Sen. Muthama Bw. Spika, nakushukuru kwa kunipa nafasi hii. Nawashukuru wananchi wa Nyamira ambao wametuma Petition yao hapa. Hii ni dhihirisho ya kwamba Wakenya wamechoka, hawana nguvu na pia hawana pa kwenda. Wananchi hawa wako na mwakilishi wao hapa, ambaye ni Seneta, lakini hawawezi kuandika hiyo Petition kupitia kwake. Wanaona...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Murang’a is inviting you to find that the Senate Minority Leader was grossly out of order. Before you do that, because obviously, the statement he made touched not only on Sen. Kembi-Gitura but also on you, let us cool...

A lies in the President’s Speech. If you want to expand similar jurisdictions, see how debate is vibrant in the Parliament of South Africa and the House of Commons. All you have to do is to go to YouTube. Do not take away the freedom of speech from Kenyans simply...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I sat here pensively and listened to Sen. Sang, Sen. (Prof.) Lesan, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on the subject matter that was brought up by Sen. Sang. I just want to share the experience I have from the Tenth Parliament...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Was the leadership of this House in order to cancel all committee meetings? The meetings of committees were closed up to 31st January, 2017. No business was being transacted. All this mess is because the committees were limited, their hands were...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for that valuable information. However, in his usual enthusiasm, he has completely failed to appreciate what my point was.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to inform Sen. Muthama. What he is driving at is the need for the Chief Executive of the country --- Order, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale!

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I introduced it wrongly. Let me bring it up properly. The President is expected, while in office, to ensure that in accordance with the oath of office which he took to uphold and preserve the Constitution, he must ensure that in so doing, the right to...

He is quite in order because it depends on the context of his speech. I find nothing disorderly in the way he executed and mentioned the former Prime Minister. If he moves out of rail, I will derail him instead. What is it, Sen. (Dr.) Zani?

Is Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo in order to allude that it is only the Opposition who are hunting for voters and forgetting to take care of the health sector? We know that both sides of the coalition have been out on voter registration drives. The Jubilee Government, especially, should have been...
