• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: My immediate thinking is that this should be committed to the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. Now, as the case may be, the Committee may find that it needs some input from the Committee on Devolved Governments or even from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s Committee, if need be. However, there must be only one Committee seized of an issue at one time. If there are cross-cutting issues, I am confident that the Committees will deal with the matter as necessary. I am committing it, therefore, to the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Order! You are anticipating trouble. I will not allow that. You are preempting a situation. Let us cross that bridge when we get to it. We will not allow the work of the Senate or that of the Committees to be paralysed by anybody. We have a job to do under the Constitution. So, I would rather not preempt the situation. I will commit this matter to the relevant committee. In this case, it is the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. Let them come and tell us that the work has been hampered by an arm of this Government ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: So, can we say the first Thursday after we resume from recess? Am I correct? Sen. Wamatangi, I think that is the best that can be done in the circumstances. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Let us agree on one thing. I have directed on how that matter will be dealt with. Sen. Wamatangi is satisfied that the first Thursday after we resume is okay with him. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: I will not talk about demonstrations. It is not in my place. That closes the issue. The Statement will be issued on the first Thursday after recess. I will not accept any more points of order. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: I want to assume that that is a matter of semantics, because he did correct and the HANSARD will bear me out that he said that there are demonstrations in his county. That brings an end to that Statement. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Murkomen! That is the trouble when a Senator comes to the House at their own time and ignores that things were happening before they came in and then they assume the role of running the House. I am very well and completely seized with the issue of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Then you were not listening; that is the point I am making. You were busy doing other things. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you had sought a Statement yesterday. I can see the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights is here. That one is exceptional because I am the one who directed that that matter be dealt with today and so shall we hear Sen. Sang? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Do you have something else you want to table? view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: I started by saying that the issues you have raised are very important and very grave. Yesterday, I requested you to allow for an answer to be given when we come from recess so that you can get a comprehensive answer, but you convinced me that this matter was so grave that you wanted an answer even if it is just a holding answer. I have two letters here, both of them photocopies; one purportedly written by Irene Keino and Prof. Jane Onsongo, addressed to His Excellency the President. It is dated 9th September, 2014. I have another letter marked ... view
