• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to draw your attention to Standing Order No. 94(2). The first point of order requested Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o to substantiate, which he attempted to do. The subsequent points of order that were raised were not necessary because the only determination on whether the substantiation was adequate or not rests with you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Part 2 clearly says that you can give more time in the next sitting for more substantiation. So, would I be in order to ask that no more points of orders are raised using ... view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: I want to inform him. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Not even psychologists can anticipate what you are likely to speak in the next sentence. It is, maybe, soothsayers who may pretend to do so. So, gagging Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’- Nyong’o not to proceed and tell us what he has in mind is wrong. He may have other information and so let us hear him. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Murkomen trying to question your judgment that this Motion was not of national importance? view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hear me, both sides of the House. It might sound trivial as we discuss this issue, from whichever side that you are. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, I was not at Uhuru Park. I thank God that I am alive and well because I was in a hospital in Karen due to an illness. But I watched the whole exercise on television. Let it be known that Al Jazeera and other international media did televise the event live. Really the assumption that both sides of the House are celebrating nothing--- view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a lawyer I would have expected Sen. Murkomen to have a good memory of what the Motion by Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o is all about. It is unfortunate that Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o could not really table his substantiation of what he had in mind, and we accept the situation. But the truth is that in most African households we do keep wet firewood on the ceiling as the mothers cook, waiting for it to dry slowly. We know that sometimes that firewood “laughs” at the firewood in the fire. One day that firewood will be also in that ... view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must protect this Chapter which has 40 Articles on the Bill of Rights. It should not be trivialized. We are here to make and protect law. We are not here to amuse ourselves whether or not the CORD rally yesterday was successful. The importance of this Chapter should not be undermined, because that is what Kenya and independence is all about; your freedom. The games that are being played by the so- called Jubilee and CORD should stop. What Kenyans should be looking at are facts. Does CORD have an issue to address to the ... view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is still a young person. Just live for a few more years and you will be wiser. I call upon my own party, CORD, to withdraw the statement that they have stopped dialogue. I will call upon Jubilee, especially His Excellency the President to sit down with CORD, dialogue and listen. This is our country. We should not let it go down the drain because of pride and arrogance. It is not worth it. The generations to come will judge us harshly if the leadership of both Jubilee and CORD cannot even sit down to ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from my knowledge, we seek statements from committee chairs. Therefore, is hon. Murungi in order to reprimand the chairperson of the committee for having sought information from whichever level of officers he so desired? view
