(Laughter)(Laughter) A incredible decisions that Hon. Marende made. Some of the very bad decisions he made, they include that we, in the Opposition, were busy clapping and clamoring on how we were happy that the committees that are supposed to be the Oversight Committees should never be allowed to be...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Just the way my colleague has said, I welcome the team from Samburu. This place is interesting because when you come, you get information as to how you are going to run your offices. The team that is in this...

Thank you. Mr. Speaker, Sir. According to our Standing Orders, I have to make a declaration and that a similar matter is affecting me personally. However, I shall not divulge or even discuss the details of that case because it is in court. This is a national issue. The issue...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this discussion. I have listened to my colleagues discuss this matter and I was fortunate enough to have been in the National Assembly with you 15 years ago when this issue was discussed. If you can remember,...

On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

No. today, I might lose on you again. (The Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Madzayo) spoke off record)

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just give me a minute. It is so important. I have been waiting, sitting here for the last three hours. (Loud consultations)

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that I should not be on the Floor when you are there, but gentlemen, relax. Take it easy. You are now in power. Power is transitory. Relax.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair, unfortunately, with all due respect, is violating the Standing Orders. (Applause)

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for looking this way. If you listened to the argument that Sen. Mungatana is making, he is actually giving a legitimization and expression as to why he thinks we need to go and hold this exercise in Committee. Already, the presentation has been made...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hope you will also allow us make our case. Proceed, Sen. Mungatana. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I take my seat, we have been told in submissions by previous speakers that we are carrying out a quasi-judicial function of this Senate. Every person who has...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Motion on three facts. One, history will judge us harshly. All impeachment proceedings that have gone to Committee have become negative like laundry processes where governors who face accusations have come back. Many people are not correcting this. For the...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to emphasize that after listening to Sen. Crystal Asige raise the issue on how we can be sensitive to people with visual disability or impairment, it makes sense for the Committee responsible to take this matter seriously. We need to relook at the standardization...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. After such lovely words that my brother, the Senator of Meru has said, I also wanted to mention to him---

There is thuggery and snatching of bags and mobile phones. These are things that were not happening until very recently. I do not know why.I hope the Government will be seized of this issue and that it will ensure it comes up with policies that will make the National Police...

I thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for allowing me to engage myself on this matter. Without casting aspersions on Sen. Kinyua, I want him to know that it is true that we are on this side, but we are giving them time to try and fix the mess. We could...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to commend my senior, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, for raising this matter of pending bills. How I wish that he raised the question regarding all the county governments in Kenya. The issue of pending bills is the big elephant in the House. We...

Asante, Bw. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa nafasi leo nizungumze hapa kwa sababu ni muda mrefu sana tangu nizungumzie ndugu zangu ambao nimefanya kazi nao. Mhe. Sen. Mungatana, MGH, tulikuwa naye Serikalini mbeleni tukiwa wachanga sana. Ni kiongozi ambaye tunamheshimu sana. Wakati atakuwa katika Bunge la Afrika, kazi yake itakuwa...

Inaonekana mtandao uko na shida hapa. Asante, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Kwanza, ningependa kumshukuru Sen. Kibwana kwa kuleta Hoja hii kwa Seneti. Ni jambo la heshima. Sisi kama viongozi, na hata kwa wale ambao ni madaktari kama Sen. (Dkt.) Khalwale, hatujayapa maswala ya afya ya kiakili umuhimu unaohitajika. Hatujachambua hili...

Sen. Onyonka, do you want to be informed by Sen. Omogeni? (Sen. Onyonka spoke off record)

Thank you, Sen. Omogeni, for informing me. MCAs look at us Senators as the ones who are supposed to protect their interests, but guess what they think. We come to this House and negotiate for ourselves and leave them struggling on the ground without anything. Finally, for those Members who...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is very interesting because I have known Sen. Murkomen for quite a while. I happen to have the advantage of being in this Parliament for the last 23 years. When the Senate started, he came out as one of the very articulate, intelligent...
