• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said over and again that English is a foreign language. I did not mention any name in relation to the character. So, I did not talk about any Senator. All manner of characters could include our clerks, orderlies or anybody; but the guilty are afraid. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge the distinguished guests--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Jesus said that he never came for the pious; he came to save the wrongdoers. In fact, if you are holy, you do not have to go to church. We go to church to confess our sins and seek--- view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me finish by echoing the words of Sen. Orengo. This country is at cross-roads and on the brink of self-destruction. We need prayers, divine intervention and collective thinking in that direction. I urge our distinguished guests to pray for this country at their solemn moments. Pray for the good Almighty God to descend upon the Jubilee leadership that has lost network so that they can come back to their senses and run this country in the manner expected of the people of Kenya. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I thank you for having led this House this far. However, we must resist the temptation to be an Executive rubberstamp. If you look at the record of debate on this matter – the Motion was moved, seconded, two Members made contributions and then Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale moved an amendment.

I fully share the sentiments of the distinguished Senator for Trans-Nzoia; there are ... view

• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this amendment. However, before I second, I want to seek direction from the Chair. My understanding of the Standing Orders is that after the secondment, the Chair proposes the Question and we will have to dispose it off before we go back to the original Motion. Having no voting numbers this afternoon, it means this debate will go on tomorrow. I have substantial information to contribute on the main Motion as well. view
• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the error is on the face of it. In law, we say records do not lie. We have nine Members including the Chair. In seconding this amendment, I am rightly driven and convinced by the reasons advanced by the Senator for Kakamega County, reasons that I believe the Chairman of the Committee to which the three of us belong will have no difficulty with. Budget and figures are scientific and one can approximate where there are no real figures. In the last census that caused this country many problems, the then Minister responsible told us that ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point raised goes to the very reports of how we process public concerns addressed to us. I will refer to Standing Order No.219. This is very serious and important. This is about the meaning of a ‘petition’. Standing Order No. 219: Meaning of petition “For purposes of this Part, a petition means a written prayer to the Senate under Article 37 or 119 of the Constitution by a member of the public requesting the Senate to consider any matter within its authority as contemplated in Articles 94 and 96 of the Constitution, including enacting, amending ... view
