• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Senator. What we want to do is what our Standing Orders say regarding Bills that have to do with counties.

• 23 May 2013 in Senate: What is your point of order, Sen. Billow? view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: We shall come to it. I want to refer you to Standing Order No.134 on the sequence of going through the Bill at the Committee Stage. We will come to that one at the end when we are dealing with the title, Clause 1 and then Clause 2. view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Hon. Senators, let me make a proposal before we deal with what Sen. Billow has said. When you look at your Order Paper, you will find that we have four proposed amendments and we do not know whether there will be amendments on amendments.

This is a test because this is the first time that we are in the Committee of the Whole. I want you to listen to me carefully because it will be for your ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Do we have any other views on this? Once we adopt this, that is how we will be proceeding in the Committee of the Whole when considering Bills. view

What of a Bill which has 100 sections with 20 to 50 proposed amendments? It would take us more than a week to finish a Bill. We have only today to finish with this Bill and return ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: That is clear in the law. So, Sen. Billow has moved his amendment to Clause 3. If there is no debate, then we proceed to the next? view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Now, this qualifies my earlier communication. If you look at the Order Paper, you will see that, that takes us to the Schedule. So, I will now put the Question so that we can go on Division. The reason for putting the Question is for expediency. There is an amendment to the amendment proposed in the Schedule.

• 23 May 2013 in Senate: For purposes of the HANSARD, hon. Sen. Kajwang has voted for Clause 3. view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: I want to reiterate this, as the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, that this thing about delegated power is important. I could take it that you have the power, but you have nothing to show for it. I think I should make that clear. I have said this before.

I must say that I have not seen it myself. view
