• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I see an attempt by the two distinguished Senators to divert the attention from the question. I was listening very carefully. The Senator for Kakamega, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, made reference to a purported opening of an international border at Lwakhakha in Bungoma by the President on Saturday. This is a border post that was already developed and opened during the Kibaki Regime. President Kibaki sent the late Sen. Otieno Kajwang when he was Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons to open it officially. That is the issue that he referred to as “bure kabisa.” ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Vice Chairperson to clarify if it is true that in the last financial year, the IEBC was given Kshs18 million to carry out voter registration in the whole country. I would also like him to confirm that six months ago, the IEBC announced that it would carry out what he has described as “massive voter registration” from 15th November this year, for one full month. Some of us even prepared to take leave to go to the villages and help people to go and register. Today is 18th November, 2015. Is the programme ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to seek clarification on the content of the Order Paper. Yesterday, we were dealing with the Presidential Memorandum on two Bills; the Audit Bill and the Procurement Bill. We disposed off the Audit Bill, and Wednesday is a day for voting and we expected that the Memorandum of the President would be given priority to appear on the Order Paper today so that we continue dealing with it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, there were several Division Bills that have been reproduced on the Order Paper. We dealt with Order Nos. ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The tradition and practice of the House is that when Mr. Speaker comes back to the Chair after the Committee, the orderly is supposed to announce to the House that Mr. Speaker is back. We did not hear that announcement. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: No, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Direct that to the clerks-at-the-Table, they are the ones who run the House. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you go to House of Commons, a hooded person comes and says: “Mr. Speaker, hats off Strangers”. Then they give way for Mr. Speaker. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: This is a very important Bill which was moved by the Senate Majority Leader. At the time we went to the Committee, the House had enough delegations. Now, as we report progress, it is a clear indication of our lack of collective commitment to what we should be doing in this House. I want to put it on record that we have lobbied even up to the Members lobby. The Majority Leader was also there. We requested him to make sure we have enough delegations. He is not even here. These are Bills that are so critical to move our ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I said, and if it offends my distinguished colleague, it is unfortunate, “proxy” in English means a representative of another. Under the Constitution, the head of delegation of Nakuru is Sen. Mungai. When he is here, he votes, and when he is not here, you vote on behalf of the delegation and, therefore, you become a proxy vote. A proxy is a representative; it is not an offensive term at all. The distinguished Senator for Kajiado is a head of delegation, so is Kirinyaga, Embu and Kericho. You walk in the shadow of the head ... view
