• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Very well. Tuesday! view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: We have not reached there. You are not even on the list, so, if you could wait for a while, we will finish with the listed ones and then come to you. MANAGEMENT OF REVENUE COLLECTED FROM MAASAI MARA GAME RESERVE Now, the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, do you have a response for Sen. Leshore? view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Sen. Abdirahman, I have referred to Article 125 on very many occasions, particularly last week and even last week, but one. In this case, I will leave it to the Chairpersons of the Committees, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., but if they have problems and they want us to help them use Article 125, they are welcome. However, from where I am seated, it will be difficult for me to make a specific order on each occasion. The Chairperson of each Committee knows that there is Article 125 of the Constitution which they can use when and if necessary. Sen. Haji, ... view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Yes, that will be very helpful, but of course, we also have the problem that sometimes when we invite the Cabinet Secretaries, as in your specific case this week, they sometimes do not show up. You explained very well that you understood the reasons. So, there are all those constraints, but I reckon that we must continue making every effort and when we find that there is indolence on the part of a Cabinet Secretary or other government officers then we use Article 125 of the Constitution. That is my direction on that issue. Sen. Keter, proceed with your statement. ... view

Senators, I have a communication to make on a Special Sitting of the Senate to consider the report of the Special Committee on the Proposed Removal from Office of the Governor for Murang’a County. Hon. Senators, as you may be aware, or as you may recall, yesterday Wednesday, 4th November, 2015, I issued a communication to the effect that I had appointed Saturday, 7th November, 2015 as a date for a Special Sitting of the Senate to consider the report of the Special Committee on the proposed removal from Office of the Governor for Murang’a County. After my communication, ... view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Sen. Keter. The only thing I cannot do is to recall those who maybe overseas already, but all local Committee meetings and all travel scheduled for tomorrow are hereby cancelled. That is the point I was making. That will be the position so that if, for instance, you had a meeting in Naivasha or Mombasa tomorrow afternoon, you can plan to go on Saturday. There will be no meeting of the Senate Committees anywhere tomorrow afternoon. Proceed, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Sorry, Senator, are you still on statements? view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: I will give you a chance. I am sorry I overlooked it because I had promised you. Proceed, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Is it on a different thing? view
• 5 Nov 2015 in Senate: Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., we can only do our best. I have done a communication and I hope that you will be here and everybody else. All l can say is that I have issued a communication and I want to believe that the office of the Speaker and that of the Clerk will do everything possible to ensure that all Senators are informed. That closes the issue. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I will go back on the Order Paper to indulge you. view
