• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not always war when we are in the House. However, I want to inform Sen. Orwoba of Standing Order No. 45, on sequence of proceedings. Statements come before Motions. I want to inform her that the proceedings are fairly organized. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you undertook that today we are not starting a fight. I congratulate you for that. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not a legal matter. It is a political matter, clothed as a legal matter. We are behaving, not unlike many county assemblies, which in the last 10 years have built a strong precedence in removal of Speakers, Deputy Speakers and Leaders of the Houses. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have seen this in Homa Bay County Assembly. In the last term, they changed the Speaker four times, Leaders of Majority and Minority almost five times. Every time, they hid under legal terms like that which was used in your Communication. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you carefully read Standing Order No.23, which I have read up to the end, we are engaged in what Shakespeare would call, “too much ado about nothing.” Once you receive communication of changes from the Minority, the Standing Orders do not require you to do anything. All you are required to do, is to receive. I have read Standing Order No.23. I have heard the Chairperson of Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee say there is an element of communication. It is not there. There is no communication. Probably, communication could be ... view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Even on our side, there is nothing that stops Sen. Olekina, from assuming the duties of a Whip. All we need is a Communication from the Speaker or the Clerk, to ensure that there is a proper and orderly handover. I urge the new office bearers, to treat staff that they will find in those offices well. Finally, we are watering down this Senate. This is our Second Session and we have not processed any single private Members Bill. My Bill is on the Order Paper. Release us, so that we can start discussing issues. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if ... view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: That is the positon we are putting ourselves in. Very soon, we shall be considered alongside county assemblies, if we continue squabbling instead of --- view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The substantive point of order is that before we leave Order No.2, we expect a Communication from the Chair. We do not expect a ruling because there is nothing to rule on. A ruling comes when there is ambiguity; when there are grey areas but where the Standing Order is clear on how the majority or minority side should conduct themselves as far as leadership is concerned--- view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, this is my point of order, it is not on the Senate Minority Leader view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is my point of order. It is not synchronised with the Senate Minority Leader. We do not and I do not expect a ruling. If you are going to give a ruling, then you will be taking powers that do not belong to you. The role of the Speaker in the Constitution is to be an umpire and not a player. You cannot put on the uniform of one side and purport to decide for some side of the game how they should conduct themselves. view
