• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Given the importance and interest that may be generated by this matter, would I be in order to request the Chair to limit our interventions and contributions to five minutes? I have been privy to the reading on your screen and I can see that it is already full. We are sitting up to half past six. We can either extend our sitting time to 7.00 p.m so that as many Members as possible can speak as adequately as they possibly can or we use five minutes per speaker. view

• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The distinguished Senator for Nyeri County cannot continue misleading this House. He has tabled a gazette notice. What he is holding and reading is different from what he gave you. view

• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my sympathies and condolences first go to the 21 police officers and their families who were killed in cold blood. As Sen. Ongoro said, two wrongs do not make a right. There is a very worrying trend emerging in Kenya. As the 21 officers were killed, an army barracks was attacked in Mombasa, and an Administration Police (AP) camp was also attacked in Malindi and so on. This is a worrying problem because when the security forces are The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: He is the fourth President of Kenya. We have had three Presidents before him. At no time did I see, except only once or twice at a ceremony---.

• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: I will be very quick. I have made the point, those who have heard have heard and they will know the truth. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 241 gives the President the authority to deploy the military internally only with the approval of the National Assembly. This can only be done on a case by case basis. There is no way any Parliament in its right frame of mind can give a blanket approval that as and when the President wishes he directs the Minister for Defence to gazette a defective gazette order and then proceed to deploy the military. ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: This gazette notice says that they deploy in West Pokot and Turkana. Baringo is not mentioned. Therefore, the military is unconstitutionally deployed in Baringo.

There is a woman weeping uncontrollably on television because she had taken a loan to improve her business, but the military had taken her money. The military is here to protect the territorial ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the clarifications sought and to the best of my knowledge, I do not think the Vice Chancellor has been appointed or has he? If he has not, when will he be appointed? Secondly, we are seeing a trend going on at Jogoo House where the Minister is abusing his discretion by appointing persons who have not been listed as the top interviewees. This happened recently in the case of the Wasanga successor where he jumped the line and appointed somebody who was not number one. We have had a very strange statement from the Chairman that ... view
