Sen. Okong’o Maybe you can help me, Sen. Okong’o; what Standing Order are you quoting? Let us work on this together; tell me what you are referring to. (Laughter)

Sen. Okong’o Hiki kitabu tunachotumia kinaitwa Standing Orders! (Laughter)

Hiki kitabu tunachotumia kinaitwa Standing Orders! Sen. Okong’o Bw. Naibu Spika, ndio; Kifungu cha 90 cha Standing Orders kinachotaja kwamba ukitaka kutaja jina la kiongozi yeyote--- Ni Kifungu cha 90 (4) .

Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa heshima na taadhima kwa kiongozi mwenzangu, mimi sikumtaja mtu yeyote; nimedokeza tu! Lakini kwa sababu anataka---

But, Sen. (Dr.) Machage, if you look at Standing Order No.90 (4) , you used the words a “Senator;” you said “kuna Seneta ambaye---;” those are the words you used. Now, we are a House of the Senate and there are only 67 Senators; I think you might have to...

Bw. Naibu Spika, leo tunaangaza mawazo yetu---

I can hear some Senators saying that it is the report; is that right? But then if it is in the report, refer me to the specificity because that would then be substantiating.

Naja hapo, Bw.Naibu Spika.

No, I want us to deal with Sen. Okong’o’s issue now.

Naja hapo, Bw. Naibu Spika; subira huvuta heri. Nisikize- --

Sen. Machage, I am not asking you for an explanation. Your Swahili is---

Bw. Naibu Spika, nataka kujibu. April 1, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Yes, can you do that now, please?

Bw. Naibu Spika, tazama ripoti hii katika ukurasa wa 16 kuhusu Waziri Chirchir. Niruhusu niendelee, huyu atasoma baadaye; amesoma sana huyo.

Ukurasa upi?

Ukurasa wa 15 au wa 16, soma hapo.

It will make your work very easy if you just make a reference and say that is it. This is a public document now and there is no issue. But if you talk about a Senator, then we do not know whether you are talking about any of the 67...

Bw. Naibu Spika, nimesema tutizame ripoti ya Waziri Chirchir. Iko hapa, mtaisoma. Lakini---

What is the point of order, Sen. Okong’o? Sen. Okong’o Bw. Naibu Spika, yale tunayoyaangazia hapa sio ripoti ya Waziri Chirchir lakini tunaangazia ripoti ya Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) , aliyopewa Rais. Kwa hivyo, Sen. (Dr.) Machage akitueleza kwamba ni ripoti ya Waziri Chirchir, nadhani anatupotosha.

Bw. Naibu Spika, ningependa tutizame ukurasa wa 15 wa ripoti hii katika aya ya kwanza, mstari wa mwisho. Ninanukuu kwa kiingereza:- “the tender was meant to corruptly yield US$15 million, which was to be shared between Davis Chirchir and Senator Mike Mbuvi.”

What is your point of order, Sen. Sang?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the same sentence quoted by Sen. (Dr.) Machage says the tender was “meant” which means that the said Senator did not---

What is your point of order?

In his comments, he said that the Senator “alijinyakulia,” but reading from this, it means that it did not materialize. So, it is just an allegation and it is important that he makes that clarification that he did not actually get the Ksh 1 billion, or whatever it is.

Yes, it is good that we get everything in context, Sen. (Dr.) Machage.

Bw. Naibu Spika, nilisema hivi; ni aibu iliyoje kwamba wenzetu wametajwa katika ripoti hii? Naomba ninukuu vizuri, hata nikasema kwamba Sen. Orengo ametajwa kimakosa kwa sababu anadai urithi wa babake, ambayo ni haki yake. Ilhali imeandikwa hapa kwamba yeye ni mfisadi kwa kudai haki ya babake, na kadhalika. Ndipo sasa...

Order, Senator! Your time is up! April 1, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir they took a lot of my time in their points of order.

I will give you two minutes because of the time taken in the interruptions.

