• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: Last year, he presided over the Budget and Appropriations Committee which purported to allocate Kshs100 million to each Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for projects of their choice, over and above the CDF. Is this a man of God? So, one can even go and build a personal residence in his constituency as long as he colours it with “public utility”. That is the hon. Member we are talking about. Despite the rules, I am sure that you will agree with me, that the hon. Member is the most dishonourable. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since I do not see my counterpart across the Floor, on behalf of the leadership of the House, I want to join you in congratulating the distinguished Senators who have availed themselves everytime we have needed them. They created the necessary quorum by not only casting votes, but being very critical in analyzing, debating and arriving at a consensual position on every Bill. On behalf of the leadership, I thank and congratulate all the Senators. I urge them to redouble and rededicate their efforts as we move on to the next phase of asserting, not only our ... view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When the Vice Chairperson says that pulling out of Kiamayu is out, is 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
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a clear case of what the Kenya Power (KP) calls “Mulika mwizi.” You can see the attempt to run away from a mischief that the Government was trying to do. In the Statement, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator says – on page 1 – that the mandate of setting up polling stations belongs to the IEBC under Article 182 of the Constitution. In fact, Article 182 of the Constitution deals with vacancy in the office of the county governor. It has nothing to do with polling stations or the mandate of the IEBC. Mr. ... view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I go to the main issue, Article 82(1)(c) deals with continuous registration of citizens as voters and part (e) deals with the process of registration of citizens residing outside Kenya, and the progressive realization of their right to vote. This has nothing to do with establishing voting centres at all. view

• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, more importantly, on page 1, the point that he has avoided to answer – Article 249 on Independent Commissions is very clear: They shall work at the direction of nobody. On page 1, the last paragraph, the Cabinet directed the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Attorney General (AG) and the IEBC which is contrary to the provisions of Article 249. Further, the Chairperson is telling us that the mandate of the task force was broad and the electoral issue was only one of them. In fact, the mandate of the task force ... view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: , to use the language of Kenya Power (KP). This Jubilee Government fraudulently sneaked into power and they want to perpetuate themselves in a similar manner. We will stop this, monitor and ensure that this does not happen by usurping the powers and responsibilities of IEBC. Could he tell us why the Cabinet is directing IEBC? view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with Sen. Elachi, before I go to the challenge. This is the danger you run into and the possible embarrassment you suffer, like you are now, in jumping into a debate that you did not follow. This is because if you read the questions that I asked, the incompetent answers we received and the rejoinders we have made, then you would not stand up and irrelevantly bring the name of Raila Odinga into a debate that he has nothing to do with. view
• 28 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, that goes into deeper irrelevance. The diaspora vote will be achieved progressively and it is the exclusive responsibility of the IEBC. We have diaspora in Somalia. If you go to Somaliland, we have more than 10,000 Kenyans working there. Why are we running to the United States and not Somaliland? Since I do not want to go into some areas, let me respond to Sen. Beth Mugo. If she does not know that the Government she is serving came into power through fraud, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ... view
