• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, one of the reasons why I want this clause amended is to improve industrialisation and backward linkages in the alcoholic industry. We need to promote the use of local raw materials in the manufacture of alcohol. Mr. Temporary Chairman, you know that if alcohol is not properly manufactured, it can be a poisonous substance. Therefore, it is important that scientific research be done so that when local raw material is incorporated in the manufacture of alcohol, it meets proper hygienic and international standards. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This document is called the Order Paper and obviously there must have been some order in putting (i) to (iii). If we come to this House then ignore our Order, it does not make sense. I was just appealing that let us logically follow our Order and other Orders will follow later. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We, sitting here, would not like to be oppressed by the Chair. If the Chair was reporting, she reported that we are dealing with Order No.9(i). We did not touch Order No.9(ii). We participated effectively in disposing of Order No.9(i) and we were waiting to move on to (ii) and (iii). Now to tell us that you have reported on Order No.9(i). Therefore, others have been reported on, mutatis mutandis, that should follow logic. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I hope we are not becoming a House of Pharisees because, you remember, in the Bible, Pharisees are the people who used to interpret the law so legalistically that it became unreal. What I understand is that we only postponed the voting on (i) because pragmatically when we understand that we do not have numbers, we do not proceed to vote. That has been a tradition of this House and Sen. (Eng.) Karue has said it very well. The understanding was, we shall continue with (ii) and (iii) and we shall ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. Would it be in order for me to request you not to stand down my amendment because I have already proposed it and the House by silence approved it? I think silence means consent, rather than do double work when these other amendments come, I think each amendment is a stand alone amendment and once approved by the House, there should be no other problem except voting on it. We have had occasions when we had no numbers and in that case, we deal with a Bill and postpone the vote. ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was on the Floor contributing to this very important Bill when the Senate rose to adjourn on the 12th March, 2015. The point I was making was, first of all, to thank my Chairperson, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, for chairing this ad hoc Committee, to which I belonged, very ably. The second point I was making then, just to refresh our memories, is the issue of legislation of royalties accruing from natural resources. It is an issue whose time has come because of the recent bonanza in the discovery of various minerals in this nation. While ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, arising from what the Chairman said about the settlement of IDPs, I would like him to clarify the following. He spoke of some people not having gone back. People are measured in terms of numbers. There are specific places where they were settled as IDPs. If you say that they have not gone back, how many are these people and from where? Related to the same, there were IDPs from Nyanza, particularly Kisumu, Nyamira and Kisii counties. Their numbers were known. The provincial administration had their names and they were to be given some money as compensation ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very important. When we were in the other House, the Deputy President was very vocal about the resettlement of IDPs. It is now two and half years since the Jubilee Coalition Government took power and they have not done anything. How comes he is no longer vocal about IDPs? view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Chair in order to assume that in the Mau Forest, there were no IDPs from those three counties? Mau Forest is in Kenya. These IDPs are from Kenya and these three counties are in Kenya. So, why make the assumption these people were not IDPs from Mau Forest? view
