• 26 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In fact, I hoped that the Chair would come to my defence when I said on the Floor of this House that Members and chairmen of committees should not go and prostrate themselves before Cabinet Secretaries to get statements to this House. I was not advising any Committee not to discharge its functions, but I was simply having Article 125 that Sen. Khaniri has quoted in mind. You invite them and if they do not show up, you summon. If they do not turn up, you have sanctions. Why would the distinguished ... view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Have you noticed that repeatedly as the proceedings are going on, Sen. Njoroge has kept on raising his hand as if he is in a classroom? view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: We have gadgets here that would trigger the Speaker to catch his eye. Unless he was saluting what was going on--- view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to get embarrassed on behalf of Sen. Dullo for coming to read such a statement to this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when she tells this House that we lost nothing, is she aware that even an image loss is a loss? A country puts its President in the air and casually turns back and then we are told that we lost nothing. Since that incident, we have had three contradictory statements coming from the Executive. We were told that the plane turned back because it was going to fly over Yemen, which was a warzone. ... view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What is your direction? Is the gracious lady going to bring a further statement or is the Committee going to investigate the matter and bring a report? Will they bring it in form of a Motion so that the House can debate it? What is your direction because she has avoided answering any single question that was asked on the Floor of the House on the matter? All she has said is that she is going to look for information. Is the Committee going to carry out an inquiry or is she ... view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I meant “the distinguished gracious Senator”. view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am shocked at this rejectionist philosophy creeping into this House. A distinguished gracious lady Senator is not offensive, unless she is denying any association with grace. view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, you have guided the House by reading the Standing Orders selectively. view
• 26 May 2015 in Senate: If you went to Standing Order No.90(3), what is offensive is where you use offensive or insulting language in respect of a senator or another person. Mr. Speaker Sir, I speak very good English and I am quite well versed with the language. I have never known “grace” to be insulting or offensive. That notwithstanding, I also visit Standing Order No.90(6). It does not say: “A Senator shall only refer”. It simply says: “Shall refer”. That means that there are many ways of applying it. The Constitution is very clear that: “This Constitution shall be interpreted broadly and liberally.” These ... view
