• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in thanking you for that ruling. On several occasions in this House, when you have made such an important ruling, it is published for public consumption in our dailies.

• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you have already directed that the Chairperson invites the Cabinet Secretary, sometimes as chairpersons of committees, we have the challenges of securing the attendance of the Cabinet Secretaries, but we also ought to be assisted by the leadership, especially from the Majority side. Therefore as you direct the Chairperson, could you also then extend the same direction to the Senate Majority Leader or the Deputy Majority Leader and the Whip to ensure that Cabinet Secretaries appear in the House when we need them? view

The second issue related to the consultations between the Senate, the Ministry and the Tobacco Control Board. I want to share this with ... view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, we just need some clarification on the concerns being raised. I thought the issue raised by Sen. Obure was that he wanted me to confirm whether we consulted with the Ministry and the industry players. That is what I understood but I did not get any request from him in terms of whether to stop or proceed. Regarding the issue of Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., the process of considering regulations is captured under the Standing Orders.

• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I share your sentiments that this is one of the very crucial Bills which seek to give us the opportunity to protect the interests of counties. We can do so if we ensure that we have strong systems, structures and accountability institutions at the county level. I thank Members who have contributed to this Bill.
