• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an interesting issue but at the same time, it is a very simple and straightforward matter. It does not concern what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has raised. It is either in conformity with the law or not. As Sen. Sang says, the regulations are there to bar or allow somebody to hold a certain position. As lawmakers, we must make sure that the law is followed and obeyed. This is an issue that will easily be laid before the relevant Committee. It is an interesting Petition because the petitioner has clearly set out the law for ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In order to put Sen. Sang on the right track, I explained the issue to Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o. The blame was not on the Speaker’s Office. The requests had been approved immediately and promptly by the Speaker but they have been lying somewhere else. Although Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o had said that the delay was in the Speaker’s Office, I explained to him and I believe he accepted it. The stamp and the date of approval were clear that the Speaker had acted promptly in the approval of those statements. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Senator in order to confuse the Kenya Airways with the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA)? view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to start by thanking the Chairman and his Committee for the expeditious manner in which they have dealt with this issue which was of grave concern to me and the people of Murang’a County.

Musila, ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the clarification I am seeking is whether the Committee is going to follow the recommendation of Sen. Musila’s Committee and refer this issue to the relevant committee so that we, the people of Murang’a County, either get restitutive justice where this money is returned to us or what is going to happen because this is not personal money. It is money that is coming from the sweat of people and it is taxpayers’ money. The Musila Committee had made almost final findings on the way forward on this issue. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Sen. Kembi-Gitura): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not know that we had finished with the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o. I thought that you would give me a right of reply. I thought Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o was still on his feet and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo was raising a point of order on what--- view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, was that your statement? Sen. Murkomen, are you on a point of order or do you want to seek a clarification? view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Then wait, that is not a point of order. Proceed, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Proceed, Sen. Elachi. Sen. Billow, there are very many interventions. So, take note of them. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Order Senators! This is an important debate taking place. I would like us to hear each other. May I remind the Members that you are seeking clarifications? Do not enter into new debate. view
