• 8 Aug 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to note that it is not out of order for any Committee to have seven Members. Our Standing Order No. 185 is clear that a Committee should have not less than seven and not more than nine Members. However, any Committee set up in this House must adhere to the ratios provided for of minority and majority sides, such that the two Members being added should be one from majority and one from minority, so as to maintain the balance.

• 8 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to begin by thanking the Senator for Uasin Gishu as well as the Senator for Bungoma for bringing this Motion.

Wetangula pointed out, in as much as my home is in Nairobi and I was born and raised in the city, I come from Trans Nzoia ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I deputise Sen. Haji in the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. It seems as if the system is reading based on the place, and not on the card, because I have inserted my card. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the point of order raised by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is very interesting, because he is a Member of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. This is a matter on which you need to give us direction. Despite the fact that provisions might be in the Standing Orders, we are in a ... view
