• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order, Senators! Order! Order! We are debating and noting the Presidential Speech and we are doing very well. It is my responsibility to keep this House in order and, therefore, I had already ruled all that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale had accused people who cannot defend themselves here out of order and that suffices. He is totally out of order. Let us proceed. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: I will give a chance to Sen. Orengo on something else, not related to what I have ruled. Sen. Orengo is talking about procedure. But before Sen. Orengo speaks, I had already made a determination, which I did not communicate and I am sorry about that. I had ruled that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale still had the Floor in the additional time I gave him when the point of order was requested. Therefore, the issue raised by the Senate Minority Leader does not arise. Proceed, Sen. Orengo. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order! Sen. Orengo, yes, the Speaker was aware of Standing Order No.94, but it was not found necessary that the Senator should substantiate later. But also in your submission, whereas I agree that the spouse is supposed to co-own property, transfer of property requires consent of the spouse. But when it comes to criminal law, everyone carries their own cross. You cannot lump together accusations of a spouse with the other spouse. So, you are right to the extent of ownership. But the question which was being debated here is that accusations can lead to commission of a crime; a ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Proceed. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Sen. Wetangula, you have said that is a point of procedure. The same struggles you say you had with the Chair is actually the same struggles that the Chairs have with you and a number of Members in the House. When people are not willing to follow the rules, they shout at each other, disrespect others, they do not listen to the Chair and even before the Chair makes a ruling, they are shouting. We have a responsibility to keep a level of sanity in the House so that we can progress. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was doing very well, except ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg that the Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 31 of 2014) be read a Second Time. Before I move this Bill, I apologise. My voice is a bit distorted as a result of flu. Nevertheless, I will try as much as possible to deliver the substance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in 1999, Kenya adopted a new environmental law known as the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act (EMCA), No.3 of 1999. This law is one of the most revolutionary and modern pieces of legislation in the environmental field, incorporating many ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, what is your point of order? The Member is no longer on the Floor. Let us just proceed. What is out of order? view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you are out of order. That is not a point of order. There is a better Senator in this House who has closer access to the former Head of State than me. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. This is a very important Bill because life cannot go on without the environment and proper protection of our natural resources. It is just yesterday that we voted on the Natural Resources Benefit Sharing Bill. We cannot share anything which does not exist. Therefore, this Bill plays a major role in ensuring that protection of resources is achieved in the first instance before we talk about sharing the resources. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Bill because if you read Schedule Four of the Constitution, you will ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.54 (3), given the numbers that we have at the moment, I request that the Speaker defers the putting of the question to a time and date to be designated by the Speaker. I request that you consider my request. view
