• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, voting in Parliament and voting in the Senate is a serious and sacred matter. When we go to vote from time immemorial - Victorian Times - once the bar is drawn all the doors are locked. Whoever is not in the Chamber has excluded themselves from voting. Did you see the bar was drawn, the door swung open and colleagues walked right in? That is highly irregular, unprocedural and you may wish to look at Erskine May on what they say about voting and the meaning of drawing the bar. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you may have overlooked the fact that there was a Statement which was issued by the distinguished Senator on the Floor and it was put aside. The Speaker informed the House that when we finish the voting that we have just finished, we will go back to that Statement of Sen. Musila which was issued by the distinguished Senator for Embu County. We had issues to take on that Statement. I do not know if you have set it aside altogether or you will come back to it because it was to come immediately after the ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Embu is mixed up, but we forgive him since for the last two weeks, I have not been seeing him in the House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Motion is a product of the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) in which I and other Senators sit. It was informed by the fact that we have a backlog of work that we need to dispose of before we go for the mandatory Adjournment for the Christmas recess. We have, in fact, intended in the RBC that we sit tomorrow morning and afternoon. In ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform Sen. Orengo – I fully agree with what he is saying – is that this Motion is without prejudice to any intended adjournment on Thursday. It is only limited to sitting tomorrow morning and in my seconding, I also said what he is saying; that we may rethink the mandatory recess on Thursday in view of what is happening. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the views I gave when seconding the Motion were purely personal. However, as a leader in this House when I make such views, they carry a lot of weight. That we on this side, and I believe that the distinguished Senator for Mandera County to whom we send our very sincere condolences for the massive loss of lives in his constituency and county 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
• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you may have noticed that the distinguished Sen. Njoroge was smiling approvingly to what I was saying. As I said, the views were mine. On a serious note even if we sit tomorrow in the morning at 9.30a.m, which does not bother me in either way, the adjournment on Thursday should not be on the cards in view of what is happening in the country; the security challenges we are facing and the panic mode in which we see the Jubilee regime now in. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I listened to Sen. Haji speak with strong words and emotion, I realized that we have a serious problem because he normally weighs what he says. That touched a raw nerve. The distinguished Senator for Garissa speaks volumes. In countries like Israel, the United States and many European countries, when the country is going through a crisis like this, the Government of the day reaches out to the opposition to close ranks and solve the problems of the country, or at the very least, discuss, appreciate and offer solutions. Here we have a Government that ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is up to the Mover to decide. Even when we give the Committee an opportunity, in the interest of the nation, they can go beyond what we have said. We can invite the Committee in the “Lower House” to twin with our Committee and work together. It is not difficult. We will do that because the Chairperson of the Committee that I belong to is right here with us. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when J.M. Kariuki was murdered those were the most difficult times. It was under a most frightening regime in the history of ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in Senate: No, it is a different matter. view
