  • 26 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. We will invoke all the necessary and available constitutional provisions and any supporting legislation. I will also invoked my senior status in the Jubilee side of Government to ensure that we have a statement in the shortest time possible that addresses all those issues. view
  • 21 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Further to your guidance, you quoted Standing Order No.43. The title says, Messages from County Governors. If you read from part one to six, it talks of a governor. However, the Message we have from Sen. Hassan is from the Council of Governors. Does your direction, in this case, mean that a “governor” also means “Council of Governors” or is it a petition from the specific Governor who signed it? view
  • 21 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating members of the public from Wajir County. We will continue receiving many of these petitions and this is an indication that we need to relook at the capacity of our county assemblies. We know that the first institution to carry out oversight over county governments is the county assemblies. It is therefore the responsibility of the Senate---I must congratulate the Senate for having taken time, over and over again, to support the county assemblies in enhancing their capacity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a Motion will come to this Senate for ... view

  • 20 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek a clarification. The Senator for Trans Nzoia approached the Table and purported to have laid a Paper. That was before the Order on Papers Laid was called out by the Clerk-at-the-Table. I am seeking clarification on whether he was laying a paper or presenting a petition. That did not come out clearly. view
  • 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek a few clarifications from the Chairman. First, could he clarify that, indeed, the Government, in its attempts to secure all parts of this country especially that region, is receiving the necessary cooperation from the political leaders in that region? He should also confirm whether leaders from the region who gave a promise to share the names of some of the people cooperating with terrorists have shared the details. As the Government continues with the agenda of securing Kenyans, are political leaders in the region cooperating? view
  • 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that the Order Paper says “shall” and that is what we are moving. view
  • 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I support this amendment. The Security sector in this country takes a huge chunk of the national budget and I think it is important that whereas we are careful not to compromise the security of this country, we should not leave room for mischief in terms of misuse of public resources. If there is somebody who should help us deal with misuse of resources within this sector, it should be the Auditor-General. Therefore, when I look at the amendment, I do not think it compromises the security of this country but only helps us to ensure ... view
  • 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, for the record, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and I, will be moving the amendments on behalf of the Mover. view
  • 20 May 2015 in Senate: I will move some and then I will hand over to Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. view
