• 13 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was hoping that the Vice Chairperson of the Committee will say how much work they have done on it. This is a pertinent issue. I believe that the issues that I have raised will not be swept under the carpet. The relevant governor should be called with his team to come and answer those questions and be interrogated. I expect that the Report that was tabled here by this Select Committee will be interrogated and the issues that they raised will be looked into. That is all I am The electronic version of the Senate Hansard ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not like that attitude. You appreciate that Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo was a Member of the select committee. I respect the findings that they made but it is due to the recommendations that they did that certain things must be explained to the satisfaction of this House, the people of Murang’a and Kenyans. Therefore, it is not enough for him to tell me that it is not for me to tell them what to do. I am not doing that but I expect them to do what is right. What is ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important debate on the Presidential Address which was given two weeks ago. I know that my colleagues have debated several issues that appeared in the Presidential Address. Therefore, I will look into one or two issues. The President spoke at great length about what he called the nationalist covenant. That was very important; he spoke about it because Article 10 of our Constitution talks about the national values. The national values are some of the most important things to consider in our nationalism and in ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a little surprised because Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is one person I have a lot of respect for when it comes to enforcement of House rules and Standing Orders. A very important thing has being brought to his attention by Sen. (Dr.) Machage. This is Standing Order No.114. At that moment, what he is calling loud consultations, if they had stopped when the Speaker asked them to stop, no action would have been taken against them. The Speaker was only enforcing Standing Order No.114. He gave them a chance to stop doing what they were doing, ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was very keen on this inauguration because Sen. Wetangula is my friend. So, I was very keen to see how it was going to proceed. Of course, we were worried because we were hearing that there might be a disruption of the inauguration. However, I am happy about one thing that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said in his statement; this seems to be an in-house thing, where for a change, there is no blame on Jubilee at all. It is a totally an in-house thing. The only worry, which I believe is the worry of all ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. All of us, Senators, have bodyguards that we go around with and all of them come from the national Government. Many times you will find teargas canisters with your security people in your cars. So, you cannot possibly state that this is a province of the national Government and that those teargas canisters must have come from the national Government.

• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want my friend, Sen. Khaniri, to understand me very well. It is not right to assume that lawfully acquired teargas canisters cannot end up in the wrong hands. I am happy that at least, the Senate Minority Leader himself and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale have made it clear that this was an in-house thing. So, investigations must be carried out. You must tell us how your people got control of teargas canisters. view
