  • 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: There is even no provision to thank him. The Statement has been presented and tabled and that is it. You are a believer in parliamentary practice and precedent. Therefore, I hope you have no intentions of creating one in your sunset days in this House. view
  • 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you are completely out of order! view

  • 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is very interesting and it might help us shed some light on some of the ambitions the Senator has. When he declared that he was running for the presidency, against all odds we wondered what was happening to him. Could he confirm that he might have partaken of this particular obnoxious substance before he made the announcement and that this could have influenced his decision on the kind of ambition he seems to harbor? view
  • 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45 (2) (b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Devolved Government concerning the plight and welfare of former Councillors under Kenya’s defunct local authorities.

  • 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this will be the first time a Bill is being presented for First Reading and it is stood down. We have had one such Bill in this House. We have had very protracted discussions about pensions.
