• 28 Sep 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have noticed that you are a bit liberal in issuing interventions, which are just interruptions. Let me draw your attention to the Standing Orders, and I hope that Sen. Pareno and the rest are listening. Standing Order No. 87(1) states that:- “Any Senator may raise a point of order at any time during the speech of another Senator, stating that the Senator raises on a point of order and that Senator shall be required to indicate the Standing Order upon which the point of order is based.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, those are points of ... view

• 14 Sep 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hate to interrupt the Senate Majority Leader. The Motion that we are discussing is very important to this country, but I note that we have all been issued with a Cash Disbursement Schedule that is not clear. We have around 15 columns without headings; it just has numbers, unless I have received a wrong copy. Could you kindly direct that the Members receive a copy of the Schedule with appropriate headings for each of those columns? Could we also be given a copy of the report that was prepared by the ... view

• 14 Sep 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Due to the limitation of time, I will just go straight to the point. I have had a chance to mention to you some of the concerns I have pursuant to some of the Standing Orders, but I appreciate the urgency with which we need to dispense with this matter. I join Sen. Moi to remind the Senators that even as we move along, I know this disbursement schedule is for the entire financial year. However, there are certain issues that we would need to revisit when it comes to disbursement of money to counties. ... view

• 14 Sep 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I take this opportunity to congratulate the great Senator for Tharaka-Nithi County, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki Kithure on his election. I first met him in a dusty town called Kathwana when he sought the ticket of the party that I chaired then to vie as the Senator for Tharaka-Nithi County. Since then, I have come to know him as a man of great intellect, impeccable character and unquestionable integrity. He will serve this House diligently. Secondly, I also told him that I hope this is not the last time I am voting for him. That is a ... view

• 13 Sep 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. At the very onset, I am inspired by the words of Sen. Waqo. I shall begin by quoting a verse from the Bible, Romans 13:1 which says that all leadership comes from God. In fact, if I quote it word for word, it says: “Let everyone be subject to the governing authority for there is no authority except that which God has established”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to, first of all, thank God that we are all here. We have been elected by the great people of this country to represent them in ... view
