• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Hassan and Sen. Boy Juma Boy. Your colleague is on the Floor and he has to be heard. If you want to consult, then do so in low tones. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Your time is up. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: There is no more interest shown on this Bill and the Mover is not here to reply, so we just reserve a date for its voting which will be again on Wednesday of next week. It is so ordered. view

• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With a lot of respect to Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., I think that he also needs to give credit to the Committee. We considered that affidavit but it is not talking about contentious issues. It is talking about matters of law. I can assure you that this Committee gave a lot of time to that affidavit by Mr. Gisebe. However, we did not consider that it was important to call him, because it was raising matter of law and not facts upon which you could call him for interrogation. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman of our Committee for allowing me the five minutes to make a contribution. I would like to persuade my colleagues on the other side to vote with us for the nominee. I am a Member of this Committee and wish to thank the Co-chairs for the way they steered this matter of the vetting. The decision that we made was unanimous and that is important. I have listened to the contributions of my colleagues in the Senate. I have heard Sen. Orengo and want to thank him for a very well ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I insist that Sen. Khalwale would have been very helpful to the Committee if he had brought that evidence before us, so that he could try to persuade us. As regards the qualification of this gentleman, whom I had never met in my life until the vetting, and so I am not holding brief for him--- It must be remembered that even as we talk about experience, which Sen. Musila talked about, the President had a right even to nominate a civilian without any knowledge about the police force, if that person was qualified under the law. ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we agree like we must and Prof. Some brought this out very clearly, the degree from Australia---- If you go to the internet, you will see that they do not require you to have a first degree. However, they admit you if you have certain qualifications. Boinett has a degree. He is qualified under the law. If you want to crucify him for any other reason, look for it but it will not be out of experience or education. He is qualified. I support because we need to have somebody. I was at the vetting board ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Chairman of the Committee for the answer. You note from the outset that the answer from the Minister ends by saying that the Ministry through the National Land Commission is going to review the allocation of the said parcels of land and if found that they had been reserved for water reservoirs which is a public utility, titles will be revoked. This is an extremely important issue because as you know, we are now dealing with issues of land “grabbed” in the 1990s. As Mr. Speaker knows very well, or like every ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether you are also going to overrule me on that issue. It is about a Statement because this one is finished. view
