• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., you are the one who has been making the loudest noise. I am saying that with a light touch because Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., is my friend. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the relevant Standing Order is No.182 on Criteria for Nomination. It is clear that:- “In nominating a Senator to serve in a Select Committee, the Senate Business Committee shall ensure that the membership of each Committee reflects the relative majorities of the seats held by each of the Parliamentary parties in the Senate.” Therefore, there is no Standing Order for bipartisan committees. It makes it more complicated because the National Assembly has already nominated five people. Since it is a Joint Committee, there must be equal numbers from both Houses. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minority Leader violated the same Standing Order he relied on to castigate the Motion by Sen. Kang’ata. At that point in time, you had ruled that you will not entertain this. The only way to remove what the Minority Leader said about a Leader of the Majority in the National Assembly, whether he named him in person or in general view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 29 (4), the Senate resolves to alter its Calendar in respect of the Fourth Part of the First Session, in order to proceed on a recess from Friday 10th November, 2017 to Monday 27th November, 2017. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with tremendous respect to all Senators, yourself and your authority - you know that I am a man who believes in respect for authority as the Bible says and also as you taught me - I would like to indicate, before I move this Bill, that I am entitled to speak for 60 minutes. However, considering the Senators’ utmost commitment and the business that is still ahead of us, I will restrain my comments to within ten minutes and request that, with your direction later, the rest of the Senators follow suit by limiting themselves to three ... view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the Motion that the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 9 of 2017) be now read a Second Time. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: It is a Motion; everything is called a Motion. It is the business on the Order paper. It is a Motion by reference, but it is a Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to make it clear because we went through this process yesterday and today. This Bill is important, but we are not doing anything substantive. We are actually doing correction of errors of what was already done in the 11th Parliament. We did all the work we did, but the manner in which the schedule was drafted did not conform to the requirements of the Constitution and ... view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank all the Senators for their contributions. However, just to inform Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Wako, that the Minister for Finance responded to that question that you raised as to whether it was necessary for him to do the amendment before. He made it clear in his statement that was read here two days ago, that he received the advice from the Attorney General, Hon. Githu Muigai. There was a bundle of caution on that advice to avoid situations where they will again find themselves in similar positions. The way forward should be that ... view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a few months down the line, we shall all be on the same table. I saw the Senators who were here before laughing because they know the history. There were Senators who came here “conjoined” with their governors only to realise that their oversight responsibility was going to separate them. The reason is because marginalization is real. It is in the Constitution and it is in the Allocation of Revenue formula. Therefore, I am not disputing the fact that there are areas that are called marginalized areas in this country which includes areas in my own ... view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee on the said report and ask Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr to second. view
