• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: That is a very good point. However, the author is not here. By the way, Sen. Murkomen, you do not know what I am looking at? Do you? You are assuming that it is the same letter that was shown to your Committee. I have no way of knowing that it is the same letter. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: I agree with you 100 per cent, Sen. Wetangula, on the veracity of Article 35(1) of the Constitution. For the benefit of Members, it reads as follows:- “Every citizen has a right of access to:- (a) information held by state, (b) information held by another person and required for the exercise of protection of any right or fundamental freedom. That is true. You are very right. However, if you need that information from the State under the Constitution, you must seek it. If the State does not make that information available to you, then you have a right to recourse. ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: That is the case of the Republic vs. Kaniu in 1952. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Murungi. I have already ruled on that issue. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Murungi did not challenge you. You know the case of Regino versus Kuruma son of Kaniu is clear. The point I am making is this; I have done a ruling on that issue. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I will allow you another two minutes to seek your clarification. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Wetangula! We cannot do that. All these Senators are not lawyers. We need to proceed and deal with issues in front of us. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale! I did not rule you out of order. It is your documents that I ruled out of order. I said that they will not form part of these proceedings. If you want to contest that ruling, you may have to reserve it for another day. Right now, you are on a point of order seeking a clarification. I said that the two letters are not admissible now. However, if you bring them before the committee in the condition that I have advised you for them to be, I believe that they will be admitted. I have ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: I listened to you. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I do want to appear to be arguing or altercating with you. It appears that you did not listen to me. When Sen. Murkomen was giving you information, he said that the same letter – I hope he was talking about the same letter – was produced before the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and was authenticated. If you get that letter from the Committee on Legal Affair and Human Rights, since there is a record, and it is authenticated, certified for you by the clerk of that Committee, I cannot reject it. The point ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I have made a ruling and I will not change it. You are telling me about issues which I was not party to; I was not in your Committee. I have given you a considered opinion on why I do not allow the letter to be part of our records now. At the risk of repeating myself, the answer we are getting, on which you are seeking a clarification, is not a complete statement. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Hassan! 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
