• 22 May 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: Calm down, you are not the Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question is; as we walk out of the Chambers, since we may not be in a favourable position, at what point are we able to make our contributions from the other side? On top of the contributions, will we be able to make timely points of order from the other side? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 22 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I first wanted to talk, it was more of a point of order. However, since it takes quite a while to get here, I will make my contribution to the Motion. For the record, it is important that I correct that the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Orengo, mislead the House when he stated that when he brought a Motion back in 1996 against hon. Kaparo, he did not give any grounds or reasons for the removal. I have that HANSARD here and it is clear that he gave grounds. So, it is a travesty. It is ... view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: We are moving forward with the removal of the Deputy Speaker of this House. So, it is imperative that the Motion that we have here today by the Senator for Murang’a should have the grounds for removal. As I stated earlier, when hon. Orengo moved his Motion to remove hon. Kaparo, he stated in the Motion that the rulings hon. Kaparo had made were in err. So, it is improper to bring a Motion seeking to remove the Deputy Speaker without any grounds. I needed that for the record because we have become a useless House, if I may use ... view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: Okay, let me rephrase it. We have become a House that is controlled from other areas or places. The most unfortunate thing is that when I was growing up, some of the Senators I looked up to, who were defenders of human rights and other things in this country, are now the ones presiding over or helping to move this madness forward by seeking removal of a very competent Deputy Speaker without any reasons. Anyway, I am sure you will do whatever you will do. You will vote whichever way you will vote because you hold brief for whoever you ... view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: No, I cannot sit; you said that I cannot sit in a place where it is not indicated, ‘Sit’. view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, anyway, as we leave here today, whatever the decision that we shall make as a House, I oppose this Motion. Let me say as I walk away, that Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki has served this House with distinction; he is a man of honor in a House that does not value that. He is a man who is extremely competent and I am sure that we shall not be able to see that as we move forward. Nevertheless, that is okay; that is the decision that we shall have to make here today. view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: One minute, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was interrupted with the many points of order. So, this is a Motion that is quite vile and dishonorable. I hope that in future, we can focus on fighting the Corona Virus (Covid-19) pandemic and the poverty that is in our country, instead of hiding behind the Corona Virus (Covid-19) pandemic to use dictatorship to remove people from office. I oppose this Motion. Thank you. view
