• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr, Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.95 that prohibits a Senator from reading a speech which is exactly what my sister is doing. view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, welcome to Nairobi . Reading from the Motion on the Order Paper, it makes reference to Standing Order No. 110 (4). My copy of the Standing Orders has Standing Order No.111(4) as the order dealing with the limitation of debate on Motions. Do I have the wrong document? It also talks about nine calendar days and I heard the Majority Leader refer to 90 days. That is the clarification I seek. I thank you. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: My senior, Sen. Murkomen, likes to tell us that we are new people. We may be new in this Senate but we are not new to reading. It is very straightforward here. Perhaps, when you began with your communication on leadership, you started by telling us who wrote you what letter. All that Senior Counsel Sen. Omogeni is saying is, even in the communication on the Membership of this Committee, could you please as the Chairperson tell us that a letter was received from X coalition listing the following Members as its nominees in the language of Standing Order 190? ... view

• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: I do not know why you are shy to disclose who wrote which names, just the same way the leadership of the House was done. It would have helped us, as a House, to determine whether or not we are proceeding in accordance with our own rules. I do not think we are in a rush. It is better to take time to do the right thing than to appear to be in a rush. I can see Sen. Roba smiling because he is enjoying the fruits of infidelity, but we should not allow that to happen. Let us respect ... view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My point of order is that Sen. Cheruiyot cannot abrogate himself the powers under the Constitution reserved for the High Court to determine unconstitutionality of any law. It is not in his place. He should sit down. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is that it is not in the place of Sen. Cheruiyot or any of us here to determine the unconstitutionality of any law or tradition as set out under Article 2 that he is quoting for you. So, if--- view
