• 7 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that the Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, being an experienced Parliamentarian, knows that there can be no games played without the approval of the House. So, if any changes were to happen, because we are doing it via a Motion, there is nothing that can be done until this House sits here to pass the Motion. So, it is not an administrative action that can be done outside the procedures of Parliament. Secondly, is to confirm to the House that we consulted under the constitutional requirements and concurrently, the changes were made here as they are ... view

• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the Senate Minority Leader had waited, that is where I was going. I have consulted all these Senators and they have requested that we hold these statements until such time that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. will be available in the House, hopefully next week. Sen. Kwamboka is out on official assignment in Dar es Salaam and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is away with the permission of the Speaker on another responsibility. For Sen. Cherargei, I still wanted to consult his constituents on this Statement because we had shared with him but there are some things that ... view

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to spend a lot of time debating this matter except to give reasons. We should have proceeded on recess as from tomorrow but we have ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate Business Committee approved this Motion, but the Senate Minority Leader was unable to attend the meeting. I did not want to ambush him and we do want to spend time on this more or less obvious agenda. That is why the Senate Deputy Majority Leader, who had already been notified in good time and was in the meeting, was going to second as a matter of practice because she was there. However, even then, she was not going to talk. She just wanted to nod or say, “I second,” so that we proceed to more ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, anyone who has been here for some time - at least for me who served in the last Parliament – knows that the word “courtesy” and Sen. Wetangula cannot be used in the same sentence. This is The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have seen me quietly sit down and listen to a lot of insults from the Senate Minority Leader. I told you that for all of us who worked with him here for the last five years, courtesy and Sen. Wetangula cannot be used in the same sentence. Decency and Sen. Wetangula cannot be used either in the same sentence. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have quietly sat down and listened to a lot of insults from the Senate Minority Leader. As I said, those of us who worked with him here for the last five years know that that courtesy and Sen. Wetangula cannot be used in the same sentence. Decency and Sen. Wetangula cannot be used in the same sentence. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to go on record that I have accepted to play quiet and humble because he always reminds me that I am the age of his son. I have always told Sen. Wetangula that every father must be proud of the progress of his son. The fact that I am serving a second term here with my father is something to be proud of and not to be called infantile. It is something to be celebrated. He should be celebrating me every day. As the Mover of this Motion, I sympathise with Sen. Wetangula’s position. ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join you and my colleagues in eulogizing Hon. Francis Nyenze, the Member of Parliament for Kitui West Constituency, who until today has been serving his people with distinction. The Bible says that God should teach us the number of our days for us to use them well. Inevitably, every one of us is a sojourner. Hon. Nyenze’s day has come to an end. No one lives this world carrying the earthly belongings. We all leave this world carrying the deeds we left behind; the manner in which we touched lives and the difference ... view
