• 12 May 2015 in Senate: On point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On a procedural issue, when Statements are sought in this House, it is the Office of the Clerk that administratively must process and seek responses from the Executive. On what basis, other than exuberance and enthusiasm, that has no help to this House, would the Chairman walk to the CS’s Office? This is demeaning the status and standing of the Senate. The Chairman of a Committee in this House is a very important person in terms of pecking order and in terms of standing. Why would he walk to the CS’s Office to ... view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There was a Statement that I sought from the Committee of Legal Affairs and Human Rights regarding the pronounced intention, in fact process, of the Executive purporting to open polling centres in certain choice cities in the United States of America (USA). That Statement is due today. view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sang has mentioned to me what he has said. We do not raise questions and seek Statement for the fun of it. When the respondents tell us that they will bring the Statements in two weeks, we take it as true and wait patiently until after the two weeks when we start to request that our Statements be delivered. This is a very important Statement we are seeking; we are trying to prevent the pre-rigging of the next election. We want to get very clear assurance. Could the Vice Chair tell us exactly when he will ... view

• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with my Committee Chairman. The Executive, in particular the Permanent Secretary (PS) for Foreign Affairs and International Trade has been dishing out Statements that would fit into the Statement being sought by the distinguished Senator for Nyandarua through the media. Why would the Executive find it easier to address the Press than to bring information to the distinguished Senate of the Republic of Kenya, on a matter that is so important affecting the security of the Head of State of this country? First, they said that Yemen is at war and so they could not ... view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for an opportunity to second this Bill. This is one of the critical Bills that are a consequence of the passage and promulgation of the Kenyan Constitution, 2010. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that this Bill comes to this House when we are on the brink of the constitutional deadline. The impression given out there is that the Senate has not worked hard enough to comply with the constitutional The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Meru County is my learned colleague and senior. He knows that there is a doctrine called res ipsa loquitur which means, “Things speak for themselves.” When a person turns up in a harambee and places Kshs5 million cash and another one places Kshs2 million cash on a table, respectively, and there is no way they can explain or account for the money and yet one of them is being embroiled in all manner of scandalous and corrupt transactions, then the conclusion is very clear. view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe that substantiated to the satisfaction of the distinguished Senator who raised the issue; by pointing out that, indeed, when people run around every weekend obscenely displaying wealth that they cannot account for, it is a prima facie case of corruption. But let that not--- view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not reduce myself to cheap indignities that are being brought to the Floor of this House. view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have already said it was not worth my response, which means that it was cheap and undignified. view
