• 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As we ponder and think of what is going on in the country right now, I get worried on the sort of advisors our President may be having. At one time, I thought that the second generation alcoholic drinks were dealt with by the same President, but I wonder whether his advisors are not on this stuff. When the President was in Italy, Kenyans and more so the teaching fraternity thought that his arrival in the country will blow wisdom into the whole saga. Everybody kept waiting for the President to give direction because we ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the mischief of the budget making process at the county level has thrown many counties into problems; examples are Makueni County; we have an issue in Migori, where the budget was actually made and discussed by Migori County Assembly and it was actually changed and delivered to the relevant places with those changes without any ratification by the Assembly. Indeed, there is need to relook at the Standing Orders and the Act that governs the budget making process so that mandatory signatories, and letters of confirmation as demanded by the Senate on this budget making vis-a-vis ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You heard the honorable Senator talk of blah blah. What is the meaning of blah blah? view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Prof). Lesan has persistently referred to you as Mr. Chairman despite you being the Speaker of this session. Is he in order? view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The normal procedure is to go through the orders on the Order Paper. Order no. 5 just meant tabling of the Papers. No motion has been moved for us to discuss any of these Papers. Is the “tabler” of the Paper in order to put us through a debate? view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has made a very important statement here on an issue of defamation by the Gutter Press of a Member of this House. Whether that is true or not, it is a subject of discussion and imagination. However, it is not sweet to the concerned Senator. Would it, therefore, be in order that a select committee from this House is established to actually investigate the activities and sponsors of Citizen’s “Ghetto Newspaper” or whatever it is called? view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If you listened to Sen. M. Kajwang, he expressed his thinking loudly about the dangers of the late introduction of the new ID card registration machines. Would I be in order to demand that the Chair denies or accepts that, that is actually the plan of the Government to use the introduction of the new IDs as a rigging method? Confirm or deny. view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not privy to any information on the Statement but I will endeavour to make sure that we get it. Sen. Kittony has been here but it would be very naïve for us to pick any document from a lady’s bag. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Chair agree and confess that the report is incomplete. Would I be in order to suggest that the Chair brings us a comprehensive report in the next sitting when he will have enough information on the subject? view
• 30 Jul 2015 in Senate: Asante, Bw. Spika. Leo tunatekeleza wajibu wetu kama Bunge la Seneti ili kuelekeza pesa mashinani. Kila Kaunti imepata haki yake. Lakini sijui kama tutatabasamu ama tuanze kulia na kusaga meno kwa sababu hatujui zitatumika namna gani huko. Leo ninapiga kura Kaunti ya Migori ipatiwe Kshs5,836,852,127. Leo tukipitisha Hoja hii Kaunti hii itapata Kshs465,900,000. Lakini kuna wale walafi ambao wanazingoja waanze kuzitumia kwa sera zisizokubalika. Nawatangazia watu wa Migori kwamba mimi niko tayari kugongana na Gavana na Spika iwapo hawatatekeleza wajibu wao kwa haki. Tutakutana kwa mikutano na nitawajulisha wananchi kuhusu ulafi, ulevi na ufidhuli wao mpaka wajukikane walivyo. The electronic ... view
