• 4 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we had a debate a little bit earlier with my colleagues and it was for the benefit of everybody that a decision comes from the Chair. I do not think that there is any provision in the law that would have allowed me to communicate that without raising it from a point of order. So, I did this for the benefit of everybody. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the question of IDPs raised by Sen. Munyes, we are requesting that the Statement be made available on the first sitting of the next session. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will convey that request to the Chair of Committee on Devolution and make an undertaking that some of those things will be attended to even during recess. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Under which Standing Order? The Mover had replied. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we were to open debate on the same Motion, we will be setting a very bad precedent where Members who for whatever reasons have failed to attend the House will be coming up with their own requests of opening debate. I think we have concluded and the Mover had even requested that we go 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
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Orengo to insinuate that the Mover of this Motion moved it targeting Tharaka-Nithi or a particular region when we know that Tana River County is down there? Secondly, it is important for Sen. Orengo to understand the philosophy that informed the choice of the three counties. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think when you exercise that discretion under Standing Order No.52, that should be done with substantial reason. I am saying this with all due respect. I do not come from Tharaka-Nithi or any of those counties. Yesterday, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo tried to move an amendment which tried to include other counties including my county. However, it is important that that decision be made. Sen. Orengo – I was in the House all through – kept on leaving the House and coming back – he should have contributed to this Motion. I believe that you have made ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it possible, using your discretionary powers, that you put the two questions, one for the amendment and the other for the main Motion, so that when we go to Division, we can vote for both of them respectively? view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I salute Sen. Omar Hassan on this important issue. Sen. Orengo has even put it in a clearly concise manner. It is upon you to inform the House whether the two of you; the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate, can sit together to make a decision on whether a Bill concerns counties and supposing you do not sit, what is the validity of a law that goes to the President for signature? Kenyans are watching and those who are not happy with legislation can move to any court and one of ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think that I am a little bit lost and need to be informed. There seems to have been a general consensus, including when Sen. Orengo was speaking here, that we need to leave the issue of the Standing Orders as an agenda until next year. So, if the extension of time is in regard to the remaining business in the Order Paper, then we have no problem.
