• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Order! Well, I did not ask you, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Are you talking about The Political Parties (Amendment) Bill or are you interested in the other one? This is in quotes, inverted comas stating that “This is the Message from the National Assembly.” I do not know whether we are together. It says:- “Whereas the National Assembly in the same sitting rejected the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.3 of 2014 at Second Reading.” Within the provisions of Article 112, they appointed a Mediation Committee. What is the problem there? They rejected our amendments at the Second Reading. That is why we want to go to mediation and see ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: At the risk of repeating myself, let me say this; what I have read to you as a Message from the Speaker of the National Assembly, I have read it to you faithfully, verbatim. That is why when I was coming to a close, I told you that the inverted comas had started because I had not said in inverted comas at the word “Pursuant to the provisions”. So, you must take that body of my message to you as what has come from the Speaker of the National Assembly. That includes the issue that you, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale. We will not protract this issue anymore. You are a Member of the Committee. If you are seeking to withdraw from that Committee then, I will have to reconstitute it. But the moment the Speaker thinks that the four of you should be able to sort out this issue, should you go and find out that what you are saying is correct – I have no way of knowing at the moment as I sit here – then you will come and report and say: “The Mediation Committee cannot go on because there was plagiarisation of our ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.! Order, Sen. Wako! Let us have some order. You have canvassed an important issue. I do not want you then to tell me you did not follow what went on. Sen. Wako has come in late and he is in that Committee. Therefore, I do not want him to drag us back. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: You are talking about the future not the specific communication, is that right? view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: That is an issue on which you can bring a substantive Motion. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Very well. That settles the issue. Both Sen. Kagwe and Sen. Murkomen have put it very well. Even if there was plagiarisation, and I am not making a judgment on that; they looked at the plagiarised Bill which you say was your Bill; they rejected It and adopted their own. That is a rejection. That is what the message says. Therefore you must go and tell them: “You plagiarised our Bill. We are either going to reinstate our Bill or we are not going along with yours.” That is why you are going to mediate. At the end of the ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Hon. Senators, before I allow comments on the Petition, the Senate is in the process of considering The Registration and Identification of Persons Bill (Senate Bill No.39 of 2014) which addresses some of the challenges identified in the petition. Accordingly, I would like the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations to speedily conclude consultations with stakeholders with regard to the Bill to enable the same to be scheduled for the Second Reading. Pursuant to Standing No.226, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the petition, for not more than 30 minutes. This is debate. ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Hon. Senators, I request you to be brief. There are a lot of requests. view
