• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Mediation team led by Sen. Kivuti. This is one of the interesting Bills that this House rejected almost every clause. Therefore, it is important that through the mediation process we now have an agreed version of the Bill. I want to believe that even as we move forward, we will have many situations where Bills will be referred to mediation because of the various perspectives that we have in terms of looking at Bills. I want to encourage that once we have a Bill of this nature ... view

• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is exciting because this process of mediation takes the centre stage.

• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this challenge could have been surmounted a little bit by the Chair in his moving remarks. He should have given us some of these details.

I would like to persuade them that for whatever reasons or however much they have issues with their school administration, they should desist from burning schools. In the next one hour or so, this House will be expressing itself specifically to the issue of the menace that is gaining currency in this country where schools are being burnt. I ask those girls to spend more time in school working hard to be better persons in the future. They should avoid this menace of ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Looking at Standing Order No.155 on the consideration of a report of the mediation, I want to seek your guidance because when the Motion was moved by the Chair--- Standing Order No.155 (1) states that:- “The report of a Mediation Committee on the Bill prepared in terms of Article 113 of the Constitution shall be laid on the Table of the Senate by a Senator who is a member of the Mediation Committee authorized by the Committee in that behalf.” That was done this afternoon. Standing Order No.155 (3) states that:- ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Thank you for the directions that you have given us specifically on the three motions on the mediation reports. However, looking at the Motion that we have just deferred which was that the House adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee and it does not indicate that it is the Mediation Report together with the agreed version of the Bill, would I request that--- view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the presumption that you have given this House is that each of those reports will have an accompanying agreed version of the Bill. view
