• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.33 to give notice of an Adjournment Motion for us to discuss a matter which is of national importance. The notice of my Motion is on the historic visit of the President of the United States of America (USA) to Kenya. I want us to thank him, particularly, on his speech that he gave at the Kasarani Safaricom Stadium and have an exposition of the policy issues that are contained in it. I seek the indulgence of this House to allocate this Motion at least an hour towards the end of the ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to make assertions that are completely untrue when he knows very well that I sat on that Chair? I was the Temporary Speaker and sat through the whole Motion until it was completed. Is it in order for him to make such wanton allegations when I even gave him a chance to speak when I was presiding? view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. 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
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has raised has also troubled my mind. We said the reason why voting has been delayed was to facilitate consultation. However, I have one problem which is legal. The Standing Orders, the Constitution and all the other supporting laws do not give us an alternative legal framework that allows a Bill to be withdrawn before voting. It is in the Second Reading; I thought the most sensible thing for the Mover and the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, for Sen. Madzayo, was to allow the vote to be done, it goes ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard Sen. Abdirahman and I wish that he could hear me as well without being distracted by the “bullfighter” of Kakamega, Sen. ( Dr.) Khalwale. The House is faced by a new challenge which is a situation where people are saying that we need to withdraw a Bill which is now at the voting stage and we do not have the instruments of law. However, my most important concern is the fact that as a House, we have been assisting each other to ensure that no Bill is lost. If this Bill is lost today ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Not yet, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, based on the guidance that you have just given, could I also seek your guidance? I am aware that a Bill that has been moved must be seconded and, at least the question put or proposed before adjournment. So, does that guide my timing as well? view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to thank the Senate Majority Leader for moving this Bill and also the initial Mover of this Bill in the National Assembly hon.(Dr.) Otichilo. This is a subject of our time. President Obama when speaking to us in Kasarani Safaricom Arena said something that is very important to us. He said we have borrowed this country and the world from the future generations, from our children and the children of our children. There is a very important principle in environmental law that is called sustainable development. It is a principle ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to move the Motion that the House do now adjourn to discuss a matter of national importance, the speech of the President of the United States of America (USA), Mr. Barack Obama and all the agreements that were achieved as a result of his trip. I stand here this evening to recognize the fact that we are very lucky as a nation, after more than 50 years of Independence, to be favoured to host a President of the USA. This is a very unique occurrence because it may not happen again in ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we must have an opportunity for a Sengwer like myself to be president. We must also have opportunity for a Kamba to be president, not because he is a Kamba, but because that person has the ideals to lead and--- - view
