• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mine was a contribution, not necessarily a point of order. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my position is that I am agreeing with most of the views that have been aired here by my colleagues. One, I have expressed my concern, that in the process of charging a governor or any other person, that can be undertaken. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the question of whether a vacancy should be assumed by the fact that a court order has been given, and then that is predicated to mean then that the effect of when a vacancy has occurred should be assumed; my answer is that, I do not think that is ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, I want to undertake and assure, not only Sen. Seneta but all Members of this House that my Committee takes, with absolute seriousness, every Statement sought by Members here on various issues. Notwithstanding that sometimes we also have to pick up fights with the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development.

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the conversation on the Floor now confirms that we have a better dispensation if CSs are coming before this House. If I was a CS, I would have been answering those questions with follow-up action. I want to state that, indeed, the Committee takes business seriously.

We have no business trying to protect a CS. That is why ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to conclude by, first, stating that my Committee is not helpless; and that is on record. Last week, we visited Mombasa on the issue of the ferries, and the Ministry has today issued an order that Kshs2.1 billion has now been allocated to procure new ferries. It is there on record. That is courtesy of the view
