• 12 Nov 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to contribute. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in Senate: Bi Spika wa Muda, ningependa kumuuliza Mwenyekiti wa Kamati kama anajua ya kwamba Wakenya walemavu wanaoitwa zeruzeru wako katika hatari kubwa ya kutekwa nyara na kusafirishwa hadi nchi jirani, ambapo wanaamini ya kwamba viungo vya miili yao vinaweza kutumiwa kwa ushirikina na uchawi. Namkumbusha kwamba kijana mmoja zeruzeru kutoka Kitale, alitekwa nyara na wahalifu na kupelekwa mpaka nchi jirani ya Tanzania. Aliweza kunusurika wakati polisi walizingira nyumba alimokuwa amewekwa na kuwashika wale wakora na kumrudisha kabla hajajinchwa na mwili wake kukatwakatwa ili viungo vyake vitumiwe kwa uchawi na ushirikina. Je, Serikali inafanya nini ili kutetea na kuwalinda zeruzeru na haki ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations in relation to a strange and bizarre statement and order given by the Cabinet Secretary for Interior, to the effect that a journalist who had written a story he did not like be arrested, and in fact, he was arrested. Secondly, he made an appearance on national television and all other television channels, giving a stern warning that anybody who writes a report or story about corruption shall be arrested, frogmarched to a police station and be made to ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I respectfully walked to the Chair and sought permission to rise and request for this Statement. The Chair dutifully, lawfully and graciously granted me the permission. That The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not a House of trivia. We are dealing with very serious issues and those who think that the rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals in this country are for trivia, are in the wrong place. You allowed me to seek a statement and the Chairperson of the Committee, a distinguished Senator from Garissa who is a former Provincial Commissioner and a former Minister for Internal Security is not protesting. Why are they wailing louder than the bereaved? view
• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that ruling that has some issues that I raised, succinctly clarified and others left hanging. One point that I raised, but the Chair has not touched it at all, and I am not contesting the ruling, is the question of proxy votes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, each delegation is headed by an elected Senator. We have at times been a bit liberal, so to speak, in allowing Members of delegation to vote because they are in the House without asking whether they are designated and nominated to vote. For instance, ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: I am on a point of order. You cannot interject with another point of order. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are right in affirming the duty of the Chair to be consistent. I also encourage that when the Chair takes a position, and on hindsight realises that a better position is around the corner, I want you to visit the words of Lord Denning when he said that you may hold a good idea, but a better idea arrives and you are duty bound to change your position. The best idea arrives and you are more duty bound to change your position. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me also to congratulate and welcome the delegations from Nyandarua, Makueni, Nyamira and Vihiga; more particularly, Nyamira County which is led by my very good friend, Hon. Nyamongo and Vihiga County by my very good friend, Tom. As they come here to learn, I want to encourage them that this “Upper House” is a House of example and very mature and balanced people, representing their counties. I want to encourage them that yesterday, we launched the Okoa Kenya Constitution (Amendment) Bill that will have a major bearing on them. It proposes the setting up of ward ... view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker Sir. I need your guidance. When we last rose in the House a week ago, I was on the Floor and at the time the Clerks switched on the red lights, I mistakenly thought they were warning me that my time was up. So, I prematurely said “I beg to support” when, in fact, my time was still available. Do I have the opportunity to carry on or I give way to somebody else knowing that the mistake was not mine? view
