• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been trying to catch your eye in vain; I am happy to have finally done so. We are being asked to vote. We are making a sacrifice, yet we are being denied the opportunity to express our views. I personally feel constrained to sit here and vote without expressing my views. I plead with you, in view of my right for which I was elected to express myself, kindly allow those who want to express themselves to do so. Those who do not want to express themselves may listen to us. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if you push that we be brief, we will lose our comments. We tried to plead with the previous Speaker to give us time, and it was declined. I, therefore, plead with you to allow me or anybody else as much allowable time to speak freely without being intimidated by our own leadership. Madam Temporary Speaker, I voted ‘no’ in this matter. I say openly that I voted ‘no,’ and it is not that I did not want money to go to counties. However, I am disappointed at the way we are conducting ourselves. We have been ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I plead that in future, we should not be afraid of being seen to stand for what we believe in. We should not want to appear to be correct all the time. This idea of correctness all the time is what will kill this House. Unfortunately, we are like a girl who has been raped, and she is not given an opportunity to mourn and heal. She is being asked to agree to be raped again; this is a sad and disappointing situation. I, therefore, plead with our leadership to do what the Speaker of the House ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am sorry for using that unfortunate example. However, I also feel like a man who has been raped, and is pleading to be raped again. Men also get raped nowadays, and raping men is a little more painful than raping other people. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Speaker of the House of Commons, hon. Bercow, takes pride in having been elected as the Speaker many times. He says that his mandate is to allow as many Members of the House of Commons to debate as much as possible. He encourages Members of the back bench ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you heard Sen. Sakaja casting aspersions on Members of the Senate and the National Assembly for earning salaries. He gave an impression that it was wrong for us to earn salaries – which is our constitutional and industrial entitlement – when devolved units were not getting their salaries. Is it in order for him to criminalize the fact that we were earning our salaries, the President was earning his salary and the Members of the National Assembly were doing the same? Is it in order to concede and continue conceding even when you should not concede? view

• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a point of order to my very good learned colleague and my Whip, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. You heard him say that he does not know how to go for mediation when the other side is abusive and arrogant. You know that these mediations are a constitutional---. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, he said that he does not know how to do mediation and abuse people, but he gave the impression that such kind of climate is very difficult for him to participate in. Mediation is a constitutional and statutory duty. Is it in order for the Whip, who is a leader and we respect him very much, to show that he is giving up when the other side is intending to continue being abusive? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Even in future mediations, the other side will be very abusive, condescending in their remarks and very vitriolic. Would I be in order to ask him to confirm whether all of us should give up and say that if we are abused we should just say “yes” and thank them? Like Jesus said, we turn the other cheek. view
