• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Sen. Orengo, you are a very senior lawyer and you know I have a lot of respect for you. But I think you are pre-empting the situation because two issues have arisen; whether it was an oversight on the part of the Clerk, or whatever else. That is what I got Sen. Mong’are to say. I promise that if you demand it, I can give a considered ruling or opinion on the issue. But, now, if you talk about Sen. Wetangula, who again is a very senior lawyer, and then talk about a vacancy of a seat which has not ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: I do not know, Sen. Orengo. As I sit here as your Deputy Speaker, I do not know, because I have no control over the Clerk calling the names. I have absolutely no idea. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: I did not say that. What I said and the HANSARD can bear me witness is that as I sit on this Chair now, I have not heard anybody talk about a vacancy in any seat.

• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: The only problem is that I am not going to make an apology for a transgression I have not made. I think you should accept that. But you have observed correctly; that the Clerk cannot be called upon to apologize because he is not a Member of this House. He cannot possibly make a statement for that reason. But having said that, I listened to all of you; I have heard what Sen. Janet Ong’era has to say and, maybe, that is the line I would like to pursue so that, at the end of it all, we have an ... view
