• 18 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank Prof. Lonyangapuo for this timely Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, when you engage somebody without any policy, training, remuneration or compensation, actually, you create a slave. That is the definition of a slave. Of course, there is the other issue of volunteers. It is interesting to see how definitions are used differently in other places. When these people are picked by the politically-correct people, they are called reservists, but when you have such volunteers in other places, like in my place, they are called vigilantes. They are given names and even blacklisted, and yet, they do ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in Senate: distribution of the police force in the whole country. Why are some areas left to man their security using vigilantes while other areas man their areas using the regular police? That is not fair. We should also look at the per capita employment of the police force from all the communities in this country. Why do we find only one ethnic group manning roadblocks? There are only two ethnic groups; I do not have to mention them. This should be looked into and actually checked, because it is not proper. It is, indeed, not proper to refuse to include the ... view
• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government has made a very serious report on the unwillingness of a Ministry to reply or respond to their order. Would I be in order to request that you guide this House on how long it should be considered a waiting period and whether we have the powers, as envisaged by the Constitution, to also use the powers of the High Court on the Minister? view
• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in view of the legal advice that has been presented to us by the former Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya and humbly so accepting it, I would want to seek your indulgence that I withdraw the amendment Motion that I had moved earlier and replace it with the following--- view
• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I second the amendment to the Motion as put to us by Sen. Wako. The spirit of the Motion is not lost and Sen. Nobwola’s spirit will actually be more lifted if we make this amendment so that the whole Motion is in tandem with our established norms of practice of medicine in this country. We already have an established Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board that is ably functioning but what we need to do is give more mandate to the counties in a wide scale instead of looking at only public health complaints as put to ... view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My name is Sen. (Dr.) Machage from Migori. Whereas we appreciate the Curriculum Vitae (CV) of the Mover of the Motion, you did in your own words order that sufficient copies of the Motion as amended should be made immediately for distribution to hon. Senators. We have not seen that, neither have we seen if his CV is in that Motion as amended. Would I, therefore, be in order to request you, in your wisdom, allow for a few minutes for us to get the amended Motion, so that we participate fully ... view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have explicitly given a ruling on this matter and given an order. Are these hon. Members in order to question your authority? view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas I appreciate what the gracious Senator is trying to say, she has made a very dangerous statement. It is true that some Senators here were Cabinet Ministers but it is not true that any of them benefitted; otherwise she should lay evidence on this Table. Who benefitted from the last historic event? view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to move an amendment to the amended Motion as put to us by the Senate Majority Leader. I beg to move:- THAT, the Motion be amended by deleting the whole of Clause 4. This is for the following reasons: If you look at our own Constitution, Section 2(5) says that the general rules of international law shall form part of the law of Kenya. If you look at Section 143(4), it says that the immunity of the President under this Article shall not extend to a crime for which the President may be prosecuted under ... view
