• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it looks like we do not have serious work in this House. The Standing Orders require that when you refer to a fellow Senator, you start by calling them ‘Senator’. In fact, when I called her the distinguished Senator lady, she smiled more broadly than she is doing now. She did not complain. What is important is that I start, for example, by saying ‘the distinguished Sen. Ali, the doctor from Wajir’. That cannot be offensive. view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The practice in this House is that statements are given a gestation period of two weeks to be delivered on the Floor. If the two weeks are over, and the distinguished chairman in unable to bring the answer, then he seeks the indulgence of the House for an extension. For us to start asking for five weeks away is actually abdicating duty and taking this House for a ride. The distinguished Senator who requested for the statement has already expressed displeasure at the suggestion of five weeks. I urge that the House ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to ride on that very important Statement sought. These institutions are public and independent with Boards of Directors. The Chairman must also bring to this House board resolutions, when the board sat, the minutes of the meetings and the decisions they arrived at in collapsing their institutions into a mega institution so that we get to know whether this is a unilateral and reasonable act or it is a procedural matter that has been followed up within the law. Thirdly, the Chairman should bring the Cabinet resolution. The Constitution requires that such resolutions must be ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to second. I begin by welcoming all Members back to the House after a deserved rest and recess which I hope you meaningfully used to fraternise and engage your constituents, where you have them. Those of you who can complement others, I hope you did so. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Committee that is going to determine the business that we transact in this House. The membership is the same as it was in the last Session; so continuity is guaranteed. As we pass this Motion, I want to urge this House ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the direction, though true, is a bit disheartening. This is because, yes, it is not compulsory for everybody or anybody to vote but it is absolutely important and necessary that we discharge our obligation to vote because we are voting for people going to represent the country in the regional Parliament that will shape and determine the integration of this region. So, an abdication of that responsibility will define your level of irresponsibility as a Senator. We encourage, through you, that all Senators present within the precincts of Parliament be whipped to come into the Chamber ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I second, as a matter of House etiquette, our Standing Orders require that when any Member is on his feet, as the Senate Majority Leader was, the rest of the Members can either be in motion or seated. Did you notice the Majority Whip standing behind there and fiddling with her phone for the last almost 20 minutes? That is un-procedural and a flouting of the rules. Similarly, a Nominated Senator has been on her feet talking to Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki for the last 10 minutes. It is again out of order and I urge you ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. In so doing, I want to encourage those who will be Members of the Committee on Education. Part of education is devolved, but a very small portion of it. I would want this House to engage with the national Government and devolve the construction and management of physical infrastructure in primary and secondary schools in the country. It is unlikely that somebody sitting in Jogoo House will know how many classrooms a school in Tartar in West Pokot County or in a ward in Baringo County would require. These are some of the ... view

• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to encourage - and I am addressing this to my brother, Sen. Murkomen - that in the last Parliament, we had a few Members from this side chairing committees that otherwise would have been the preserve of the other side. We have Sen. Amos Wako, a man with an impeccable and distinguished record that adds value to this House, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri and Sen. Khaniri; people with vast experience.
