• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to support the Report as laid on the Table of the House. This is a milestone in our short history as a Senate. The process that culminates in this report today puts to shame doomsday believers that have been saying that bicameral system in this country cannot work. For the first time, a mediation process as provided for in the law has brought fruits to the Table. This Bill was supported by the whole House. Indeed, at the operationalisation of this Bill, there might be one or two hitches but ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not debating any individual from the Lower House, I just commented that when a Member talks inaudibly, recklessly and without any due regard to other people’s feelings, he is rattling and I will leave it there. I am not saying anything more. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was rudely interrupted by the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet. I was acknowledging the mediation team and charity begins at home. I have to acknowledge our Members from here, then move on to Members from the other House. That is why I brought in a man, who if he sat in that Committee, probably, we would not have reached these results. I salute the team from the Lower House for seeing the direction that the Constitution, the law, the common man and the country desire. We cannot and we shall not, as a country, engage in endless ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My distinguished friend and good lady here knows that in the presence of Sen. Kembi- Gitura, she has no vote here unless she is delegated to vote. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am, in fact, told that she is from the Nakuru delegation. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, I am told that she is from the Nakuru delegation. But be that as it may, votes in this Senate Chamber are by delegations. Each delegation has one vote. When we say that Nyeri County will have the Senator chairing the board, it will be one chair and one delegation; and so is everywhere else. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, obviously, English language is a foreign language and our levels of understanding it are quite different. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even privileges confer rights. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me say my last two points so that others can also contribute. I saw in the media that the Council of Governors (CoGs), which is chaired by a very distinguished and respected Governor for Bomet County, put up an advertisement attempting to indict this Bill. I want to ask the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget and the Public Accounts and Investments Committee (PAIC) to find out whose money they are using to fight an unjust cause. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: This money is from public funds. Nobody has the right to take public funds to take out paid advertisements costing about Kshs1 million just to defend an indefensible position both in law and fact. These Committees should look at the accounts and find out where that money is coming from. If it is being taken from the money we allocate to counties, then they have to be held to account because every shilling counts. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been seeing some situations where people are spending money as if we have some pit somewhere where we are just drawing ... view
