• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Hon. Senators, there are a number of statements as listed on the Order Paper. Are there any Senators asking for statements so that we can start with them? DETENTION OF MR. DON BOSCO OOGA GICHANA IN ARUSHA, TANZANIA view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: What do you have to say, Sen. Dullo? view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Sen. Sang, that is not entirely correct, that the assumption that since it is the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordinaton of National Government, he has to be within the country. I know that, as well as everybody else. Your interpretation about the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government is too narrow. It is not possibly acceptable. Having said that, Sen. Adan, yesterday, like Sen. Okong’o has said, I gave direction on that issue because it has taken too long. It cannot be sufficient reason that the Cabinet Secretary is out of the country or is not ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: In what context did you use the word, ‘harassing’? view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: I can see some requests, but I do not want to protract this issue because we canvassed it at great length yesterday afternoon. However, I do not agree with Sen. Kagwe that Sen. Okong’o is harassing Sen. Dullo. Sen. Okong’o or any other Senator seeking a statement does not look behind the chairperson to know why it is not coming.

• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Dullo! You cannot say that it is not your responsibility. You are the Chairperson of the Committee. A question or a statement has been sought. Therefore, the people who have sought it expect an answer. What you do to get it is not the business of the House. You must give a statement when it is sought. You can explain the way you have done now, but you cannot shift the responsibility to someone else. The Standing Orders and the Constitution give you the powers to deal with such situations. That is all I can say. I want ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: You are quoting us out of context. The ruling I made about a week ago at the behest of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, was that there is nothing against the law or the regulations, for a statement to be signed for or on behalf of a CS. There is nothing that says that it must bear the signature of the CSs themselves. Incidentally, in the Presidential system that we are using, it is actually the statement from you, as the Chairperson of the Committee, not anybody else. Unless somebody wants to look behind the statement, it is the statement of the ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Dullo. There are some statements that need to be issued. The first one is 3(a) if from the Sen. of Murang’a. However, I do not see the person who is supposed to issue it. It will be stood over to Tuesday, next week. Sen. Khaniri, that is for you to issue.
