rumors but, is it in order for him to bring up issues that are not relevant to this House? view
• 14 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to generalize and want to belittle the profession of beauticians; the people who work in salons? If he knows any individual, he should quote their names so that he does not malign this noble profession where people have invested their money? view
