• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order! You time is up! view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: It would serve all of us well if we were to debate the Bill. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, even the Chair here is happy to be educated on the Bill clause by clause and be informed. However, you spent a lot of time on generalities. This should be a notice to other Members. Hon. Senators, I have a Communication to make. view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: Hon. Senators, as you may be aware, Article 132(1)(b) of the Constitution and the Standing Order 22(1) of the Senate Standing Orders require the President to address a special sitting of Parliament once every year and at any other time. Via a letter Reference No.OP/CAB.1/40 dated 16th March, 2015, addressed to the Clerks of Parliament, the Office of the President requested Parliament to set a date for the Presidential address to Parliament. Upon the Speaker consulting the Speaker of the National Assembly, it was resolved that His Excellency the President addresses Parliament on Thursday, 26th March, 2015. Hon. Senators, this ... view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Khalwale! A point of order is not supposed to be a debate. Parliament will make every effort to ensure that the Standing Orders are observed. I do not think that the Speakers of the two Houses would accept a situation where press- ups, pulling of trousers or fighting will be done in Parliament because that is completely against our Standing Orders. view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. Sang! I have already made a ruling that press-ups will not be condoned. There will be no provocation. In any case, the Standing Orders are very clear; that the President shall be heard in silence for all the period of his address. The hon. Senators, except for a few occasions reported by the Press which have not been substantiated, have behaved well over time. Sen. Lonyangapuo. view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. This is a very important Bill on values and principles of public service and public officers. The Constitution, in Article 232, lists what is referred to as Values and Principles of Public Service. These values and principles need to be given a breath of life and as Sen. M. Kajwang called it, “wings to fly” so that they can be operational. However, if you read the Bill, as it is, you will find that this is just a replication of statements that have no procedures of implementation that ... view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No.54 (iii), I request that you defer putting the Question on this Bill to tomorrow Wednesday 25th March, 2015. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to issue the Statement under Standing Order No. 45 concerning the Business of next week, starting 24th March, 2015. Hon. Senators, as you are aware, according to our Calendar, we have two more weeks. This Statement relates to the Business of next week. On Tuesday 24th March, 2015, we shall have the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) meeting as usual at 12.00 noon to schedule the Business of the week. Subject to the directions by the RBC, next week, on Tuesday, the Senate will consider the Alcoholic Drinks Control (Amendment) Bill (Sen. ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to suggest that the Chair prepares a notice of Motion and a Motion, with your permission, so that we debate the Report substantially at a date to be designated by yourself? This will give us time to debate on the Report apart from the answer we will receive directly. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Section 228(5) of the Constitution says:- “The Controller shall not approve any withdrawal from a public fund unless satisfied that the withdrawal is authorized by law.” The reason I read that section is because I know very well that CRA had a right to do circulars and pamphlets as we discussed the other day and that is within their own right. However, when did we as a country convert the Appropriations Act of county assemblies to be less in legal hierarchy yet being law, to be under or below the circulars of CRA, than the law? Because ... view
