  • 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did you hear Sen. (Dr.) Zani indicate that the Jubilee Coalition has refused to engage through dialogue? The true position is that the Jubilee Coalition believes in dialogue and that we have all along been willing to dialogue. The only position that we took was that the dialogue needs to be within the legal framework provided by the Constitution. Is Sen. (Dr.) Zani professing that dialogue only means dialogue outside the Constitution and that dialogue within the structures provided in the Constitution is not considered by the other side of the ... view
  • 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I respect the Professor, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, and agree with her when she says that the issue of IEBC is a straight forward matter. However, every aspect on how to deal with the IEBC issues is clearly provided for in the Constitution. This includes how to constitute, reconstitute, disband and hand issues of IEBC. This is the position we have all stood for on our side of the Coalition. Is she in order to purport sharing that information with me when it is actually her side of the Coalition that needs ... view
  • 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You directed that the Senator for Kakamega substantiates the specific assertion that ‘Issack Hassan is a thief’ and not that ‘he is not a man of integrity.’ The Senator for Kakamega has just tabled a document of the PAC of the National Assembly. He has not pointed out specifically to the issue that speaks to Mr. Issack Hassan being a thief. He has to substantiate by saying what it is that he stole and from whom. I am aware of many Members of this House, from either side of the House, who ... view
  • 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is taking the Senators through, we must be careful. This is because a lot has been said even about the Members in this House. If you lower the threshold by calling people thieves like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is saying, then even for the very Senator, there was an allegation of some Kshs12 million getting into his account that could not be explained. We could not call him a thief of Kshs12 million because we knew those were allegations. A lot of things have been said, ... view
  • 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate that I really would not have wanted to interrupt. However, when the Senator says the Jubilee side unleashed a team of 20 youth, we are the Jubilee Side and I am a Member of the Jubilee side. Therefore, he needs to be specific because that would help. Some of us have never organised a team of 20 or even 10 or even one youth to attack people. Therefore, he should be specific because in this House, we are Members of the Jubilee side and I am The electronic version of ... view
  • 8 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in saying that the Office of the Clerk should be able to help. I am aware that two petitioners from my county presented a petition to the Senate and they were told that the format they used was not correct and they were assisted in correcting the mistakes including the format. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on several occasions, you have committed petitions to my Committee, the Senate Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, and our duty in some of those situations has been advising the petitioners the approach and areas that ... view

  • 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Hon. Senators, there is one Division that we did not take at the Committee of the Whole. I, therefore, direct that we go into the Committee of the Whole to take that Division before we proceed with the next Orders. view
