• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this issue was very urgent. I asked for it on 1st October 2014, and the Speaker has ruled consistently that it be brought the following week. We are now on 5th of November of 2014. It would be very unfair for me to ask for another two weeks. In fact, I should ask that the answer be brought tomorrow. view
• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senator for Nyamira in order to condemn this House for unbundling a function and taking it to the county, yet we know that that role was done by the framers of the Constitution, we voted for it and the Fourth Schedule is very clear on how these functions are allocated? view
• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: No, it is a point of order. Is he in order? view

• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Speaker. I want to start by congratulating the Mover of this Motion. It is a very timely Motion because what we are going through as a country in the health sector is actually a time bomb. When I was a Member of the Committee on Devolved Government, the practitioners had seen this problem quite early. They had seen the signs and they had come to petition the Committee with a proposal on what needs to be done. I know there have been numerous problems. There has been even clamour to get referral hospitals like my colleague Sen. ... view

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for us, as a House, to assume that since a committee was deliberated in a Kamukunji, it was operationalized? The due process of operationalizing any committee in an informal sitting should be done in the plenary. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Maybe just for clarification and procedure, even Sen. Orengo had indicated that this Committee has already started work. Does a Kamukunji formally constitute and operationalize? To me, it is still not clear. The reason that this Motion is here is so that we can give the legal mandate to this Committee to actually start operations. Is it in order to refer to the Constitution in the informal set up of a Kamukunji? view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The first time I saw this Motion in one of last week’s Order Papers though we were not able to debate it, I was in a meeting with Sen. Wako. The first thing I told him was that it looked to me like the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. That was my first reaction. Secondly, I asked him whether it was a preserve of lawyers only.
