• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that the Committee of the Whole has considered The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.37 of 2016) and its approval thereof without amendments. view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I arise to oppose this motion since, from the onset we have had the opportunity to try to the Committee way. I have had the opportunity to sit in two of the previous impeachment committees. It is important for us to try all the provisions of our Constitution, the provisions of the County Governments Act and also the provisions of the Standing Orders. Therefore, this time round, let us go the Plenary way and try the Governor in this House and conclude that matter. However, I want to raise a concern over the behaviour by the Members ... view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have been a resident of this town for quite a while now and I understand the topography around Pangani but I have not seen a Eurobond Towers. Could the Senator confirm which tower he is talking about? view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have had many Bills in this House. We have always voted ‘Yes’ in a number of Bills. Today, my intention was to vote otherwise, but I got confused and voted ‘Yes’. I have been trying to change my vote to ‘No.’ Is it possible to change? view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for avoidance of doubt, I voted “No”. view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I later realised that the voting machines that are provided in the House allow a window to confirm the vote. When I confirmed my “No” vote, the system picked it. It can be confirmed from the print out. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I confirm. I am on a point of order. Last week when Members of the National Assembly passed the various electoral laws, there was a wide misconception by members of the fourth estate that the Bills had been passed and that they were awaiting presidential assent. Some of these misconceptions could be taken out of hand especially with regard to the vote that we have just taken this afternoon. Will I be in order to ask the Chair to make a brief Communication as to the impact of what we have done today? This being an important ... view
• 5 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important Motion. The role of the Senate as captured in the Constitution is to protect devolution and to serve the interests of counties. It is sad that today, whereas any other responsibility given to this House in terms of legislation and oversight has been challenged, nobody has challenged the responsibility of this House in ensuring that counties have resources. This is one of those responsibilities that everybody in the country appreciates. It is unfortunate that when we are faced with this specific mandate, we start raising sideshows. It is saddening to ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, clearly everybody can now agree that surely the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination is not taking its job seriously. I share in the frustration of the Vice Chairperson. If one is a Chairperson or a Vice-Chairperson of a committee and has a Ministry that is not responsive, there is little one can do. However, there are still avenues provided for by the Constitution. I expect the Vice Chairperson to be telling this House that they have invoked Article 125 of the Constitution or they are bringing a Motion to censure the Minister. If the Committee has ... view
