On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Bw. Spika, mimi sipingi uamuzi wako. Lakini, taratibu za Bunge la Seneti zinasema kuwa ikiwa kuna Wabunge ambao wamesema, “tafadhali Bw. Spika, niko na Hoja ya nidhamu, kwa kawaida, huwa unawapatia nafasi hawa Maseneta waweze kuweka wazi Hoja zao za nidhamu, ili...

Sorry, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before you give Sen. Olekina time, I request Sen. Kinyua, the PSC Commissioner to Second my Motion that Sen. Sifuna--- (Loud Consultations)

Sen. Olekina, just have your seat. Senators, the Standing Orders do provide the hours when this Senate is supposed to transact its business. It is between 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. unless Standing Order No.34 (2) or Standing Order No.34 (4) is invoked; but both Standing Orders that I have...

Yes, and that is why I am making this application now. You promised to Communicate. You promised to come after 30 minutes which is why we have waited here. My colleague, Sen. Oketch Gicheru said that it will go way beyond 30 minutes. We wanted to find out what was...

Sen. Oburu, proceed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to join you in welcoming the students from Sawagongo High School, officials of Makueni County Assembly and the delegations or students from the USA. I believe their visit to Kenya will open their eyes to how we operate here democratically....

I feel a special connection to the visiting team. I hope that they get full value of their time in the Republic of Kenya and get to learn and interact with Members of Parliament.To the best of my knowledge, their Parliament is pretty much similar to ours both in structure...

Sen. Mandago, what is your point of order? Mr. Speaker, Sir, before you left last week, there was a communication that you were supposed to give to the House with regard to the leadership of the Minority Side. There was sudden departure on your part and we did not understand...

Bw. Naibu Spika, naomba Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will repeat what I said so that you capture it. I strongly believe that you were properly in order to invoke the provisions of Standing Orders, one to two on the four of us for gross misconduct in the House. When you retreat at some...

Yes, what is out of order? The Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Madzayo) : Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, we communicated to your Office with regard to changes made in the Leadership of the Minority side. From last week up to today, this Communication has been lying in your Office....

What do you expect me to do when we get to Order No.2? Is it to sit or stand, so that I can give any communication? (Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale) spoke off record)

Senate Minority Leader, can you, please, have your seat? I am on Order No.2. You should expect any Communication from the Chair. You did not follow the sequence. The Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Madzayo) : Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is fine. Maybe I did not hear you properly. However,...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, do you hear these kinds of manners? (Applause)(Applause) Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is fine. Maybe I did not hear you properly. However, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale should behave himself. (Loud consultations) COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE CHAIR DEFERMENT OF COMMUNICATION TO THE HOUSE ON CHANGES IN LEADERSHIP IN...

Sen. Olekina, proceed.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, none of us from the Minority side mean to disrespect the Chair or anyone occupying that seat at any particular time. We are getting frustrated because this is not why we were elected to come to the Senate. We have serious business to transact. We do...

Sen. Sifuna---

(Loud consultations)(Loud consultations)

(Loud consultations)(Loud consultations)(Loud consultations)

Simply communicate. Read the Communication, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Where is the Communication? Where is it? Is it this letter? Standing Order No.23. (Loud consultations)

I now proceed to read the Message.

No! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you allow me to talk? The issue here is that you are so inclined on one side and not looking on the other side. You are supposed to be blind in that Chair. I beseech you not to destroy the Senate. Since I came...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was waiting for the communication and because it was not forthcoming, the only way I would ask for an avenue, as a leader in this House, which I think I am entitled to--- I need a proper explanation...

Senate Minority Leader, you need to ask yourself whether Kiswahili is the mode of communication in Uganda. Otherwise, the delegation may not hear the good words that you are saying. The Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Madzayo) : Mr. Speaker, Sir, Ugandans speak fluent Kiswahili. We have been to their Parliament....

What is your point of order, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale?

(Loud consultations) Bw. Spika, hoja yangu ya nidhamu ni kwamba kuambatana na sheria za hapa ndani yaani Standing Orders zetu na pia zile sheria ambazo ni za Spika, tunatambua ya kwamba ni lazima mtu awe amevaa kisawasawa. Hatuwezi kuingilia katika maisha ya mtu vile anavyotaka kuvaa, lakini hapa Seneti---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, someone once said that as leaders, we should be judged by the content of our speech. It is quite evident that the distinguished Senator is picketing. From her words, she is actually raising something. She is not on her menstrual cycle. (Sen. Orwoba spoke off record) It...

La, Bw. Spika.

I agree with Members that have said that sometimes Motions, Statement and Bills are being called---I do not want to say that my colleagues are busy with other things. They are also busy serving people. However, they should teach their people that they also have business to transact.Sometimes in the...

Bw. Spika, tuko na mwenzetu, Seneta aliyechaguliwa ameingia na kuapishwa. Kama ilivyo kawaida yetu, nafikiri ingekuwa muhimu kwetu kwanza tuweze kumkaribisha na kumpa kongole yake kubwa kwa sababu alishiriki katika uchaguzi ambao ulipiganiwa na watu lakini aliweza kushinda. Amekuja hapa na hilo ni jambo la kujivunia.Bw. Spika, ingekuwa vyema kama...

Asante, Bw. Spika. Kwanza ninataka kumpa kongole ya juu sana ndugu yetu Sen. Kisang Wiliam Kipkemoi. Amefanya juhudi ya kuwabwaga wale wengine ili kupata nafasi ya kuja hapa akiwa Seneta wa Elgeyo Marakwet. Hilo ni jukumu la watu wa Elgeyo Marakwet ambao wamekupatia na ni lazima uwafanyie kazi. Ninaona umeambatana...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution to this very important debate. I want to bring a new perspective and thinking into this debate. The amount of suspicion and emotion that goes into electioneering comes because people do not trust the process....

Proceed, Sen. Osotsi.

still get commissioners who are lawyers. Why do we insist on the LSK getting a slot there? That is discriminatory.Mr. Speaker, Sir, as Senators, we have an opportunity to demonstrate leadership by agreeing on this. Today, the issue is not about numbers but about this country and where we are...

Order, Members! I am calling them over. Senate Majority Leader, proceed.

But it is the same issue.

Bw. Mwenyekiti wa Muda,

Indeed, Sen. Methu, that language is unparliamentary. Kindly retract and proceed to conclude your comments. Bw. Spika, sijui kama ulisikia Seneta alivyosema hapa. Alisema kwamba kuna guys hapa. Nashindwa hawa guys ni akina nani. Hapa kuna distinguished Senators. Matumizi ya lugha ni muhimu sana hapa kwa sababu hatutaki kupata ujumbe...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, two quick observations. One, is that many substantive issues were raised by the MCAs but fortunately it was close over. Secondly, today, in my observation, we have legitimized temporary impunity where you go to an office, you foul the law and that is it. Third--- Asante Bw....
