• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we can call the HANSARD to be printed and brought here to see if I ever called anybody, this afternoon, a voting machine. I said that anyone of us here--- When I am pointing the direction I am looking at, I could very well turn and point this way as well. I am cautioning us, including myself. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, have you noticed that since the former Inspector-General of Police entered the race for the Senator of Elgeyo-Marakwet, the sitting Senator has become increasingly impatient and erratic? view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will continue from where I was interrupted. However, I will be brief because I want to give room to others to contribute. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard very extravagant political romanticism reaching the House. There were statements like the minority will have their say and the majority will have their way. It may be so. You may win today, but tomorrow is waiting. You may win the battle, but you will not win the war. You may vote today under the guise of numbers, but I want to tell you the numbers are not in this ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the distinguished Senator for Meru, whom we have also recognised as a king, who is staring at embarrassment and humiliation by his turncoat behaviour to turn the debate into discussing me instead of justifying the unjustifiable that he has done in the Committee; of abandoning a very good work that he did with Sen. Orengo for which we put many feathers on his head in congratulations? view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. So far so good, we have debated this Bill very well and we do not want either through acts or omissions of anybody to end up badly and spoil the name of this House and individual Senators. As we go to vote, I want to request and urge you that this may look like an ordinary Bill but because of the consequences of its possible outcome, the side that I lead is requesting the Chair that those who are holding proxies for heads of delegations must, as has previously been demanded by ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to emphasize the point raised by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and speak to the Kisii Delegation. The Kisii Delegation, led by the distinguished Sen. Chris Obure, has always had Sen. Janet Ong’era carrying the proxy for the Delegation leader. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Sen. Cheruiyot, if you have a contrary view, the Speaker will give you time. You are too ‘new’ to shout at older people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Ong’era has a written letter from Sen. Chris Obure, the Senator for Kisii County. I have seen the letter that the Nominated Senator rushed in panting with. That letter does not revoke the appointment of Sen. Onge’ra as the proxy for the Delegation leader. If the Delegation from Kisii is being caused this embarrassment by their Delegation leader, by giving letters to two Senators, then we will look at his conduct. Between the ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Even in ordinary voting when one votes twice, the vote does not count. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to be a victim of repetition. I just want to invite you to determine under Article 123(4)(b) - because I am sitting here with Sen. Ong’era - whether Sen. Ong’era has consulted or whether Sen. Onchwangi has consulted Sen. Ong’era as required by the Constitution before the proxy casts a vote. It is very clear that the person who votes on behalf of a delegation shall vote after consulting the other Members of the delegation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are faced with two things. First, you have two proxy votes, each carrying a ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Thank you for giving me the Floor again. Looking at these two letters, the structure of the earlier letter is addressed to the Speaker, giving Sen. Ong’era unlimited authority to vote in the absence of Sen. Obure. The unlimited authority remains in force even today. The letter is addressed to the Speaker, it is copied to the Clerk as is expected and it is also copied to Sen. Ong’era as is expected. A clear look at the signature in the yellow and blue letter clearly indicates that the signature in the blue letter is not the same ... view
