  • 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me stand on a point of order. view
  • 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I seek your directions because if an unsubstantiated allegation is made against myself, you asked me to respond to a particular statement by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on the issue of whether I said they were misleading. You did not give me an opportunity to respond to the issue that was raised against my person. If you make a ruling, what is the fate of the allegation that has been said about me? view
  • 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have a very heavy heart as you expect me to proceed with my presentation after such serious allegations have been made against my person. I am a law abiding citizen. I am a leader. It is really unfair – I cannot challenge your ruling - for a senior Member of this House like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to make such an allegation against my person? It is unfair that the matter can be put to a close in such a manner. However, be that as it may--- view
  • 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for the position you have taken. As hon. Members of this House, it is important that we are measured using the statements that we make against each other. We are colleagues and need to engage peacefully as Members of one House.

  • 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: That was raised here, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Therefore, in concluding my contribution in support of this Bill, I made it clear that this is a step in the right direction. I believe that if we have to secure the powers and privileges of the MCAs, this may not necessarily be done in a Constitution; but this can adequately be catered for through an Act of Parliament like in the Bill that we are discussing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to tell the MCAs that as the Senate, whose responsibility is to protect the interest of our counties, we ... view

  • 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: On a point of Order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Would I be in order to request the Senator to break this down to a language that we can understand? She has gone very scientific. I am unable to pick the gist of her presentation, especially the one on harvesting something and fertilization. view
  • 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: It is a bit complicated for some of us. view
  • 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the harvesting element and the fertilising process is a bit complex. Some of us are just lawyers. She may be better placed because she has done a lot of science. However, the element of harvesting eggs and where it is done is something she needs to explain and give us the exact provisions she is proposing. view
