• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have taken note of the Senators’ contributions and I thank them for the great interest that they have had in this Motion. I am going to ask the Secretariat to extract the HANSARD proceedings so that we can forward it to the Committee. I want to assure the Senators that we already have a draft Bill on the way. Therefore, we will most likely come back sooner than the 90 days. I also want to request the leadership that once we are done, we can have a retreat or a session where we ... view

• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Moi was courteous enough to inform me in advance. Therefore, I have accepted to indulge him until they are ready on Tuesday, next week. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement, pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b), from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources regarding pollution of Athi River in Machakos and Makueni counties. In the Statement, the Chairperson should state the following:- (1) Whether the Government is aware that there is disposal of effluence into Athi River in Machakos and Makueni counties.

• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If I understood Sen. Bule correctly, he stated that, in fact, corruption begins from this House. That statement needs to be clarified. He has also mentioned two Committees; the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget and the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee; attributing corruption to them. It would be in order, even if he was making a personal statement, to clarify that he did not mean that any of the Committees are involved in corruption. It is a serious allegation. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to echo the sentiments of Sen. Wetangula, Article 119 read with Standing Order No.219 are clear that any person can petition Parliament. But my own view is that the interpretation that we should give to Article 119 is the one contained in Article 259 (1) (d) which reads:- “This Constitution shall be interpreted in a manner that contributes to good governance.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget has even appointed a sub-committee on petitions, because we realize that the only way that this Senate can become effective is not by the number ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at the back of this Report is an affidavit of a gentleman whom we should credit. His name is Mr. Nyakina Wycliffe Gisebe. This gentleman put his phone number and swore an affidavit that runs up to 41 paragraphs highlighting various reasons why Mr. Boinett should not be appointed to the position of IG. I am disappointed by the Committee. I am one of those people who will not congratulate them. Under Article 125, this Committee was supposed to act like a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my senior, the Senator for Murang’a County is out of order. I do not think that he has read this document carefully. This document points to matters of facts, seniority and appointment--- view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The correct procedure when you are acting as a court, and the Committee was acting as the High Court under Article 125, is that you do not sit and consider it yourself, you call the person. To that extent alone, the Committee has possibly brought some discredit to the Senate by just considering it in a room instead of calling this person who had the audacity to write statements and things that not every ordinary Kenyan would write. To that extent alone, we have let down that Kenyan. view
