• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, will I be in order to say that the Petition that is being read here has been trimmed from its original version? This document is not about the Senator who is presenting it, neither the Chair nor the Senators here. It is about the residents who wrote it.

• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are guided by the Standing Orders in this House. Standing Order No.45(4) provides for 10 minutes. It does not provide that it starts and ends within 10 minutes and that no other Senators shall make a contribution. Standing Order No.46 is different from Standing Order No.45 and both cannot be read and applied together. If this is a Personal Statement, we would be guided by the Standing Orders. However, because it is of a topical nature, there is no reason why we should not make a contribution. If allowed, we are not going to discuss ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not challenging the Chair, but Standing Order No.45 (4) is not applicable in this matter. Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o did not issue the statement under Standing Order No.46. Tomorrow, you may transfer Stranding Order 70 to be read together with Standing Order 81 and tell us that, that is the ruling. The Standing Orders must be obeyed. We can read between the lines that what is being applied is not right. I rest my case. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, this is my first day this year to make a contribution. First, it is my sincere gesture to wish everybody including the Speaker on the Chair, best wishes and successful 2016 and wish the Senate all the best.

• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I looked at this Bill and quickly moved to consult the Mover. I raised certain issues with Sen. Sijeny. Those of us who were involved with the new Constitution that is in place at the Kenya Institute of Education (KIE), we had an extremely difficult time sorting out how our sisters and mothers in this country would be accommodated in the new Constitution, in terms of having their positions in leadership. We were faced with a very crucial position. Despite the fact that we need the two- thirds to be either of one gender and one-third ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: In fact, that is why I have said it needs to be redrafted to represent the true position of what you have just mentioned, because it is already in the Constitution and we cannot go against it. It should be redrafted and brought again to the Floor of the House. However, it will never see the light of day in this House if we proceed with it the way it is.

• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the right thing would be to propose that the special seats for the women be doubled from 47 probably to 94; by having two women representatives from every county. That gives the number that is required, hence fulfilling the one-third gender requirement. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my sister, Sen. Sijeny, who is also a Member of Wiper Democratic Movement and a senior legal advisor within the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) fraternity, should relook at this Bill again and redraft it in the best way possible. She should propose something that is achievable and we will be open to passing this Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rest my case. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with a lot of pain, I rise to contribute to this Motion. Sen. Mugo narrated very clearly what necessitated her to seek this Statement. This matter affects Kenyans. I congratulate you, Sen. Mugo, for being concerned about a poor Kenyan who had no capacity even to come and approach you. This is a poor mother who was pregnant, had labour pains and went to the best maternity hospital in this country expecting to give birth to her twins, bring them up to add to the population of this country and to bring up Kenyans who might ... view