Yaliyomo kwa ripoti hii yamedokezewa kwetu na Rais mwenyewe, tuyasome, tuyaelewe na tuyachunguze. Ethics and Anti-Corrruption Commission wamesema watayachunguza. Wamepewa muda wa siku sitini kufanya vile, lakini hizo ni chache; lakini huo muda ndio waliopewa. Wako na wafanyikazi wa kutosha na tunatarajia watupe ripoti kamili kwa muda wa siku sitini....

Your time is up. Thank you. Proceed, Sen. Mositet.

Asante sana, Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa kunipa ruhusa niweze kuchangia Hotuba ya Rais aliyoitoa kwa Bunge wiki iliyopita. Rais aliwajibika kikatiba na akazungumzia taifa lote kutoka Bunge. Aliyazungumzia mambo ambayo Serikali yake imefanya na yale ambayo yatafanywa. Rais alichangia na kusema kuwa Wizara, kama ni ile ya barabara, yale ambayo...

Kenya International Airport. Tunafurahia kazi nzuari ambayo inaendelea pale na ujenzi mzuri na wa kisasa ambao unatupa sura nzuri kama Kenya na tunaweza kujivunia mradi huu utakapokamilika. Ni vizuri wale wanaopewa jukumu la kufanya kazi wawe na mipango mizuri ili tuwe tayari kukabiliana na janga lolote.Rais pia alizungumza kuhusu changamoto...

Rais alimalizia kwa kusema kwamba ana hofu kwamba baadhi ya watu ambao wamepewa nafasi ili kuwahudumia wananchi wa taifa hili wamegeuka kuwa waporaji. Tume ya Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commision (EACC) ilimkabidhi Rais ripoti ambayo Rais pia alitukabidhi.Wiki moja iliyopita, Kamati ya Bunge ya Finance, Commerce and Budget ilikuwa Naivasha. Tulialika...

Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President’s Speech which captured the mood of the nation. I remember standing up to applaud the President when he raised the issue of corruption, when he apologized to Kenyans and partly when he addressed insecurity....

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to applaud the President for a healthy economy. I can see growth all over this country. As a country, we need to---

Order, Sen. Munyes. Just address the Chair and ignore your detractors.

Sen. Okong’o Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the same note, considering the dynamics now that the clock is ticking, bearing in mind the condition given by the President for investigations to be done within a time frame, which has now reduced to almost 52 days; considering that with the resignation...

Sen. Okong’o On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If we hold the position that the EACC is incapacitated, then Parliament, as a matter of urgency may reconsider foregoing the recess so as to deliberate on this matter.

Sen. Okong’o Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also comment on this Bill. I listened very carefully to the Senate Majority Leader when he was elaborating on this Bill and I heard most of the legal issues that he raised. This country, as most...

Sen. Okong’o Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also take this opportunity to applaud the First Lady on an individual decision to do what governments in this country have failed to do for the last 50 years. Some of us who have been in athletics know that for the...

Sen. Okong’o Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support this Motion with a rider. If the constitutional Bills coming to this House are because of the grandstanding between you and your sister--- If the constitutional Bills coming to this House are because of the...

Sen. Okong’o Mr. Speaker, Sir, I corrected that by saying our sister House and your brother, the Speaker of the other House.

Sen. Okong’o Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was not very keen on that.

Sen. Okong’o Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, a president of a nation must be respected at all costs. President Uhuru is on his second year in office and we need to hear what he says about this Nation, because this nation has several issues. So, Mr....

Sen. Okong’o Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not understand how I can be satisfied with a very lengthy statement which is full of contradictions and counter- contradictions.

Sen. Okong’o Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want the Chairman to clarify when he says that IDPs did not provide identification cards whereas these are documents which were burnt. I would also like him to clarify that monies were sent to the DCCs who have not accounted for it....

Sen. Okong’o Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we are not here for purposes of raising issues for the sake of raising issues. I need sufficient time to respond---
