• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: That is fine. I direct the Clerks-at- the-Table to ensure that the timing is done properly so that we do not lose any time at all. Sen. Wetangula, you have five minutes. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order Members! Debate on the Motion is over and I should be putting the Question. I am satisfied that this is a Motion that affects counties and, therefore, we are going to vote by Delegations. Before I put the Question, I would like to know whether we have a threshold or how we are going to go about it. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: I have already made a ruling on that. Are you testing my ruling or what would you like me to do? view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order Sen. Hassan. This is a House in which order must prevail. I do not think that it is right for you to be shouting across the divide at Sen. (Dr.) Kuti. Sen. (Dr.) Kuti, you were listening when I said that this concerns counties. You saw me stand up, make that ruling and sit down. Are you testing that ruling? view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: You do not seek guidance once I have made a ruling. I have said that it concerns counties. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Wetangula. I heard what Sen. Orengo had to say but you are saying that it is not the sole prerogative of the Speaker to rule on this issue. I want to know whether you are making a general statement or you are talking about the specific situation in which we are in now, in which case I have already made a ruling. Is it for the future or for this specific one? view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: I have heard you and I have also heard what Sen. Orengo said. The question I am asking is, and I want to be clear, I have made a ruling on this issue already and I have said it concerns counties. You started by saying you agree with me and so is Sen. Orengo. Are you saying that I made a mistake or are you talking about now or the future? view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: I have seen the direction you are taking but if you want me to make a reasoned ruling on this issue, this is not the time to make that application and you are not contesting. If it is an issue for the future that you would like the House to get seized of so that in future when we are talking about what affects or does not affect counties, the Members are involved in the making of that decision, then this is not the correct forum. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: I did not; you rose on a point of order. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Yes, but I must understand. view
