• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am seeking a clarification, but allow me to cite an example. There is a very famous land case which the Supreme Court of India decided that the right to life incudes the right to live with dignity. The people who are out there are not living with dignity. Even before the underlying issue is addressed, I thought that there would be a statement to confirm what they will do in mitigation. It is atrocious for people to camp outside Parliament and sleep on cartoons. It is even worse that a lady delivered there. That is ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am seeking a clarification. We cannot just leave the matter hanging as it is. This is because the Statement is ambiguous. I would have thought that the question of the plight of the returnees--- view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: There are two issues. The question of sorting, I would think that even the sorting of whether some are split families, if somebody had sat even with a desk out there, it would have been sorted. It is a question of the humanitarian issue – the fact that somebody is sleeping in the cold covering themselves with cartons, they have young children and have no toilets. That is not something that can wait for us to come back after the recess. If these people were taken to the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) grounds, they would be better off because ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am extremely frustrated and I am glad that my brother, Sen. Hassan who is the champion of human rights has walked in because we need a date and a time when these Kenyans – even if they are not Kenyans – nobody deserves that. 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
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have debated this before. Just for the avoidance of doubt, the position of the Senate Minority Leader is not delegated to him by the Senate Majority Leader. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the Standing Order No.45(2)(c) is that it is only in the absence of both that another person, which includes Sen. Murkomen’s capacity as Senate Deputy Majority Leader, is designated specifically. He cannot be a shadow for purposes of this Standing Order. You have directed this before, but for better clarity, provided the Senate Minority Leader is in the The electronic version of the Senate ... view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an important point. Standing Order No.19 is not applicable because in all places where there is a deputy - in the absence of the substantive chair, whether it is the Speaker, the President or a governor, then the deputy will perform functions in acting capacity. However, Sen. Murkomen wants to imply that in the absence of the President, then Deputy President becomes the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. That is not possible. That argument is what we call a circumlocutory argument and it is not applicable. view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It will be in the great interest of this Senate to use this opportunity created by Sen. Haji to prepare a Motion for resolution of this House for the recognition of the Makonde Community under the Citizenship Act. That would be a resolution that this House can follow through. I am prepared to move such a Motion because then we can enforce it. The unfortunate thing about Kenya is that we recognise the people we should not recognise and the people we should recognise we ignore. Kenyans would find it easier to become Australians because ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, through you, I am representing the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in presentation of a paper on how women can participate in elections, free from violence and intimidation. As a special rapporteur on behalf of the Kenya Senate, I will seek to know whether we can have a resolution passed in Geneva on the situation in South Sudan because the IPU where you occupy a privileged position can intervene in the crisis in South Sudan. As we welcome them, I hope that one of our deliberations is how we can help the women and children who are the victims ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, give us seven days although the question on certain banks is not clear. Maybe the question should have been which banks have complied. “Certain banks” is ambiguous. I do not know whether anybody would know which banks they are unless they are specified. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was wondering at some point why the Senate Deputy Majority Leader is arguing the opposite because he almost made a case on why we should not go on recess. view
