• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as we move to the next level of inviting another seconder, I am embarrassed at the turn of events. I would like to point out that this Motion should be looked at within the context of the Standing Order No.212 which guides the composition of the CPAIC. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: I can see the “virus” from the Senate Majority Leader is spreading backwards. I, therefore, invite the distinguished Senator for Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, to second the Motion and then we can debate it thereafter. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we are now witnessing degeneration into unhelpful polemics on a matter that is so clear. Once a Motion has been moved, seconded and proposed, no Member of the House has the capacity to question its legal competence because it is properly before the House. It has been moved, seconded and the question has been proposed. Therefore, there is a Motion before the House. I truly want to see that, in the spirit of the questionable loss in Kericho and the overwhelming victory in Malindi, we approach a bipartisan process of dealing with issues in this House so ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, will you then come to me? view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is an important point which was raised by Sen. Obure. He asked the source of the Motion. The RBC is a Committee of this House. It sits with the leadership of the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader. Their Whips and their deputies are Members among others. This matter was canvassed and agreed upon, including the numbers and the names at the RBC before it was brought here. Therefore, to be wise after the event is an assault on the integrity to this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, Standing Order No.212 is distinct and it ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: I talked of symptoms of heckling because the Senator was gesturing and looking at me. Those are symptoms of heckling. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let me finalize by reading Standing Order No. 212 (2). It provides that:- “The County Public Accounts and Investments Committee shall consist of a Chairperson, whom shall be a Member of the second largest party or a coalition of parties in the Senate, and not more than eleven Senators.” Therefore, the opposition is given the Chair and the Committee has eleven Members to which the majority party is entitled to six and we are entitled to five. We then provide a Chairperson who shall make the membership to six each. That is the purpose of this Standing ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: It is my time. You will have your rebuttal time. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is what informed the RBC which is chaired by the Speaker. What is before the House, to cut a long story short as Jeffrey Archer would put it, is to refer this matter to the substantive Speaker who chairs the RBC, and who presided over the proceedings that brought this Motion to the House and who in law, we will submit, will be estopped from thinking differently from the position he has taken to make a reasoned ruling and give direction. Otherwise, we are just being disruptive and engaging in arguments that simply show that we ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my distinguished colleague, the Senate Majority Leader, and I have been holding the same position on oversight issues throughout the years. I do not see why my brother should become hostage of dark forces that are determined to derail the process of oversight of counties. view
