• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had not finished! The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Since the House opened, we have heard Members raise two or three points of orders. Is it a precedent being set that one Member can raise more than one point of order at a time or do we follow the precedent that was set by Parliament in the previous events? view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: That only one point of order will be raised at a time. view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request that I am not misunderstood on this. What I was raising is that the Leader of Majority raised two points of orders in one instance. view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at times, it is painful to address historical injustices. At times, it is not easy for the beneficiaries to accept that that happened. This House must be explicit and we must be open not because we condemn certain communities in this country, but because we condemn what happened in the contexture of history. Of the 22 purported public universities, 14 chartered private universities and 12 universities with intention to be given authority, I do not need to go to the statistics Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has given to show where these universities are positioned. The last debater had ... view

• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realize many hon. Senators wanted to make their contributions to this Motion. Would I be in order, therefore, to request that we do not vote today and continue debating and we do the voting tomorrow? view
• 7 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the rule is that when a Senator wants to delegate to another Senator for the purposes of voting, a letter is written to you. I, therefore, believe that if there was any such delegation, you had the letter. Indeed, it so appears that you had none. So, what actually you have proved is that the threshold had not been met before the voting. Would I, therefore, be in order – on the Standing Order as quoted by Sen. Wetangula and the others – to request you sincerely to set a good precedent for this House that ... view
• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On today’s Order Paper, the last page, there is a schedule of election of committee Chairpersons that has been attached. To the best of my knowledge, we received information from the Office of the Clerk that the timetable had been changed. Would I be in order to seek your guidance? view
• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me on behalf of the Migori people to condole with the family, friends and relatives of the late Mutula Kilonzo. His life was dramatic and it can just be compared to a thriller movie which ends when everybody wants to see more. Indeed, as Sen. Khalwale said, I had the opportunity to face the wrath of Mutula’s brilliance when I was the Minister for the East African Community (EAC) and hon. (Dr.) Khalwale was the Assistant Minister. He drove the Ministry crazy. However, we expected a lot from the man who in the last two weeks ... view
