• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. It is important, for the record, to know that the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) organized a conference for all Senators and all Governors, and this conference is long overdue because we should have done it the first month we were elected. But because of other programmes and the commitments of the county governments, we were not able to do it. From tonight up to Sunday, we have a very important schedule whereby we are expected to discuss and deliberate on very weighty matters which, among others, ... view

• 24 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you remember, there was a request for deferment of a vote on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. I think we now have a quorum. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to your ruling, I thought it was agreed that hon. Senators who have been designated previously with a letter that allows for perpetual voting, like the case of Sen. Mbura and Sen. Hassan, this is allowed. Either way, for now, we have a quorum, whether or not they are here. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. Firs to all, I would like to congratulate my friend, Sen. Naisula Lesuuda for this very important Motion.

• 24 Jul 2013 in Senate: Even if the ruling was that we can vote concurrently on two different issues, then it must be made clear before the bell is rang so that hon. Senators understand that it is being rang for two votes. Actually, putting the Question and ending it then going to the next one without prior notice---- for me, in the reading of Standing Orders, I have a different opinion. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in Senate: S.O. No.74, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the same breath, as Sen. Lesuuda said, we have already set precedence. Every time we debate a Motion concerning counties we normally set a voting date. I will be hesitant to use that Standing Order because we had set a precedence that we debate this week and vote on a Tuesday or Wednesday next week so that there is sufficient notice. I will be hesitant to use that Standing Order because that will mean that we do it tomorrow. view
