• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Leshore for the information. I know that. I also know that the vice-chair is also not here. She will be here in the course of this week. That is why I can only undertake to follow up that issue--- view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have given my undertaking that I will follow up this issue. If it is possible to give an answer by Thursday, it shall be given. If it is not possible, I shall communicate that information to the House. That is the best I can do. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from where I am standing, I understand what my fellow colleagues are asking. I have had occasion to talk about it when I was privileged to sit where you are sitting. I can only reiterate what I said earlier. I know what Sen. Mohamud and Sen. Lesuuda have said. I understand the urgency of issues like that of Baragoi; that such statements should be given immediately so that they do not lose relevance. I will reiterate what I said, that I will do a follow up and give an answer hopefully on Thursday, whether in the positive ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I honestly do not think this is a laughing matter, the way Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale seems to be taking it. view

But the point I am making is that I do not think it is proper to impute improper motives on committees because we do not know as yet why the statement has not been given. If the chair or the vice-chair were here, maybe, they would have given a proper answer on this issue. But, like I indicated at the beginning, I am an agent of necessity. It is not like what ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not accept that I am out of order for the simple reason that I do not think that it is humanly possible for me to make a Statement better than the one I have made from the Floor of this House. I am not going to tell Senators that I am going to give a Statement on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee on Thursday or any other day soon thereafter. That, I am not going to do because I have not had sight of that Statement and I cannot therefore say that I ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: Yes, I am indeed and I will continue to do that. I remember the Statement that was sought by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo and I will say the same thing that I have said. Again, I could give an indication this Thursday. It is now clear to the House that neither the chairman nor the vice-chairman is at the precincts of the Senate. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Sen. Kagwe, Sen. Obure is addressing the issue of policy. He is saying that there should be someone in charge of policy, never mind the issue of the caveat. How can that issue be addressed right now? view
• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Without seeming to interrupt you, can a diploma college issue a diploma certificate in teaching, and not mind that the threshold of C+ was not attained? view
