• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to perhaps assist my Chairman in terms of the issues discussed and how we arrived at them. First, the idea was not to table a sample of the reports from the Auditor-General. The idea is to table all the reports. We said that it was possible for us to discuss specific counties on the basis of cross cutting issues that are apparent and clearly applicable to all the counties. I am following up on the question that was raised earlier regarding the capacity of Committees; it is very difficult to go through 47 huge volumes ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, perhaps your guidance and direction here might help the Senator for Bomet. It appears to me that this question should rightly actually be in the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs, because it involves the expenditure of money and not the process of devolution. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to seek your guidance in relation to the Question, but in a broader perspective. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson of the Committee under this hybrid system where the Chairperson of a Committee is an “oversighter” and a responder as Government is beginning to be a bit of a problem, in the sense that you have just heard the Chairperson of that Committee say what was said by the Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question on this point is; what happens when a Chairperson gets a response ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is just that I know there is a gentleman who is complaining on the other side, but he happens to have joined the Opposition for now. Consequently, he will speak when the Opposition time comes. Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is just appropriate that I got this opportunity at a time when Sen. Orengo, my friend, has indicated indeed the spirit with which we should consider my friend, Sen. Wetangula, and my other friend, Sen. Mong’are. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very surprised that the hon. Senator actually took only one side of what I intended because I am aware that the hon. Senator is my muthoniwa and I will never in my wildest dreams insult the man. All I was saying is that--- view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do sympathize and indeed do apologize if the honourable lady did not catch the word. If you look at the English Oxford Dictionary, you will find the word safari, it is now an English word. You will even find that muthoniwa is now an English word. If you are playing “ scrumble” and you use the name muthoniwa, I guarantee it will pass. It means that I respect the man as an in-law. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know there is something called a bus and something else called a “ mbus” . You will therefore agree with me that if you can call a bus a mbus, it is quite clear that you might not have had the intonation clearly. There is even something in this House called Gavanaa . view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: So, we have many different ways of describing this thing. Having said that, to dispense with Sen. Murkomen’s issue--- view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Indeed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
