• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Senate Minority Leader in order? Again, Standing Order No.90 (6) is very clear on how a Senator should be addressed; I am not “a lady.” Standing Order No.90 (6), states that:- “A Senator shall refer to another Senator by the title “Senator… (name of the Senator)” Secondly, if the canvassing of this statement was private and directed to the Senate Majority Leader, why are we hearing about it on the Floor? It should be for the House and, therefore, the property of the House. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We may laugh off these things but he is on record. He is continuing to say that I am on a learning curve. He may be older than me but does it give him the monopoly of information or knowledge? He must withdraw that statement. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to delve into a debate of a past Presidential Address and yet we were given time in this House to deliberate and debate on the issue, this being a Motion on how we conduct that business. Is it in order? view

• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I had just started explaining that in this country and the world, generally, issues have arisen where parents or even individuals seek to adopt children for one reason or another. We have issues where the fertility rate has declined over the years, of course, out of different issues like sickness, lifestyle and different factors. That said, therefore, you will find that we have people in this country who are opting to adopt rather than give birth to children. The Children Act, 2001, read together with the Constitution, upholds the rights of children. The two ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Niko kwa Hoja ya nidhamu Bw. Naibu Spika. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Bwana Spika, nafikiri hata kama namuelewa Sen. Omondi, bado najiuliza swali kwa sababu jina “Kipofu” liko kwa Kamusi ya Kiswahili na lina maana yake. Hata kama tunaelewa mahali anapotoka kwa walemavu, nafikiri pia hatuwezi tukabadilisha yale maneno ambayo yako kwa Kiswahili mufti na yako haki. Kwa hivyo, nikiulizwa naona neno “Kipofu”, liko sawa kabisa. view
