• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: 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
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senate Minority Leader to misuse his opportunity to ask for clarification or supplementary question to defend a person facing investigation and introduce alternative facts? If Sen. Wetangula who is an accomplished advocate wanted to defend the governor of Kitui County, the right forum is to go and defend her before the NCIC and, eventually, the court. We will be misusing the Floor of the House if we were to do a trial by looking at the grounds for which the governor is being investigated. That is ... view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If the Senate Minority Leader speaks for Gov. Charity Ngilu, he should first declare his interest. He cannot on one hand pursue vigorously such a production of some musicians that we do not even know by name. I agree with Sen. Wambua that we must first get their identities. The Senate Minority Leader is trying to pursue them vigorously and using the same platform to defend another citizen of this Republic, who is being investigated with regard to an issue of burning of a vehicle. This idea of trying to speak from ... view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senate Minority Leader, whom we expect since 1992 to have at least understood something about the Standing Orders, to assume the position of the Speaker and determine what becomes a valid point of order or not? view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Bearing in mind what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has raised and considering the significance of the continuous broadcast of that song, is it not possible, from where you sit and the powers of the Speaker, for you to order the necessary agencies, in the interim as the Committee tries to understand who they are and what action is being taken by NCIC, to take remedial measures? That includes bringing down the music video from YouTube or whichever other place, because I do not know where it is, so that we can also ... view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to acknowledge that I am the Senate Majority Leader. It is a fact that I am twice younger than Sen. Orengo. It is also a fact that in the legal profession; Sen. Orengo is at the apex; he is a Senior Counsel. However, he needs to be reminded that those who hold very high offices like himself, as a Senior Counsel, do not need to remind us, his juniors, that we are junior. We know it. We are only praying that one day, with age and time, we will reach there. On the question ... view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just seeking clarification from the Chair because I cannot challenge the orders of the Chair. Was there any doubt that I am the Senate Majority Leader? view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek the clarity of the matter. You have been in this situation. Is it right for a chairperson, like the Chairperson has talked, to be the one going to see a PS, CS and so on? It is indeed the responsibility of the CS. Once he gets communication from the Clerk’s Office through a letter which acts as an order of some sort, it is his or her duty to act. Even if it is not an order or summons, it is a duty on the part of the CS to act ... view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have heard Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve saying that the representation of the PWDs--- view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has to go on record. view
