• 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: I appreciate that, but once a question is raised in the House, it becomes the property of the House. It does not really matter whether Sen. (Dr.) Machage is there or not. I asked that question because we have Sen. (Prof.) Lesan, Sen. (Dr.) Machage and Sen (Dr.) Kuti in that Committee and they should be able to give us a true way forward on this important national issue. That is the reason I raised the issue with Sen. (Dr.) Machage. If there is no other statement being sought then that is the end of Statement time. Let us now ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Kivuti is in the House. He is ready to give me an answer to my statement which has been outstanding for a very long time. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You may allow then that the question is stood over generally. I might not be in tomorrow when that answer will be given. However, I had spoken to Sen. Kivuti. It is a very short answer. It would be very good to complete this issue, once and for all. It is a short and satisfactory answer. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Let me thank the Chairman of the Committee and his Committee for what I consider to be a job very well done and an answer that is sufficiently satisfactory. Everybody can see clearly what corruption can do. It eats away the country and a society.

I want to thank the Chairman of the ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Order, Members! The Speaker gave a direction on how we will go about this. We are proceeding to Division on Orders No.8, 9, 10 and 11 in one Division, we shall vote and then I will announce the results after the vote on all the four orders. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: We are in the Division and when you start seeking the Floor, it defeats the purpose which is only to vote. Sen. Madzayo, barely 10 minutes ago the Speaker made a ruling on this issue and you were seated in the House. That was after a lot of canvassing. I understand the concerns that you have. The Speaker listened and I am sure he understood the concerns that the Senators, including Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Murkomen raised. I think it would be unfair for me to accede to your request because you are now asking me to review ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Hon. Senators, there seems to be a discrepancy on the first Vote. The numbers are not tallying up. Either you give us time to do reconciliation or we vote again. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: I think voting again will be the easier option. There is a problem because a Member who is not here appears to have voted. Maybe there is an electronic fault with our system. I am directing that we vote again. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: We can only know from the printout. We have four Votes to do. Could you please log out first and then log in again? view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Hon. Senators, there appears to be a problem with the electronic voting system. We shall now do it manually. We will call out the delegations. view
