• 26 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I learnt of the death of Madam Lucy with shock. I was aware she was unwell and had gone to England for check-up. However, it did not seem to me like it was a very serious matter. I wish to send my sincere condolences to former President Kibaki. Madam Lucy was well known in this country as a woman of substance who did things for the nation. Besides her being the First Lady at the time, she was also a leader in her own right. I have personally spent time with her in fundraising functions, particularly ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to get a clarification from the Chairperson touching on something that he said. It is very important that as we ask and respond to the questions regarding the NBK, to be very careful not to put it in a situation where customers can begin to make a run for their money. That would be adding insult to injury in our current financial situation. I would like the Chairman to give this House an assurance that in spite of the problems that might be at NBK, it is stable, clear and nowhere near having ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I respect my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale very much.

• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when you read the Standing Orders, you rightly indicated that it is subject to several things, including the fact that it can be heard in camera. However, I do not recall - and I could be wrong somebody can correct me - in the history of this country where the loan book was asked for in Parliament. I have never heard of that. We are creating a very dangerous situation. It is possible that today, those people with loan books, those transacting at the National Bank of Kenya (NBK) and those who want to apply for ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to commend the Mediation Team for a job well done. The process of mediation – I happen to have had the privilege of chairing two of them – is something that we should get used to. The future of the relationship of the National Assembly and the Senate will involve mediations. I think it is important for us to develop mediating tactics and methods. In fact, the Senate should spend a bit of money or time just in taking Senators through mediation. This is because many of them think that mediation is combat. ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., who is knowledgeable in law, to propose to know which trees are good and which ones are not? The blue gum tree is an effective tree in cleaning up some of the areas that have got environmental challenges, like terrible swamps. In fact, the blue gum tree grows extensively in Australia, which is a highly forested country. It has also been known to grow in areas where other trees cannot grow because it fetches its own water. While I agree that there ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to assure my colleague that, in fact, I have absolutely no problem with any form of debate? Indeed, I have a very short fuse on matters that he has raised. My only concern was the accusation that I defend anything that might be corrupt or engage in corrupt practices. view

• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the statement was not withdrawn and I have not finished. A withdrawal was made but no apology was made by my friend who is also a lieutenant of the Hon. Raila Odinga in the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) Administration. view
