• 8 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. If anybody in this country had doubts that the fight against corruption is real, there is no doubt. Somebody today asked whether the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) have added another agenda to Agenda Four (b) which is corruption. The work we are doing is important. Let me just say what the Chairman has not said in a very quick statement: We have actually learnt a lot in the process of interrogating this matter. Even the amount of money we gave the Kenya Revenue Authority has got a ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been concerned for the last 10 minutes after that Petition was read. I am concerned because of the threshold that we have used as the Senate for admitting petitions. We are now dealing with a private transaction. My office has about 1,000 of them. The Senate has admitted one. That precedent is wrong, in my view. If we get into private ownership transactions, we will turn ourselves into a court of law or village elders. This is a matter we should not get ourselves into. The Senate should deal with public matters where we do ... view

• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am very curious, maybe you can direct us. My good friend, the Chairman, is moving his Motion from this side of the House. We actually do not mind adopting him from this side of the House because he is a good gentleman and a good lawyer. However, is it right, under the Standing Orders and is it plausible that a Member can move a Motion from either side of the House? That is something that is very curious under the Standing Orders, otherwise, then Sen. Orengo should be on whichever side ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the same point, the seats in the National Assembly are clearly designated. You said that these seats are designated, but they are not. Since we are in the same Parliament, should there be that sort of designation? Sen. Seneta is saying she cannot sit where the Senate Minority Leader sits, not because it is marked, but because that is where he sits. That sort of thing would help what the good Senator was raising. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was impressed that you could rise on somebody else’s orders although unprecedented. Sen. Khaniri said that in the last 26 years, he has not seen anything of the sort. I must say that I am living in good times 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
• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. First, I would like to thank the Senators for their contributions. I have been here for a while, but I have not heard such passionate speeches. I have listened to Sen. (Rev.) Waqo, Sen. Mugo, Sen. Cherargei, Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. Halake, Sen. Olekina, Sen. Shiyonga and all the other Senators. The Bible says: “The truth shall set you free.” Unfortunately, the pain that you see in the contribution by Sen. (Rev.) Waqo does not leave; I wish it could go. Sometimes, I wish I did not see the pain that I saw in a pregnant ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been waiting anxiously. However, the point by Sen. Sakaja, if I understand it correctly, is that your ruling will have to, again, be read and signed by you. We do not anticipate that we will adjourn, so that you go and sign it. A timeline is important so that we can determine how we will conduct our business. For instance, we need to know whether the next Order will take an hour. Otherwise, the confusion, anticipation and the anxiety in the House is because you told us to come at 2.30 p.m. to give ... view
