• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

• 12 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senate Minority Leader is making very useful contribution. However, is it in order for him to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 12 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senate Minority Leader is using very many words, some of which are very flowery. But he has not discharged his obligation under the Standing Orders, to substantiate. Even the withdrawal is conditional. He is talking about funds dubiously obtained. Could he also substantiate that the Kshs5 million and Kshs2 million were obtained through dubious means, because that also imputes improper motives and casts aspersions on the names of two great leaders of this country; the President and the Deputy President? Could the Senate Minority Leader, again, substantiate or unconditionally and ... view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you most sincerely for giving me this opportunity to make some comments on this important Bill. I find myself almost in complete agreement with my brother, the Senate Minority Leader, except his opening remarks, touching on harambees. Otherwise, whatever else he said, we are largely together. The Senate has been unfairly accused of sitting on this Bill which most of us are seeing for the first time today. When we were on recess, our colleagues in the “Lower” House addressed the media and said that the Senate had refused to pass this ... view

• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, instead of asking a Senator to investigate and bring information, we can request the Auditor-General to do a forensic audit of a project where we have heard those rumours, and bring us a report which we can now use in our debates. Article 37 says: “The Auditor-General may examine the public procurement and asset disposal process of a state organ or a public entity with a view to confirm as to whether procurements were done lawfully and in an effective way.” Again, we do not have to wait until the process is completed. The electronic version ... view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have a very important contribution to make. Could you give me one minute? view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This matter is of special interest to me because one of my constituents, the Principal Secretary (PS) Mutea Iringo, as you know, was asked to step aside because of the role he played in the national security business when he was in the Office of the President. You have heard about audit queries of Kshs2.8 billion. However, officers are put under very difficult circumstances because some of the expenditures that they incur are supposed to be secrets for purposes of undercover activities of the Government. They cannot come to Parliament and explain exactly what ... view
• 6 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Petition. Indeed, it goes to the root of the economy of this country. We sympathise with the petitioner and the Kipsigis Community which he comes from. This raises a fundamental issue of what is now generally called “historical injustices”. 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
• 6 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, then I am right in seeking this clarification because in my own view, the proceedings before a committees are governed by the same rules of procedure as the proceedings before the House. When I sit as the Chairman of the committee, I sit as an equivalent of the Speaker in the Committee. I assume it is for the Chairman of the Committee to look at the issues brought before the Committee and deal with this issue of sub judice. If we verify and get information which confirms that the matter is actually sub judicism, the Committee can ... view
