• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: . On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Orengo in order to mislead this House, and particularly the country, that the Senate has a role in delimitation of electoral units? The Constitution is succinct and clear in Article 89 that it is only the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) that has a responsibility of dealing with boundaries.

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I sympathize with my mentor and Senior Counsel. It looks like he was speaking through his mouth, but he was not listening to himself. He had said that the Senate is being excluded on matters of delimitation of electoral units. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: It is my turn. I must be heard. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not refuse the argument by Sen. Orengo that the Bill from the National Assembly says that on delimitation of boundaries the National Assembly should approve. However, the Constitution is clear that neither the National Assembly nor the Senate has a role in approval of electoral units.

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a pity that my colleague has mis- educated the public. Either by qualification or otherwise, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is not qualified to educate me. He has confirmed that from his submissions. Let us get it right. Neither the Senate nor the National Assembly has a responsibility on delimitation of boundaries. The County Governments Act, which I helped draft, makes it very clear that the Senate can play a role to say that we need 1450 wards like we proposed then and passed by Parliament. However, we have no role to go and say that ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we were not talking about litigation. I am sure my colleague may have been reported in a case that he either did at the High Court or in some magistrate’s court. It is possible. view

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been cited in referred journals, including books that speak about the role of the Senate in this Republic. I have taught in university where my colleagues took--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is a trend that is developing. It was started by Sen. Orengo who is not in his seat at the moment and the Senate Minority Leader, where one makes contributions on the Floor of the House and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We are talking about a presidential candidate, who is the Senator for Bungoma. Most important, is the caution you gave in terms of speaking about Senators and colleagues in a negative manner. The impression the Senate Minority Leader, who is a Leader in this House, is giving out there is that there are some Senators who have itchy fingers and want to vote and are yawning. That alone is derogatory to the institution of the Senate. No Senator here is less than the other in any way. view
