• 7 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought that we were discussing order. Is it in order for Sen. Orengo to try to imagine that the President should have sacked the people whom he found in office serving together with Sen. Orengo in the Cabinet, for purposes of just showing that he has a national face, yet what we know from all those appointments that the President has made since he took over office has reflected the national face? view
• 7 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When did my friend, Sen. James Orengo, start speaking on behalf of URP? Secondly, where is it indicated in the face, body, skin and colour of any Kenyan appointed to office, that he looks URP, TNA, UDF or ODM? I thought that we are all Kenyans. Where did Sen. Orengo get this argument that when you look at someone, he or she looks like URP? view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to support this very important Motion that will ensure that the business of the House is running; and that our former Members, who dearly served this House, are replaced accordingly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think going forward – because I have no doubt in terms of legislative, representation, competence of the Members who have been pointed out here – but I think there is the more important question in terms of even our Standing Orders as to who nominates who to a Committee. I will blame Sen. Kajwang if I am wrong; I ... view

• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the last about eight months since I came to this House, one of my best friends whose debate I admire most is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. So, the issue I raised here – and that is why I support the Motion – was for posterity. I questioned, for example, what you do in a situation where we have 10 independent candidates, if parties are going to be the ones to nominate Members to committees. We are in a situation where we are amending our Standing Orders; we should, therefore, provide for that mechanism. What happens in a ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know constitutional lawyers here, and anyone who would like to pursue this matter further, the Constitution says that if an independent candidate joins a political party or is seen to support policies of a political party, he will lose his or her seat. So, going forward, memberships of Committees perhaps may not just be supporting a political party, but perhaps even that Committee they join together to push policies of a political party. It will be a very dangerous line with the possibility of that Member losing his seat. I think these are things we have ... view

• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Chair for attempting to answer the question. However, I would like to ask for clarification from the Committee of this House as to the meaning of Article 67(2)(c). Has the Committee considered the meaning of this article which provides that the National Land Commission shall advise the National Government on a comprehensive programme for the registration of title in land throughout Kenya? I am asking this because debate has been going on round the country on whether it is the Cabinet Secretary or the National Land Commission who does ... view
