• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have business. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.71, 78 and 79. When we started voting, I raised a question that we had reason to believe that the Samburu delegation led by distinguished Senator, Sammy Leshore, who is not here, did not have a designated Member of the delegation to vote. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the first vote that was more critical than any other, the Ayes got 24 votes. Among these 24 votes, was an invalid vote by an unauthorised Member of the Samburu delegation. I raised the issue, at ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter is not simple. It is serious. In the case of Raila Odinga versus Francis Ole Kaparo and two others, the vote in the National Assembly was successfully challenged because unauthorized persons were allowed to vote. This matter falls within that context. I want to urge you--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, earlier on in the proceedings, you cautioned the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet from behaving as if he owns this House. You were so right. I am not asking the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet to rule on a matter. I am asking the distinguished Speaker of this House--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: I want to conclude Mr. Speaker, Sir, by urging you that the good name that you have curved out as a distinguished Speaker of this House, must be translated into probity, honesty, good conduct and above all, fidelity to the law which includes any statute, the Constitution and the Standing Orders. It is a sad day in the history of this country that a Senator can vote as a masquerade and provide a victory that is undeserved in a matter in the House--- view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to belatedly wish all our colleagues a merry Christmas and a happy new year. We also appreciate the fact that our colleagues from both sides of the House have turned up in large numbers for today’s business. I heard some saying on radio that they are going to vote. They did not say that they were coming to consider a Bill. They said they were coming to vote which is very absurd. We want you to make a serious ruling on this. Article 118 of the Constitution says:- Parliament shall- (a) conduct its business in ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if your screen is full, then my statement was only limited to what I have heard so far. When I hear more, I will even seek a second opportunity top congratulate those who will stand up to be counted like I did to Sen. Sang. view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Let me finish by urging you that this Senate must be seen as a Senate. It is not a chief’s baraza where one comes with armed people to protect the chief from possible molestation by his people. This is a House of Parliament and it must remain so. I have more than 10 requests in my office of people who wanted me to give them cards to go to the public gallery and listen to these distinguished Members debating these issues. They cannot come because they cannot even access the precincts of Parliament. Is this part of Kahawa or Langata ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. Listening to my younger brother, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, one cannot fail to appreciate that he is a good man working for difficult people. view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the first time I have heard somebody so virulent after being called a good man. view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me proceed on the matter of the day. When this matter was dealt with in the National Assembly, it send very wrong and dangerous signal to the country. The manner in which the matter was handled, the conduct of the Executive, the flooding of policemen and policewomen in Parliament--- view
