• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Adan! Before we proceed, I have a very short communication to make. You may take your seat. view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Hon. Members, I would like to acknowledge the presence in the Public Gallery this afternoon of a visiting delegation of county assembly staff from Turkana County Assembly. The county assembly staffers are here on a one week attachment programme at the parliamentary library and human resources department. Since they are in the Public Gallery, I will not ask them to stand and be recognised because they were not able to be in the Speaker’s Gallery for reasons that are known to them. I hope that the delegation has had a fruitful programme. On behalf of the Senate and my own ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale! You know that in this particular case, they ought to have been in the Speaker’s Gallery, but the reason I did not call their names out is because I cannot see them. The Speaker has not yet stopped from recognizing people in the Public Gallery like we always recognise students from various schools when they are in the Public Gallery. What is your point of order, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.? view

So, they cannot fit there. They come to learn, we recognise, appreciate and encourage them to learn and go back to their schools and do well. That is the outstanding tradition of this Senate.

• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Maybe they were not listening and we must give everybody a chance to speak. You do not want to appear like you are gagging them. Before you came in, we had a debate about gagging Members from saying what they want to say. I do not want to be accused of gagging anybody from doing what they are supposed to do but I have heard you. Proceed, Sen. Adan.

• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Adan. Are you going to move the Motion? view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Move the Motion then. view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Sen. Adan, you have to move the Motion. You have to start that, you want to move the following Motion which is now this one, and then you have to read it. view
