• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the jab has already landed. I can see it is working. I withdraw the jab. I beg the House that we go the route of a Committee that will enable us to interrogate the facts and interview witnesses. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale will bear me witness that the last time we were in this similar committee, the witnesses would take oath there and you would subject them to cross- examination. The people who have experience with Plenary, such as Sen. Olekina - unless he was misleading me - has told me of a different story when it comes ... view
• 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I second this Motion and hope that our colleagues will adopt the same and proceed in that particular fashion. I thank you. view

This is because what our colleague Senator is saying is that there is a desired result. If you go the same way, you will get the same results as the last time and that result was not desirable.

So, he is out of order. I would wish that you would rule on that particular objection. view

• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to lend my understanding of that Standing Order before you make your decision. In my reading of Standing Order No.55, what is not admissible are extracts and quotations. Those are two very clear things. For instance, I cannot take the version of the Daily Nation Newspaper today and copy-paste something that has been written there. That is an extract or a quotation. However, if you are relying on a report that is in the media that is not the same as a quotation or indeed an extract. So, we need ... view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, regarding the status of the ownership of the land of Tom Mboya Social Hall in Makadara Constituency.
