• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Order, Sen. Hassan! Order, Sen. Bule! Do I need to remind you of the provisions of Standing Order No.105? You cannot stand in direct line between the contributor and the Speaker; or even stand in the passages of the Senate!

• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Time is up, Sen. G. G. Kariuki. 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
