• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hate to interrupt my distinguished colleague, but is she in order to pursue an argument that the point of order I raised was that one side cannot remain in the House and transact business? The argument on record is the threshold of numbers, not which side. view
• 29 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This matter is of grave national importance and the distinguished Chairman of the Committee should read the full content of Article 41 of the Constitution and understand that the question of paying teachers of this country their salaries cannot be hidden under the smoke-screen of the rule of sub judice . The teachers deserve their salaries and must be paid their salaries. Anything less is a violation of the Constitution and their rights under Articles 37, 39 and 41 which the Chairman should have an opportunity to read and advise the Teachers ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank Sen. Nabwala for raising this very important issue. We want the Deputy Majority Leader to tell us - and not to lose his fuse like yesterday- where the authority for this country to believe that there will be an El Nino came from. Where did it come from? Is it scientific? Every morning, when you listen to the Meteorological Department’s forecast, it is the usual showers and nothing else. When will the so called El Nino rains start because we were told it was going to start around the first week ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking a clarification. In the El Nino of 1997, the Government knows that people lost lives because they were living on river embankments in Nairobi. I have not seen anybody being moved away from river embankments within the crowded areas of Nairobi. What are we preparing for? We are told they are vaccinating animals. We do not need an ElNino to vaccinate an animal, surely, unless we are doing things at the wrong time in the wrong place. view
• 29 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sorry, Mr. Chairman, Sir. view
• 29 Oct 2015 in Senate: You are the Chairman. However, you are our Deputy Speaker. Therefore, we are tempted to look at your bigger picture rather than the smaller one in which you are now. Mr. Chairman, Sir, Sen. Orengo has raised a very fundamental point. I want us to look at it in a very rational manner. Many of us have been in this Parliament for a very long time. In many cases, when the President sends back a memorandum to the House – unless it is a serious transgression – Parliament has often accommodated the views of the President. When these Memoranda from ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in Senate: I am sorry, Mr. Chairman, Sir, I withdraw that word. However, I urge you to give serious consideration to this matter. As Sen. Orengo, Sen. G.G. Kariuki and other older Members here can tell us, this Parliament has walked through valleys and hills in this country to get where it is. The Clerk of Parliament was always a junior officer from the Office of the President until the amendments came. This Parliament now enjoys an equal authority, if not superior authority, to the Executive and the Judiciary. That is why it is Parliament that approves the appointment of the head ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in Senate: I am on a point of order. view
• 29 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, just a minute. I am winding up. We are trying to create a precedence for the future that will help generations to come. Because when we are not here tomorrow, confronted by a similar situation, the Third and Fourth Senate will look at what the distinguished Senator for Murang’a, seating as the Deputy Speaker of the House, wrote and delivered for guidance. That is why we fall back to our Standing Order No.1. We are guided by usage, precedence and everything else that helps us build a chronological future for the orderly running of our Houses of ... view
