• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my reading of the Standing Orders, there is a difference between when you are presenting the Petition and when you speak to it. 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
• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we say petitions will be presented for five minutes only, then we are placing limitations on them. This means that when a petition is brought to the House, one of the requirements of the petitioner is to ensure that it can be read for five minutes only. Unless we change the rules to state that a petition being presented to the House need not be read. However, if the Speaker has already given permission for a long petition to be presented in the House, then there is no way a Member can confine himself to five ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have ruled twice now. I suppose the Senator for Kakamega was not listening to you initially. However, could you rule further – if it is within your powers – that the new Rules and Business Committee (RBC) of the Senate that we passed last week, relooks at all these Standing Orders that may contradict each other? They can then come back within a particular period of time, maybe in a month’s time, so that this House can revise. The contradiction is very glaring. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you remember, just two weeks ago when I raised the issue of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and whether it was an arm of Government, Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale questioned whether I was a lawyer. I now want to ask: Did Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale go to school, now that he is contradicting himself in a span of two weeks, having declared the other week that we are all in the Government because we are an arm of Government? view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe Tuesday next week. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have to consult the Chairperson of the Committee in order to know the possibility of getting the answer. However, I do not see the urgency to the extent that it can be for only one week. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be very happy if Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo can also assist me to get his party Chairman who is the Chairperson of the Committee so that we make sure that it happens tomorrow. However, I will do my best. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, while I agree with the English version of what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale talked about regarding the poor, Sen. Cheruiyot is a French speaker and he was also floating. I am not sure whether that is French or Sen. (Dr) Khalwale’s mother tongue. Is the Senator in order to declare a police officer to be a murderer while in law, the words murder and a murderer are a legal term where there is intercourse between mens rea and actus rea having been proved in a court of law? I am sure you came across that in your first ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker Sir. Is Sen. (Dr) Khalwale in order to assume that an officer called Serem can only come from Elgeyo-Marakwet and not Kisumu or Homa Bay? Is he in order to confuse killing with murdering? Those are two different words. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate the team from Kakamega and Nandi counties for taking this opportunity to learn from the Senate. I thank your office for always providing exchange, internship and training for the county assembly staffers. On behalf of the Senator for Nandi, Sen. Sang, who is out of the country on official duty, I welcome the team from Nandi. When you go back, assist your counties to continue providing services and promoting unity between Nandi, Kisumu and Kakamega counties. This will ensure that we see more growth through devolution and partnership between and among counties. ... view
