• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when Statements are sought by this House from the relevant Chairpersons, the only authentic signature required for the Statement to be accepted by the Chair is that of the Chairperson. If the Chairperson is not around then the Vice Chairperson can sign on their behalf. Is the Vice Chairperson in order to deny us the Statement by saying that it is being signed? Who is signing it? We do not recognize other signatures. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Chair addresses the mitigation sought by Sen. Bule, we should also be told how much food is in our strategic grain reserve. We should also know whether some money has been set aside to purchase the livestock in those areas instead of leaving them to die. Could the Chair confirm whether it is true that stores in other areas like Kuria in Migori County are full of maize and farmers are complaining that they have nowhere to store their harvest? view
• 18 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, “he who plays the pipe calls the tune”. view
• 18 Oct 2016 in Senate: I studied medicine and not English. The issue is you do not always have to quote what somebody else said. Why can it not be my quotation? Who finances that conference? What is the involvement of the Senate in the financing of that conference? If we are subsidiary on the same, then we should not expect to be given that latitude to be heard. In any case, who works on the programme? Who dictates on what the programme should be? Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you have announced today that there will be that conference; let us, therefore, be involved in ... view
• 18 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to request that you order your office to always inform you when the Gallery has people or not because you were introducing visitors who were not there. view
• 18 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we move to Order No. 8 would I be in order to seek your guidance on how we handle Motions and Bills in the House? How would you guide the House in a situation where the mover of a Motion or Bill becomes absent continuously when his or her Motion is being debated without even delegating to any other Member to sit and hear the discussion? view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we celebrate about the happenings in the National Assembly, assent to a Bill does not necessarily mean that it turns into law. We have ‘the Sang Bill’ in limbo because of the court process. This process should be fast-tracked so that we see the light at the end of the tunnel of “the Sang Bill.” view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this issue seems to be contagious because it had been discussed previously and the ruling was that the Senate Majority Leader and Senate Minority Leader, as referred in this Standing Orders, are offices. I remember we argued much about that, but the ruling was that they are offices and not individuals. So, as you make the ruling, please, make it very clear so that this is resolved henceforth. view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand on Standing Order No.90(3). If you listened to Sen. Murkomen’s contribution in his point of order, he did refer to a Luhya saying on dogs which in this context in today’s discussion was an insult to the Senators according to me. Is he in order? view
