Order, Sen. Keter! You can still discuss with the Senate Majority Leader. Sen. Keter Mr. Speaker, Sir, why can we not postpone it until Tuesday?

Order, Sen. Keter! I do not think that we are going to give the political party leadership a public forum to discuss their issues. In fact, that is why we designated the seat of the Senate Majority Leader, and you are in the very good neighbourhood of your own leader....

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Now that you have directed the Deputy Senate Majority Leader to consult the Senate Majority Leader, and I am not part of what could be considered the leadership of the House, could I suggest that considering that most of our lady Senators...

Sen. Keter(Applause) February 26, 2014 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Keter Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. First, I want to thank the Members who were in the two committees. I believe Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Okong’o have done us proud in terms of delivering their...

Sen. Keter I just wanted to inform Sen. Kagwe that in the Constitution, the state is obligated to promote the development and use of indigenous languages. It is clear that the use of that word which I understand very well, nowhere can it be better promoted than in the Senate....

Sen. Keter

Sen. Keter Thank you very much, Sen. Orengo. I am indeed advised and informed. As far as my brother Sen. Murkomen is concerned, I used two words; I said age and wisdom. The one that he does not have is age. I dare say that if Sen. Murkomen had no...

Sen. Orengo.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We would not be discussing this Motion if Sen. Wetangula was not re-elected. In winning back the seat, he did so with an overwhelming majority. The other thing that pleases me immensely is that I did not see any Senator from the Opposite side...

Sen. Keter Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to say that I had the privilege of serving in the Ministry of Energy for two years and I am also in the Committee on...

The first one is that we have had a sitting on St. Valentine’s Day when people are given roses and the proverbial rose...

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion touching on the impeachment of the Governor of Embu. My heart goes out to the people of Embu because when they elected their Governor, they thought that they had elected someone who would...

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. I think the Constitution is clear that the Governors are the Chief Executive Officers of the counties and ignorance of the law is no defence. Governors must take responsibility in their counties. As I recommend for the exit of...

not receive quarterly reports from the County Treasury. The revenue collection receipt cash book is also not maintained. This is unfortunate. The Governor must take full responsibility for that.The finding of the Committee is clear. The Committee has substantiated three out of the five charges. We appointed this Committee and...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I support the Motion.

Shukrani, Bw. Spika. Yale niliyo yasikia kutoka kwa viongozi wa Kamati tuliyoiunda ni kama hadithi za Alfu Lela U Lela. Mengine ni zaidi ya hekaya za abunuasi kwa sababu kuwapa wananchi mbegu za kupanda zisizo ota ni kama vile abunuasi alimulikiwa na mwanga wa tochi kwamba apate joto la baridi....

The Order Paper for today contains among other things a Motion of Adjournment of the Senate until Tuesday, 25th February, 2014 which I will...

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

Sen. Keter Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is related to that.

Sen. Keter Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is our first time in this new Chamber and we were used to the other one where you would cross without necessarily doing what is supposed to be done. So, you can, at least, give a leeway.

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

Sen. Keter Mr. Speaker, Sir, did you hear what Sen. Wako said, by mentioning Sen. Omar; that the fact that he is around here, rest assured there are no strikes outside? Was he suggesting that he is the leader of strikes or demonstrations outside Parliament? December 5, 2013 SENATE DEBATES...

Sen. Wako?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Chairperson of the Committee for the steps he has taken because where there is a sort-of-conflict between our duties as a legislature, that takes priority. But can I just ask you also, maybe, to slightly amend your November 27, 2013 SENATE REPORTS
