• 28 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the directions that you have given. I may be wrong in my thinking, but I seek your guidance. In view of the communication that you have given and on the threshold that is required to either agree or refuse the reservation, I kindly request that you revise your direction for us to do this tomorrow until we can obtain the two-thirds because we do not even have the normal threshold. Although you said that the reservations on the Bills that go through to the President is part of legislation, the fact is that if ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I derive a lot of fun in legislation making. Although you have asked me to move this objection or seek directions tomorrow, since the Deputy Majority Leader who is responsible for the majority side is here, maybe, you should also issue a further direction to the Whips who are watching you, some of whom are in a meeting on the impeachment of the Governor for Murang’a, so that we do not get into the history books for having not passed a memorandum of His Excellency the President because we did not have quorum. Thank you for ... view
• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had pressed the button for the Bill, not as a point of order. view

• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you, for the opportunity. I rise to support the Office of the County-Attorney Bill, (Senate Bill No. 37 of 2014). The Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, through Sen. Wako, has conducted public hearings on this Bill. It has been received with a lot of enthusiasm at the governors’ level, the county assembly level and other organs of the county. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in drafting the County Governments Act, there appears to have been a lacuna in Section 43 which suggests that the counties can seek the assistance of the Attorney- General when they require ... view
• 27 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this amendment. Allow me to congratulate Sen. Musila, who we have walked with through this journey since 2004. Allow me also to revisit its history because I remember it very well. We had filed a court case. However, the then President Mwai Kibaki was clever enough at that time to issue an order waiving all rates for students and somehow stole the thunder from Sen. Musila and the matter that we were fighting with the Attorney-General was spent. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have this experience because I have attempted to get ... view

• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I concur with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. The minute we discovered that the National Assembly had plagiarised our Bill and brought their Bill here, the Speaker agreed to remove it from the Order Paper. To then send a Committee from the Senate on a mediation of a Bill which they plagiarised is the contradiction and dilemma that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and myself are in. That is the sort of direction that you ought to give us so that we do not appear as if our Bill was taken away by the National ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they say that facts are very stubborn animals. Almost 65 per cent of Kenyans are eligible to vote. This translates to roughly 26 million yet registered voters are 14 million. That means that the balance does not have identity cards. They have been discriminated. As Sen. Karaba said, when someone is born, he is issued with a birth certificate. When he dies, his next of kin are given his death certificate. When they leave school, they receive a school certificate. When they get married, they receive a marriage certificate. However, when they are 18 years of ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 45(2) (b), I rise to seek the following Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Energy regarding the oil spillage into River Thange in Makueni County. In the Statement, the Chairperson should state the following:- (1) The date when the leakage commenced. (2) Explain the cause of the spillage. (3) State the reason the said leakage and/or spillage has not been repaired or stopped. (4) Whether the National Environment and Management Authority (NEMA) was notified of the above incident. (5) State whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) ... view
