• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the kind of noise Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was making as he was walking to the Dispatch Box? Was he in order or is he under stress? Could we examine whether he has developed a hernia in the process of doing so? view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to pass my appreciation for the good work the Chair has done to bring all those reports as had been requested by the House last week? We know the Chairperson has presented the reports on behalf of the Committee. We like that kind of vigour and commitment to duty. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You do not have to study psychology to note the falsehood with which the Chair was trying to communicate to this House, to the extent of confusing the documents he was having on the Table. Could I be in order to request that he says that he has not worked on that issue? We will appreciate it instead of playing with language. view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, certain small privileges are important at a certain age. The conduct of the Chairman of the CRA, Mr. Cheserem, is below what we expect out of a person of that kind of experience and respect in this country; especially taking note of the problems that county assemblies have had in the last few months. For example, Migori County has its assembly nearly totally grounded, especially because of the mischief of the governor controlling funds. Thanks to this House because we are reviewing the law that regulates how money will be handled at that level. It is ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. According to the provisions of the Standing Order Nos.110(b) and 110(2), we all noticed the Deputy Speaker bow to both sides of the House. However, Sen. Sang breached Standing Order No.110(b). Could you, please, use Standing Order 110(2)(a) to teach him a lesson? view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As we appreciate the visit to this House by the Kitale West Cultural Council of Elders from Trans Nzoia County, it reminds me of the laws that are archaic that we still use in this House. More often than not, they are suspended in certain occasions. When a new Parliament is inaugurated, we usually have elders give traditional prayers dressed in their traditional regalia. I see no reason a council of traditional elders from our communities visiting this House, should not visit us in their traditional regalia to give this House the respect that ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: I said “decent dressing.” view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Chairperson also enlighten this House on regional distribution of this funny behaviour per county for the past five years? view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is disturbing to hear reasons given by the Auditor-General on delays on giving us reports on audited accounts of certain counties. I have Narok County in mind because it has been in the news for misappropriation of resources and yet it is given less priority for submission of reports. Allow me to show dissatisfaction on the work of the Auditor-General in handling his duties. I am not satisfied. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to believe that the Chairperson of the Education Committee has listened to you carefully with the appeal that we have the two Cabinet Secretaries to address this issue, especially so, on the way forward in the north eastern part of Kenya. Two days ago, we saw in the media, the Vice Chancellor of Garissa University ordering all the staff to report back to the institution. Whether that was a good sign that there was security or it was just semantics, nobody knows. Some of the questions we want answered are; first, what is ... view
