• 4 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Bill, as moved by the Senate Majority Leader. I acknowledge, as the Chairman of the Committee on Roads and Transportation, that my Committee sat and deliberated on this Bill. We considered the Bill and invited – through public notice and advertisements in newspapers – members of the public to come and air their views for consideration by the Committee. In response to the invitations, we received information and submissions from the Council of Governors (CoGs) and the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. We also received submissions from ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee of the Whole in the said report. view
• 21 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that The Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2018) be now read a Third Time. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the expression at the termination of that debate by my honourable colleague is testimony enough that three minutes is not enough to discuss a thing as sweet as sugar gone sour. I want to confess that I had a cup of tea earlier in the day, just before lunch, and I feel some twitches in my stomach. I do not know whether it could be mercury, iron or whatever it is. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: I want to support the discussions and the two statements brought by my colleagues here. This is the time to escalate this discussion to a national level and at a policy level. I say this because the whole agricultural sector is under capture by the so called cartels. The last two weeks were dominated permanently by the debate on cartels that had bankrupted the entire section of maize farmers. The Cabinet Secretary was in the National Assembly saying that a few individuals, who are in that cartel, were paid more than three quarters of money that was set aside to ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for the House and there is freedom to speak. Any Member can say any point but they need to support their argument. However, it is important that we be orderly and respect the rules of debate and also the Standing Orders of this House. A Member can only be allowed to do that by giving evidence but in the absence of that, he should withdraw and apologise. If he has facts, he can bring them at the right time. I think it is preposterous to--- view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I largely concur with the last part of what the Senate Minority Leader has said. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: I agree with the last part of what the Senate Minority Leader has said but to be factual, when the Senator was speaking, he said – and the Hansard is available – that I hear that Mr. so and so is connected---. The latitude that we enjoy as MPs does not include speculation to that extent. The point is that if such a statement is to be made by a Member here, then he has the obligation to substantiate according to our Standing Orders. Those are our Standing Orders and we cannot look for a shortcut. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 142, I beg to move that the Committee of the Whole report progress on its consideration of the The Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2018) and seek leave to sit again tomorrow. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee on the said Report. view
