• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With all humility, I beg for guidance from the Chair on this Motion, where we are actually discussing the appointed Senators. Is it in order, therefore, that the candidates for these appointments themselves contribute? view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if Sen. Orengo listed to me very carefully, I did humbly seek guidance from the Chair. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support the two petitions brought to the House by the Senator for Kajiado, I would like to comment that this is just a replica of very many situations throughout the country, that is, negligence of maintenance of roads and non-refund of taxes so accumulated and taken from companies to the relevant people. It is a shame that a system that is supposed to be very well audited with all the brains in the country, fails to encourage citizens of this country and indeed investors to even pay more taxes to this country.

• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, Land and Natural Resources prepares to give us a comprehensive report, could he also reassure us that the so-called Director-General of Lands, a position that is non-existent under the new Constitution, erroneously created by the Cabinet Secretary of that Ministry, has not signed any new leases or title deeds and if he has done so, that the signatures stand revoked? view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairman has told us, explicitly, that the Kenya-Somalia border is officially closed. We know that the security situation in Somalia, right now, is being controlled by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and the African Union (AU) Forces. However, we are also privy to the most recent occurrence at Westgate here in Nairobi where KDF officers were seen carrying goods from the supermarket in plastic bags. Can he reassure us that the small firearms are not carried into the country in small bags by KDF forces from Somalia? view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We are talking of a very grave situation of insecurity in this country. The head of the KDF has, indeed, agreed that some of his officers stole at the Westgate Mall and that two of them are being court marshalled. What I am talking of is not unreasonable. It is a reality that KDF officers have been known to steal and they could be carrying arms from Somalia to this country. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, all I wanted was the Chairman of this Committee to assure this House that the KDF officers are not involved in trafficking of small firearms from Somalia to Kenya. You repeated the same to him, but he has totally refused to assure this House. I do not know what information we will go with. Please, can he do it? view
• 30 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Will I be in order to give guidance to my two fellow Senators on what it means to request for a Statement? The first Senator continued contributing to a Motion that is not before the House and the second one is responding to a question he has not been asked. view
• 30 Oct 2013 in Senate: The second one is responding to a question that has not been put to him. view
• 30 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As a matter of procedure, are Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Hassan, in order to begin discussing a Motion that has not even been moved on the Floor of this House? This Motion has not even been moved but they are already discussing it. view
