• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Wait, Sen. Hassan. It is not copied to any of the delegation members to enable them to arrive at how to consult as envisaged under the Constitution. So far, you have done very well in this House and we have no doubt that you will continue doing well. We shudder to get to a situation where a process of this level of contention gets wind assistance from a letter whose authentication we cannot vouch for. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: I am on a point of order! On behalf of the side I lead, I want to demand to see the proxy nominations for other members of other delegations that will purport to vote on behalf of their delegations. This applies to the delegation from Isiolo and Samburu counties. We want to see clear appointment letters for them to be allowed to vote in this matter. The importance of this matter--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: I am finishing, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The critical importance of this matter cannot be overemphasized. It is not usual that you preside over this House and you have these long protracted arguments. They are not for nothing. They are not because the Senate wants to be romantic in its dealings today. It is because we are faced with a matter of momentous effect on the country and we want to ensure that everything is done properly. Finally, I want to urge you to nullify the Kisii vote and allow us to vote on this matter. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I strongly support Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for the amendment he has moved to delete this Clause. This is the single most dangerous Clause in this law. As we said earlier, this Clause will ignite unhelpful consequences to this country. Plain English, like professor says – when you want to draft a law to strengthen, fortify or expand the application of the law you are dealing with, you start by saying, “subject to this section.” Then you go on to say, “This section applies but the following situations will also apply.” That is why we always say ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, it does appear that the Senator for Nyeri has a very fertile imagination. At no time did I say that people will kill each other and the HANSARD will bear me out. At no time did I say that people will go to the streets neither did I threaten anybody. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: But he has gone on beyond the opinion--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Keep your peace. This matter is very important--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: I want to urge you, Mr. Chairman, Sir, to keep in mind the principle that; “time for man and not man for time”. We have already visited this country on a matter that is not good. I was responding to the point of order by the Senator for Nyeri County, who obviously did not hear what I said. If he did, he did not understand. If he understood, he ignored what I said. We must put this on record. This is a House of record. Those of us who want to vote quickly and go home are in the wrong ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I just sought the Floor again because of what Sen. Haji said. It is always not good to cast aspersions on Members of the public who come to give contributions. If you look at the list, very distinguished organizations came. The Law Society of Kenya (LSK), the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), the National Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Governors cannot be called “the usual complainants”. One of the governors who came here is a distinguished professor of law; Governor Kivutha Kibwana who gave very cogent views. Even if we hold divergent views, I want ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, my senior brother has a right to his opinion but we have the right to defend those who cannot defend themselves here.
