• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Just a minute before you do that. I have not allowed you to move the amendment on the amendment. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Hon. Senators, we have to finish with the business before us first and the amendment that has been proposed and seconded, so I am going to propose the question. Anything else can only come after we have dealt with this. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Hon. Senators, since there is nobody interested in debating the amendment, I will now put the question. We have to make a ruling under Standing Order No.69 on whether this affects counties or not. Standing Order No.69 requires that we must state whether it affects counties or not. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Order, Senators! It is not upon you to tell whether it affects counties. That is the prerequisite of the Speaker. So, wait for me to make a ruling. Standing Order No.69 requires that we must make a ruling. In my considered opinion, the Motion as amended is a national issue and not an issue that has to do with counties. We are asking the national government to take certain measures specifically so that we are able to enforce the Motion as originally drawn and also as amended. So, I rule that this is not a Motion affecting counties as contemplated ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Hon. Members, it is now midday and it is time to call upon the Mover to reply. 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
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Sen. Muthama. As I had ruled before I put the question, when we were dealing with the issue of the amendment as required by Standing Order No.69, it is my considered opinion that this Motion does not affect counties. Therefore, we will proceed to vote as provided for under Standing Order No.70 (1) and (2). Having made that ruling, I will put the Question. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree, fully with Sen. James Orengo, that the HANSARD will finally read the name of the person who voted. However, for the sake of record - we need to understand that this is a legal position – I agree with Sen. James Orengo that the HANSARD should read the person who voted. The position here is that once Siaya County is called, for instance, and the Senator, under Article 98(1) is not present, then if he has designated somebody to vote on their behalf, that person should rise in their position and indicate that they have ... view

• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Order, hon. Senators, it is now time for interruption of business. The Senate, therefore, stands adjourned until 2.30 pm this afternoon. The Senate rose at 12.20 p.m. 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
• 25 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just curious; I want to know what the Senator is talking about. He is saying that the Kikuyus should be told that land belongs to all of us. Is that generic or he is specifically talking about the Kikuyus? If you want to inform the people that this country belongs to all of us, then you must inform all the 40 million Kenyans. But you cannot in fairness – this is going on HANSARD – tell the Kikuyus as if they do not know. We know that this country belongs ... view
