Sen. Abdirahman On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What is it, Sen. Murkomen? May 6, 2014 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Abdirahman You should let me finish!

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Procedural Motion as proposed by the Senate Majority Leader. I equally find it prudent to shorten the period as these two Bills form the cornerstone of the work that the Senate is purely involved in with regard to counties. I...

Sen. Abdirahman Thank you for helping me, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Also noting the fact that the Senate comprises of both sides of this House and because of our bi-partisan approach--- Order, Sen. Abdirahman! Sen. Abdirahman I will not spoil anything. I only plead with you to allow me the last...

Sen. Abdirahman Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues who supported this particular Motion on the transfer of functions to counties. From the outset, I want to say that we thank you, as the Speaker, and we thank the efforts of the Senate for allowing Senators...

Sen. Abdirahman Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. Can we reduce it to five minutes for each Senator? Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope it will not affect me because I am already on my feet. You have not even started. I am ordering five...

Sen. AbdirahmanIt was sought.

Sen. Abdirahman(Laughter) Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need to add my voice on this issue and the other similar issues with the sentiments and requests by Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Kembi-Gitura. The point is the first time when the Senate convened last year, there was quite a bit of...

Sen. Abdirahman I thought he was on a point of order on what Sen. Kittony said and not about you.

Sen. Abdirahman On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senate Majority Leader missed a great point when Sen. Kittony, the Vice Chairperson, made it very clear that this Report came from the Committee after deliberations. Is he in order to stand and say that she is denying...

Sen. Abdirahman On a point of clarity. I said that we had done our work and tabled our Report for the counties that we have visited. If this draft came before our Committee, probably, I was not there. That is exactly what I said. A number of my colleagues are...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say Senators are fighting shadows. I said “others” and not Senators. If I had said that Senators are fighting shadows, then I would be required to substantiate. The Senate Minority Leader (

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard the Chairperson say that at least they use the live bullets when their lives are threatened. Yesterday, my people were very innocent and I was very innocent; and I still tend to think that the inspector was aiming the bullet at me. He...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is something very serious which must be interrogated, particularly because Kenyans are watching. The Chairperson stated the circumstances under which the police can use live bullets. This is something that should be clarified because they are also watching and Kenyans are also watching, and you do...

Sen. Abdirahman On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think it will be appropriate for us to allow this particular Committee to take this House in circles. In fact, the performance of this particular Committee is wanting. If the particular Ministry cannot multi-task - the Ministry is not about an individual,...

He just gave an example and said that because of love, even if one could live for over 200 years, people will still cry. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you can also live up to 200 years if you trust in God. Everything is possible if you trust in God. (Laughter)...

who have been abandoned by those careless sons and daughters, and I think they should be arrested for abandoning a father or mother. That is like abandoning your child in Class One or Two. If you are not taking your child to school today, there is a law and action...

Sen. Abdirahman On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Sonko has tabled copies of receipts of the parking fee in Nairobi. Are the documents which he has just laid on the Table authentic? We know we have people collecting taxes in this town with fake receipts. Are they...
