• 4 Nov 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to request that the Senate Majority Leader comments on the status of the Bills that the President has assented to, especially the Khalwale Bill. With reference to Article 115 (6) of the Constitution, do we take it that the Khalwale Bill has been automatically assented to by the President? He has not answered that question. view

• 30 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened carefully when Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was raising his point of order, he referred to the Senate Majority Leader as Kariuki Chotara; God rest his soul in peace. However, is in order to throw the name of the Senate Majority Leader in bad repute? Whatever his assessment was of Kariuki Chotara, I think he should withdraw because this is on record. view

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been in this Parliament for a few years. I remember that in the Ninth Parliament, the former Attorney-General who served under those Parliaments had a major problem of saying “no” to the Government when an issue was worth saying “no” to. He would say it in very many words. I see the Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights currently serving again having a similar problem of saying he has found the ability of some Members of his committee wanting. Therefore, he would in many words want a new committee. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: He is now coming up with a very interesting way of telling us the problem he has in the committee; by setting up this ad hoc committee whose nine Members are his Members. So, the question is: Who is being rejected? You already can see who the rejected Members are. 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
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House:- The Report on the meeting of the steering Committee on the African Parliamentary Network Development and Evaluation held on 25th to 26th September, 2014 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. view
