Sen. Abdirahman Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have heard what has transpired with the Committee that is headed by Sen. Khaniri. It has been very difficult to even get the Cabinet Secretaries or any other Government officials to give their responses in the National Assembly and the Senate. Since this...

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Senate Majority Leader clarify? Where the maximum time of the Motion is 30 minutes, how many minutes does each contributor speak for? How many minutes is he entitled to, because if it is 15 minutes, it means that there will be only...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Senate Majority Leader clarify? Where the maximum time of the Motion is 30 minutes, how many minutes does each contributor speak for? How many minutes is he entitled to, because if it is 15 minutes, it means that there will be only two speakers....

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the intention of the Motion is to increase only the speaking time for Senators in an Adjournment Motion from 10 to 15 minutes. It is not proposed to interfere with what the previous resolution has been. The previous resolution has been that when you...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you are satisfied, of course. (Question put and agreed to) Next Order! February 11, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether you will entertain a small inquiry to the Chair---

I beg your pardon?

Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I am what you will call a “freshman” Member of Parliament (MP) , just having been elected this particular cycle of elections. I have always wondered why it is that during Motions of Adjournment, Senators speak on a broad number of issues---

It is too late now, we are on the next Order!

Sen. Abdirahman

Sen. Abdirahman Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. I stand to support the Motion but with a few comments. I have heard the Senate Majority Leader saying that the two leaders consulted. That consultation, in my own assessment, is narrow. Consultation ranges from...

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to seek for some other direction. The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Murkomen) ; I will start with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and then come to you. I want to request Senators that since they are just seeking direction, they should just address themselves...

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, listening to the comments from two of my colleagues, I think that this an opportunity for us, not necessarily at the Second November 27, 2014 SENATE DEBATES Sen. AbdirahmanDevolved Government and the Committee on Agriculture lest we miss certain crucial input. Since we have...

Sen. Abdirahman Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to second The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 33 of 2014) has put here this afternoon.

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my flow of thought has very much been interrupted by the numerous points of order, including my own. I was almost getting convinced that at one point we really need to accommodate views from other stakeholders. I joined in because I felt that we...

Sen. AbdirahmanHassan Omar for many years. I supported him to be the Chairman of the Students Union in Moi University when I was a leader of the Christian Union and yet I knew he was Muslim. I have not changed my mind about Hassan Omar. However, of late, since I...

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of Sen. Ong’era, I want to request for a Statement. Pursuant to Standing Order, No.41 (2) (b) , I wish to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights regarding the allocation and disbursement...

Sen. Abdirahman I stand to be corrected. It is Standing Order No. 45 (2) (b) .

Sen. Abdirahman Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader for the very good response and the very prompt action with regard to the Mining Bill. I want to point out that, time and again, this Senate has bitterly November 4, 2014 SENATE DEBATES...

Sen. Abdirahman Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am compelled to stand on a point of order because the Senate Majority Leader said that the President does not do legislation, while in fact, the Attorney-General is the legal advisor of the President. The Attorney-General is the number one advisor of the...

Sen. Abdirahman I agree with you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just following in the footsteps of my senior, Sen. G.G. Kariuki, by the very honest admission that this problem is not that of only the two Speakers but quite a number of people including the Attorney-General. Like Ministries,...

Sen. Abdirahman No. Not referendum. (Laughter)
