• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: There is nothing like “for our own purpose” because we do not act in futility. The persuasion I am almost receiving from the other side is that everybody – and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale put it very clearly that: “We may not be voted back if people do not hear us talking about the Security Bill at the Senate. Our people are watching and they will mark us based on the debate of a certain Bill.” The feeling I am getting from the other side is that: “Let us also have a forum so that we are seen to be relevant ... view
• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he has just repeated what I said; that we debate everything and anything. That is not the position. This House cannot debate a President of another country--- view
• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: I am even satisfied with what he has repeated, that--- view
• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why we do not even discuss the conduct of another Senator without a proper Motion. We also do not just discuss the President of another country. There are certain limitations to freedom of debate in this House. Those limitations are found in our Standing Orders. We cannot be told we are debating anything and everything at anytime, including the sub judice rule. My other point is to say that we are being asked here to do an interpretation of the Constitution. I have always said here in this House, that all of us, including ... view
• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am reading the ruling of Speaker Marende of Thursday, 3rd September, 2009. His ruling was on the Report of the Task Force on the Conservation of Mau Forest. I am going to table the same ruling. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you served in the Speaker’s Panel, so this could jog your memory; that there was a decision on the question of the Report of the Task Force on the Conservation of Mau Forest which was on Thursday, 3rd September, 2009. view
• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, for avoidance of doubt, I said that the rulings of Marende have been brought here selectively. If I said quoted selectively, I withdraw and apologise. For that purpose, let me go on record to say that the ruling of Marende, the same Speaker, on Thursday, 3rd September, 2009, on the Report on the Task Force of Conservation of Mau Forest, I will table it now and give it to the Clerk. However, before I do that, let me read it again for the record. It says in the third last paragraph that:- “The documents presented to the ... view
• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: Article 110(3) and(4), if there was evidence that again this is another Bill where the two Speakers never sat down - many people have referred here that Senate was by-passed. How? The Constitution does not mention the whole Senate. What the Constitution mentions in Article 110 (3) and (4) is the two Speakers of the National Assembly and the Senate. What it says is that, if a question comes to them about the validity of the question of legality of whether it is a matter concerning counties, the two Speakers will sit down, they can sit under a tree, concur ... view
• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
