• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last time we had a Special Sitting, I had the privilege of being a Temporary Speaker. It was during the debate on the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill. That is the time Jubilee Coalition was merging in Kasarani, Bomas and many other places. view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: When we rose, we did not adjourn the Sitting. I was seated where you are seated today. The Mace was lowered, covered in blue. We left and came back at 2.30 p.m. In fact, I remember this correctly because Sen. Murkomen after collapsing his political party came back, attempted to speak, but I denied him the opportunity. He accused me of dictatorship. view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: The point is that the last precedent is what Senators Orengo and Dr. Khalwale are speaking to and not during the time of Sen. Elachi. In my case, I have a second issue. When I look at the Gazette Notice, today is supposed to be an extra ordinary and exceptional Sitting. We are not supposed to have Ordinary Business that we do ordinarily. Otherwise, why did we adjourn to go on holiday and come back and do the same things that we do normally? If we were to address ourselves to the words of Standing Order No.29(2), whether now or ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was wisdom when the Committee proposed that we have continuity to ensure that there is implementationof the report which was ably presented to both the National Assembly and the Senate.The devil works at night and, therefore, you see the reason why in the gap, the devil has found his way into the National Assembly and the Senate. I am glad and I want to thank you for your wisdom in leading this House into finding an amicable solution and also want to say that the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights is able and willing. ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the devil is omnipresent or as we say, he is ubiquitous. On public participation, I was hoping, if you can allow me, the last time we saw our colleagues in the National Assembly debate this matter the press was evicted. A gentleman by the name Mureithi got his videos erased. He was arrested, detained and bashed. I am glad you have mentioned that the press is invited.

• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for your direction. You should have mentioned that there is a case pending in court on this matter before we proceed to vote. However, that is not my issue. There is a pending constitutional Bill that has been omitted from the Order Paper today. I do not know the wisdom behind it because it concerns counties more than anything else. That is the one on the Equalisation Fund. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Senate has spoken loudly about this issue. The national Government is already distributing what they call projects under the Equalisation Fund because we ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table:- Report of the Standing Committee on Information, Technology on work-planning retreat held in Kilifi County from 30th August to 2nd September, 2016. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 125 is a question of interpretation as to whether the person approaches the court for violation for a fundamental right in which the High Court enjoys an unlimited jurisdiction. In the case of violation of any constitutional issue on fundamental rights, the High Court then would have jurisdiction. It is just a question of interpretation, but to the extent that the High Court can attempt to injunct the Senate under Article 125, that, in my view, would be what we call an order issued per incuriam. It means issued in ignorance of the law. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Hon. Sakaja and I, organised for the young men and women in the Gallery to come to Parliament. Hon. Sakaja as the Chairperson of the Joint Committee of National Cohesion has demonstrated that we might disagree politically as politicians, but when we sit to have a cup of tea, we share a good laughter. Thank you. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a phraseology like the one I used yesterday about the singing and birds. 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
