Mr. Speaker, Sir, matters of land and boundaries are issues that are so central to the people of Kenya. They are so intimate that the mention of land in some societies is like scratching a wound. Sometime back, I brought to the attention of the country when we were drafting the Constitution on the issues contained in the Sessional Paper of 2008 which addressed the matters of boundaries and land as from 1895 when Kenya was still a Protectorate of the British rule. What followed thereafter was my being arrested and handed to the courts where I was accused of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not really interesting to listen to some of the things that can happen to Members of this House, knowing what history has, hitherto, projected on similar circumstances. The law was broken by an officer serving summons to a Member of this House. The Member has confessed that he appeared before the CIDs. That is the seriousness of the matter. How do you show extreme displeasure as the Speaker? Maybe by calling upon the arrest of the person who served that summon to a Member of this House because the law was breached. Instead of making ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. There are many ways of expressing an opinion. One of the ways of refusing to accept a Bill is to deny it quorum or vote. This Bill has been with us for some time now. I plead that we continue with the numbers that we have and let justice prevail instead of postponing it. Maybe, Members do not want to vote on this Bill. 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.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with all humility and respect to the Chair, you should have proposed the Question before you put the Question.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order just to remind you that all you did not do was to defer part (ii) and (iii) to a different day? Otherwise, we are happy with your ruling.

Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Leo ni siku ya maana kwa Seneti hii kwa sababu tunajadiliana pesa zilizotengewa Serikali za Kaunti. Sisi twataka kuupitisha Mswada wa kuzipa pesa Serikali hizi kwa minajili ya maendeleo na kazi zingine za muhimu. Hatupitishi pesa hizi kusudi magavana wa kaunti wajipendekeze kwa wananchi kwamba wao ndio wenye pesa. Kama hawaangalii runinga, waangalie ili waone ni akina nani wanaopendekeza mgao huu wa pesa. Je, ni nani aliye na kibuyu au kifurushi cha pesa? Ni Bunge la Seneti. Wanafaa kwenda nje na kusema; “pesa hizi nimewaletea ni Sen. Machage aliyezitafuta.” Hivi leo twaangaza macho yetu kwa Kshs258 ...

Bw. Naibu Spika, nipe nafasi niseme haya. Kila mtu akianza kulia, wengine wako na sauti kubwa kuliko wengine. Lakini sio kwamba wengine hawana uchungu. Wengine hulia kimoyomoyo, lakini wote huwa wanalia. Wote tuko na shida hiyo. Katika Kaunti ya Migori, tunakodesha nyumba. Naibu governor alifukuzwa kutoka kwa ofisi ya serikali kwa sababu ni hiyo serikali ya Jubilee imekata kuonga Katiba yasema nini kwamba tuwe na serikali moja mashinani. Wamesema kwamba lazima serikali za provincial administration ziwepo. Basi mle hayo machungu. Isingekuwa hivyo basi tungewawia radhi na kuwapa nafasi hawa wenzetu wapate wanayoomba. Wote tuko kwa kikapu hicho na yafaa tuwe ...
