Sen. Bulewere placed.

Sen. Bule Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will respond in two weeks’ time.

Sen. Bule On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am aware that rules must be stuck too. However, I believe that rules have room for discretion. I say this with a heavy heart to my Chairman. This is the last opportunity for us with Sen. Keter. He...

Order, Sen. Bule! If you are on a point of order, you make a point of order. If you want to contribute, you press the button to contribute. If you want to talk about what I have heard you talk about, we have moved on.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am bit delighted that Sen. Bule regarded us as his former friends. We are still friends. That said and done, I am urging my colleagues that this is not the end of it. The Senate Majority Leader should find his conscience to bring this amendment...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to contribute to this particular limit. In the changes suggested by the Executive, we are talking about an office becoming vacant because of various reasons. The PSC is supposed to appoint someone to run it for 90 days. If the Opposition is not comfortable...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the memorandum before the House on which a decision is being made has been brought by the President who has told the country that he is committed to fight against corruption. I appeal to the President, the Senate Majority Leader and the entire membership of the...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you exhorted us to reflect on our role as a Senate. Until today, I believe that our role will be the House that offers a sober second thought on matters of national importance. That underpins our aspirations to be considered the “upper” House in this nation....

Sen. (Dr.) Machage, I will not give you a chance because I had made a ruling that, that would be the last person to contribute. Therefore, let me put the Question. (Question put and agreed to) COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE THE WATER BILL (NATIONAL ASSEMBLY BILL NO.7 OF 2014)

Let us have Hon. Njogu Barua.

Hon. Abdi Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion by Hon. Victor Munyaka. This is a very timely Motion coming at a time when we face multiple criminal and violent extremist activities, runaway proliferation of small arms as well as other threats to our security and...

Sen. Bule

Sen. Bule Jambo la nidhamu, Bw. Spika. Seneta anayechangia Hoja hii amesema kwamba sisi Maseneta tunaonekana kama zuzu. Je, anaweza kutueleza maana ya “zuzu?”

Sen. Bule Sen. Bule. Kwanza, ningependa kumueleza Sen. Billow kwamba hufai kusimama kwa hoja ya nidhamu ili ufunzwe lugha. Endelea, Sen. Bule.

Sen. Bule Sen. Bule, maliza sasa.

Sen. Bule Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to support this Motion. As I mentioned before, I think it is the high time as we go for this recess that we try to qualify what our mandate in terms of oversight should be, even as we internalize. We...

Sen. Bule Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement that I sought last week---

Sen. Bule(Loud consultations)

Sen. Bule What is it, Sen. Njoroge?

Sen. Bule Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to request for your indulgence so that I be appreciated for being a good teacher. I have succeeded in convincing Sen. Mbura and Sen. Bule to move away from Jubilee because it serves no useful purpose to the people of the coast...

Sen. Bule Order, Sen. Bule! Proceed, Sen. Njoroge.

Sen. Bule Order, Sen. Bule! This is not a fish market in Tana River or a goat market in Hola. This is the Senate. Just listen, you will be given your time. Press the button and wait. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you have told the Senate that you have been a...

Sen. Bule(Laughter) (Laughter)

Just relax. You will have your time. The person being discussed is you. Therefore, you need to take notes as they raise the issues they are raising. I will give you the last chance. Once we are done with your interventions, you will speak. I will listen to one more...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that Sen. Bule is out of order. I want to remind him---

Order! It is not in your place to determine whether he is out of order or not. Just raise your point of order.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to remind him that the Political Parties Act is very clear. Therefore, if today Sen. Bule and his party, have decided that they have dissolved the memorandum they signed with Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) , he has a right to move to any other...

Sen. Bule Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can see that my colleagues in the opposite side are very hungry to have these positions of leadership. Let me remind them that 2017 is not far. Let them wait. On a serious point, you have said that the debate that (Laughter)

Order! Sen. Bule(Loud Consultations)

Sen. Bule On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.45 (2) (b) , I rise to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget regarding Uwezo Fund.

Sen. Bule Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied although I urge the Chairperson that this issue of pouring money to the Constituencies and not finding it is our task as Senators ---

Sen. Bule Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I would like to thank the Mover of the Motion, Sen. Elachi, for giving us the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am humbled and happy about what we have come up with. It is...

Sen. Bule Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am talking about my colleagues. However, they behave like children in a primary school. They need to know that.

Sen. Bule I apologise for that, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wonder when the leadership of this country, which we voted for and have faith in it, will change the scenario. A mere Member in the National Assembly who was elected by at least 4,000 or 5,000 people is recognised...

Sen. Bule On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Sang says that the Senate Minority Leader is not in the House and I can see his able deputy. I think he has to give the opportunity to the Deputy Minority of Leader. Could he withdraw his remarks?

Sen. Bule Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to add my voice and also congratulate the good job done by the Committee. The Mediation Committee has done a good job and saved us. Yesterday, I did not sleep. I was worried whether the Committee will agree or disagree. This was a...
