• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you Madam Speaker. The first Sessional Committee lasted for about one month. That was not sufficient time to carry out our induction. It was the time when members of staff were on leave. We were not able to achieve anything besides electing the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson. We also had some brief joint committee meetings with the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. I do not intend to lay the blame anywhere because we all understand the interesting circumstances within which we operated in the first Session of this House.

• 31 Aug 2017 in Senate: Mr. Clerk, with a lot of respect, you have made an order on the issue of cameras but, if you look at the positioning of the booths, they are right under the Closed Circuit Television System (CCTV) of Parliament. If you look at the booth on this side, it is right under that camera and the booth on the other side is right under the camera. Yesterday, a Member raised an issue out of history. This is not an idle concern; in the past such things that were supposed to be secret were subjected to undue scrutiny. Could you order ... view
• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this particular matter. This House has an obligation to review the Standing Orders on a regular basis and make sure that they are fit for purpose, and ensure that this House fulfils its obligation as the House of reason and, as expected, the Upper House in the constitutional dispensation of Kenya. I wish to congratulate and thank the Members of the Committee. I notice that you are also a Member of the Committee. I do hope they will give you an opportunity to append your signature to ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I might appear to be pre-empting you but when we had a sitting last Friday, there was a directive that you were to provide on the Division of Revenue Bill. I hope I am just being pre-emptive. view
• 13 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the very detailed ruling on this matter. I am obliged to be guided by your wisdom and submit to your authority, even if I believe that there could have been certain areas of interpretation that I would have looked at differently. My only prayer is that in as much as the Standing Orders do not impose consequences on failed mediation, it would have been good for the Senate to get a report and understand what happened in the mediation. This is because this House gave a mandate to a team, which we thought was ... view
• 9 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to comment and seek some clarification on the first Message regarding the Division of Revenue Bill. My memory recollects that the Senate and the National Assembly had gone to mediation on this particular Bill where the Senate had made recommendations that were beyond what the National Assembly had proposed. Is it in order for this House to be briefed on the outcome of the mediation and a report of the mediation committee also be tabled in this House? Further, is it in order for us to understand whether this is a fresh Bill or ... view
• 9 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we moved to the next Order rather fast. I just want to seek one clarification following your Communication. view
• 9 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am looking at Standing Order No. 146 against Article 113 of the Constitution. We went into a Mediation exercise where there was no quorum and the Bill was negativated. For the same Bill to be reintroduced, our Standing OrderNo. 146 is quite clear on the duration. Are we satisfied as a House that, that duration has been respected or has there been any amendment to these Standing Orders that we are not aware of? My expectation is that the Mediation process would have provided the cure to the problem that we currently find ourselves in. We ... view
• 9 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would wish to, first of all, thank the Committee that worked on this particular Bill and for bringing it to the House. view
