• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: takes the disease around the country. Whereas the Government must do something, from the initial information that is available, it will require a lot to be done by individual citizens in terms of personal protection, commitment, and protecting your neighbour and the country. We have decided as a House, through this Motion, to break for 30 days. In these 30 days, what are we going be doing? We will continue with the work that we have as Committees, even if we will not meet physically. Research will continue on the reports that we are supposed to deal with. Our staff ... view

• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: messages, to approve the 15 Members we require for you to gazette, and we will come back. We do not need to be stringent that we must see each other face to face to sign for our coming. We can use technology to proceed with the convening of this House. Once we come here, we will make the necessary decision for us to take our country forward. We must also keep in mind that we cannot sleep on this matter because we are not coming back after a month so that we break. We must put measures in place that ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Sorry, I request the Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Sen. Cleophas Malala, to second. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I did not know at what stage I should do this. So I waited for Sen. Ochillo- Ayacko to complete. As the Mover of this Motion, I wish Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko had consulted me before coming with an amendment. Had he done so, I would have told him that this is not just a decision of the Senate Business Committee (SBC). The decision to adjourn was a decision of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and it was recommended to both Houses. The decision by the PSC is not binding on us. We are ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to know whether it was in order for Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko to move the Motion without consulting me. Had he consulted me, I would have done two, three or four things. I stood on a point of order. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose that amendment. It is not because we just want to be here. First of all, the amendment is not properly drafted because it presupposes that when we come back, we will be meeting once a week sine die . It is not possible for us to be meeting once in a week for the rest of this session or our term. If the intention was to meet once in a week, he should tell us for how many weeks that we will come back. Secondly, it must also specify which day of the ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have consulted with Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko and Sen. Outa. That is how we ended up having Sen. Outa to come up with that amendment which is more definite. It has the days which is Tuesday for only two weeks. So, we are going two weeks full, and once a day for another two weeks until 14th, April, 2020. When we come back on 14th of April, 2020, we will now make another Calendar which will be more definite. Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of that, I would like to request the House that we then complete to avoid ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: seems to be a consensus, we dispose of the further amendment and the amendment, then people can contribute to the main Motion as amended then we progress. Otherwise, if people go round the further amendment, we go to the amendment and then we go to the Motion, we will spend the whole afternoon here. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, this is very sad day for us, as Members of Parliament. Yesterday, we lost our colleague, hon. Suleiman Dori. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I knew him in person from the last term as a man who meant his word; a very jovial legislator and friendly to everybody. As you know very well, he was elected on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) ticket, and I was elected in Jubilee. However, we had a very good working relationship with him. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
