• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Sorry, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. First, I thank all the colleagues who have contributed to the Motion. I particularly thank Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o, my friend and former teacher for teaching me good manners so that I did not want to tell him anything. I just looked at the watch and he got the message. The contributions have been very effective. Clearly, there is a passion and interest in this House for ICT. We hope that we can infuse the county governments and legislatures so that the enthusiasm runs across the country. Those of us who will eventually be governors ... view
• 14 Sep 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. May I say from the onset that I am proud of being a Senator and I could not have been prouder than today to see the expression of Members and the honesty with which it is expressed. I feel that it is a historic occasion. 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
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to talk about 47 vans that have been bought by Jubilee when, this morning, the radio is reporting that Governor Hassan Joho is launching and flagging off 47 buses, limousines and 800 other combined forces of vehicles that are going all round the country for Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD)? Is he in order? view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was just wondering, in view of the urgency with which the honourable Senator feels like singing, would I be in order to propose that you allow him to sing the song in English? view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for such an informed ruling. However, we have grown to expect from you no less than rulings that will be referred to in the future. For me, there are only two things. First, I think it is important for us to understand the difference in etiquette between a normal sitting of the House and that of a quasi-judicial House. I have chaired an impeachment Committee, and I am aware of the time that sometimes it takes. Sometimes, we would sit all the way to midnight and so on even though the report was eventually rejected ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Whereas I agree, I pray that words from Sen. Wetangula’s mouth land to God’s ears, that my wallet may be as full. As he prays for that, is he in order to propose that I actually commit electoral offences by the definition of this law? view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wanted to propose and this would not apply to Sen. Orengo, given his work on this Bill and so on. I want to propose, given the time and the fact that we do want to get ahead with passing this Bill, we know Sen. Orengo has done a good job of negotiating this Bill and if he has read it, then we have also read it. I wanted to propose that we limit the contributions to a maximum of five minutes. Since I am going to be a contributor, I ... view
• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill. I will only mention two things. The first has to do with what Sen. Wako referred to and the use of technology raised in this Bill. The Committee on Information and Technology has published the Cyber Security and Protection Bill. It will come to this House soon. It is related to some of the offences that are now contained in this Bill. In the past, technology has been used negatively to rig rather than support. I think that the electoral body must now begin to use technology positively so that ... view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I start by referring to the matter that was raised by the Senate Minority Leader and alluded to by the Senate Majority Leader as well. My job as Senator is very clearly defined in the Constitution. It is unfortunate that the county I represent is the subject of debate here today. It would have been better had we never gotten to this stage. However, it is what it is now. My major role, before and after, the decision that will be taken by this House will be to unify the county. As for individuals who may want ... view
