We have worked very well and I will find time, when we debate the Papers that I have ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Sang in order to bring to the attention of the House issues which have been investigated, heard in court and disposed off as if they are still pending before the legal and proper institutions in this country? Is he really in order to ignore the history of this country and turn a blind eye to what has happened in court and what has happened in investigations and concluded? view
• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will never abandon you. My spirit will always be here. I join my Chairman, Sen. Billow and my colleague Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Indeed the Chairman today chaired a meeting in this chamber with the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Finance, the Council of Governors, the Commissioner for Revenue Allocation and all other institutions that are concerned about this revenue allocation to the counties. We had a productive discussion and I am sure the Chairman will report this to us on Friday. The issues raised are extremely important for Senators not just those who are going ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to add to what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has requested for.

• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe somewhere in the Constitution, I am not very sure, maybe you can help me, this House or Parliament can sit anywhere in the Republic of Kenya. I believe that is constitutional. I think Parliament can sit anywhere? Can it, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.? view
• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Yes, it can. I was going to propose that if we, indeed, go for the retreat and we have the requisite numbers, can we sit as a House and pass these Bills? We should urge everybody to go to the retreat then use the retreat to sit as a House and pass these Bills because we shall have the numbers. We can move a Motion that we exploit the provisions in the Constitution and have Members sit and pass these Bills rather than waiting. view
• 21 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Speaker, Sir. I apologise for raising this point of order. It is true that three or four months are better than one or two months. Since we have so many issues to go to Division, could it be in order for me to propose that tomorrow when we come to this issue after the first five orders we move expeditiously to go to Divisions? We could also limit the time spent on Statements and other issues as much as possible. There is a tendency that earlier in the sitting Members seem to be ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I came in late. However I am a quick learner; I have caught up with what is going on. I plead with you to give me a little more than two minutes because this is my 25th year in Parliament and I have a little bit some experience to share with the House on this matter. We should not be too hard on the Senate. The Senate, over the last almost five years has done some appreciable work. The Senate has acquitted itself honorably in terms of its productivity notwithstanding the intransigent and the indifference of ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is the distinguished Senator, who is my neighbour, in order to imply that the business transacted in this House is the responsibility of both sides when we know that by parliamentary practice, it is the Government side which bids in generating business in the House? view
