• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would not exasperate you with the same issue. Just to draw your attention and that of Members that we recently lost one colleague to COVID-19 and the numbers do not look good. I have seen two Members use the same microphone without a mask and before it is sanitized. I am not pointing at any part of this House, but we are not all distanced properly and there is space to sit. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge Members that even if you have been vaccinated, do not take it lightly. Our departed colleague had been vaccinated. ... view

• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We appreciate your clarification that we now go back to the status quo where the Senate Majority Leader and the Seconder have an hour and the Chair of the Committee has 30 minutes. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: The reason the Chairperson of the Committee has 30 minutes is because he has led this process ably and penned a report. I also have a minority report that informs the debate. Therefore, while the Chairperson needs 30 minutes, I need 60 minutes to move the minority report so as to give context. I would like to be treated equally as the Chairperson in terms of the time given so that Members can understand the different perspective in the minority report. I request for your discretion to give me at least 40 minutes. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, that is the reason why earlier on I sought direction which the substantive Speaker did not give as to what point and to what extent I can give the Members the minority report. The questions the Members are asking are captured to some extent in the minority report which addresses the emphatic declaration by the Committee on unconstitutionality. It would have been good order because Members would contribute and the Chair’s presentation is giving information to Members on what happened. It would be good for us also after the Chair has finished to hear the contrary view ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: proclamation of unconstitutionality so that when Members debate, they can be able to have both sides of the coin in that respect. That direction was not given by the Speaker. I asked yesterday at our House Business Committee, I have asked twice today and again, I am asking you, Madam Deputy Speaker, being on the Chair, for good order. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is all right. view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to the Division of Revenue Bill. I would, first of all, like to pass kind regards and compliments from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia to the Parliament of Kenya. I have been leading a delegation there on labour issues. We have more than 88,000 Kenyans here and a lot to come and report. We shall be making that report back to the House. view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Senator for Garissa who was sworn in the Session earlier today. I did not get an opportunity to speak, but I wish him all the best as he takes over from where the late Sen. Haji who was a friend to all of us, left off. view
