• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When I look at the law as was done by the Committee Chaired by Sen. Orengo and Sen. Kiraitu, I do not see any contradiction at all that requires this amendment. In any case, Section 44 (5) states clearly that:- “The Commission shall for purposes of this Section and in consultations with relevant agencies, institutions and stakeholders, including political parties, make regulations for the implementation of this Section, and in particular providing for:- (b) testing and certification of the system; (c) mechanisms for the conduct of a system of audit; (d) data storage and ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will ignore that unnecessary point of order and proceed to what I was saying. Sen. Orengo and I went to the same high school. Sen. Kajwang also did go to the same high school. I do not see any other person in this House who went to that school; the Alliance High School--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, also went to Alliance High School. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, why do I say so? I would like to make a very simple point--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the bullfighter, was patient enough to wait for the point I was going to make. He is presuming that I was going to speak about what he has spoken about but I was not going to do so. If you remember well in the play Othello, Othello was a moor and a very good soldier. He fell in love with a lovely girl called Desdemona, the daughter of an old man called Brabantio. Brabantio was very angry that a black man was falling in love with his daughter. He, therefore, marshalled some ... view

• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order to assert at this moment, because that letter relates to this moment, that Sen. Obure is still carrying the responsibility of the delegation from Kisii when Sen. Billow has said that he has announced and abandoned the mandate he was given by the Kisii people on the ODM Party and has joined Jubilee? Constitutionally, is he still responsible for that delegation? Secondly, Sen. Ongoro has said that we need to identify the credentials for Sen. Onchwangi. Is he a registered voter in Nairobi? Does he carry the responsibility ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. The amendment that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is proposing to this particular amendment is very important. My point of order regards the contradiction between the words “notwithstanding” and “complementary.” The word “notwithstanding” negates the previous law because it means “in spite of.” For example, notwithstanding the evidence, the consensus that the jury will not reach The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, let me now rise properly and in line with procedure. Right from the time that I received this amendment, I have agonized. Why the drafters of this amendment, after it had been carefully crafted by the original select Committee, why they introduced this word “notwithstanding”; thinking that by using that word they are complementing the original law. That is why they went ahead to use the word, a complementary mechanism for identification. This amendment is not complementing the original law. It is negating the original law. It is overthrowing the original law. In English, in meaning and ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Is it in order for my dear friend, Sen. Kagwe to say that the bad faith is only from this side and that we should exercise good faith and believe him that when we pass the Bill into law, he will maintain good faith when he does not believe that good faith comes from this side? The thing is mutual. If indeed, you are saying that we do it in good faith, you should not at the same time, be expressing yourself and saying, there is no good faith. Then, how do ... view
