• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki sat there and listened to me. I talked about the failings of the Jubilee Regime but not individuals. Are you satisfied that the Senate Majority Leader is in order to turn the Leader of the Opposition and the Senate Minority Leader across the Floor into a person to be debated? I did not mention him anywhere. When I referred to the Head of State, I said President Uhuru and his regime. I criticised them because that is my business and duty. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is he in ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I thank Nairobi County Government. I noticed that in Westlands near the Westgate mall, it reclaimed a wetland that had been grabbed by, of all people, a church. It demolished the wall and built a beautiful boulevard through that wetland connecting Ali Mwanzi Road and Brookside. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that notwithstanding, you know that “Nairobi” is a Maasai name which means “a place of cool waters.” The Maasais used to graze everywhere. They brought their animals to Nairobi to drink cool waters. If you drive around Nairobi, you will see very many beautiful little streams. As ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to better what the distinguished Senator for Kakamega has asked; that the statement being given be tabled first and copies be availed to every distinguished Senator, so that we can interrogate it in greater detail and from an informed position. The distinguished Senator for Nyandarua is a very honourable Member who is never known to act maliciously. However, I can also see this as a ploy to use menial appointments to small, unhelpful and moribund parastatals to mask the massive tribalism that the Jubilee Government is practising in this ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I understand that there was a ruling from the Chair that the statement such as this can be given even in the absence of the questioner. If you look at this statement- I think we should not have rules of general application from the Chair. The honorable questioner, the distinguished Senator for Tana River, has asked a question that is specific to his county, which means that he is the only Senator that would be competent to interrogate the answers given and what prompted him to ask the question. It is ... view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Khaniri for raising the issue. I would also want the Chairperson of the Committee to clearly – in fact, before bringing the actual Statement – give an interim Statement and directions that apart from the police force which is recognised in the Constitution, this Senate passed a Motion only to allow the Nairobi County Government to have a metropolitan police force. No other county has any authority in law or fact to entertain recruitment, training and management of a militia which is being paid for by public funds. What goes on out there is ... view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the distinguished Senator for Bungoma goes to a funeral, he either stands if there is no seat or sits on the ground or any seat available and given to him by anybody at the funeral. You do not engage in the extravagance and obscenity of transporting a chair on a pick-up for 20 kilometres to go and sit on it. Finally, I would expect the Chair to also direct the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget to inquire into how much has been budgeted for in each county for the management and payment of this militia, ... view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Do you notice when we are receiving a very important response to a very critical issue, the Senate Majority Leader is laughing away the afternoon with two distinguished Senators and disrupting the proceedings of the House? view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when this matter came to the Floor, I was one of those who rose after Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I congratulate you. You have demonstrated that you do not fear to speak and you do not speak in fear. That is the Speaker we want and that is the Speaker we have; the Speaker who has the ability and courage to defend and uphold the Constitution. Over and above that, your ruling should not be in vain. This House has been sidestepped, ignored and by-passed. I have no doubt that the President is not a foolish person because ... view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you watched the Chairman, who is normally a very confident person, his body language betrayed him. He did not even believe in what he was reading. How can the Cabinet Secretary and you, as our Speaker, sitting there unilaterally, because he says there was no public sector participation to raise the capital of banks from Kshs1 billion to Kshs5 billion. Banking is not about size, it is about services. Sen. Khaniri, Sen. Ndiema and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale can tell the House that courtesy of devolution, five western counties have come together and are putting Kshs250 million ... view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the Central Bank that determines, sets, guides and breeds monetary policy of any country. If the Governor says he is not for this, where is the Cabinet Secretary getting authority to do the misguided pronouncement? 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
