Hon. Murungi Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the proposed amendment by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Deleting those words makes the Co-operative Societies Act clearer.

Sen. Murungi Order, Sen. Murungi. I thought that mobile phones are normally off in the plane.

Hon. Murungi Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to echo the sentiments of my colleagues. Many Kenyans are out there in foreign jails. This is a good opportunity for them to come back home. In some of the countries, Kenyans are suffering in detention, especially in South...

Sen. Murungi On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was suggesting that in order to save on time because we have four votes before us, if you call Meru County I vote on all the four Bills. This is so that we do not take a lot...

Sen. Murungi

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Prof.) Lesan for this request. We participated in a stakeholders’ conference where the issues that the Senator had raised before the House were addressed by the Cabinet Secretary in the same conference. It was resolved at the conference that the Cabinet Secretary...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Cabinet Secretary who stepped aside was very familiar with the issues that the task force was to deal with, because he was part of the discussion from the beginning. He himself had taken very personal interest in that matter and we thought it wise...

Sen. Murungi Sen. Okongo will speak first then Sen. Kagwe and then Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, in that order. July 21st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Murungi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Motion. (Applause)

Sen. Murungi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had requested for a Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations on my county’s border dispute with Isiolo County. I know that he has now gotten an improved answer. Is it in order for him to...

Sen. Murungi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is time for my colleague, the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and International Relations to give the Statement.

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Affairs brought a statement to this House regarding the boundary dispute between Meru and Isiolo counties, but it was incomplete. It did not address the issues that had been requested for. You ordered...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my earlier request, I had mentioned that we were suspecting that the national Government was refusing to assist in the resolution on the boundary between Meru and Isiolo counties. We had given a very specific programme which had been agreed on between the leadership...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is obvious that the Government does not want to move with speed to resolve these boundary disputes. In our case, we provided the surveyors and the resources. All we wanted was some security supervision for the boundary to be marked through GPS....

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, could I make a simple request that the Chairman and I visit the Cabinet Secretary so that I can hear from the horse’s mouth why he cannot do this very simple exercise which we had agreed on with his predecessor Cabinet Secretary, Ole Lenku? It...

Sen. Murungi We will now go to Division, to vote for Clauses 2, 3, 4 as amended, 5, Title and Clause 1. - THAT, clause 4 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new clause 12B by– (a) deleting paragraph (c) appearing in sub-clause (2) ; Sen. Murungi Mr....

Sen. Murungi Hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Naibu Spika. Nataka kuuliza kitu kimoja, nimemsikia Seneta wa Vihiga akisema kwamba “kitu chake” hakifanyi kazi. Tunataka afafanue zaidi ni kitu gani kilicho mbele yake hivi sasa ambacho hakifanyi kazi.

Sen. Murungi(Laughter)

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am on record informing the House that we “devolved” our functions. We agreed that Sen. Ndiema, will be the one who will be handling all the Statements coming to the House. Since he is not here, I can respond on his behalf. We have...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did you just hear Sen. Murungi say that he is demanding separate facilities because he does not want us to mix wazees with their grandchildren? Is he imputing that I have grandchildren?

Sen. Hassan, have you ever heard of figurative and satirical language? If you have never heard, go and look for the meanings of those two words. Proceed, Sen. Murungi. Sen. Murungi Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. With those few words, I beg Members of Parliament to support this Motion....

Now we know who the queen of Abagusii is. However, in this House, we know her as Sen. Ong’era.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to second the Motion. First of all, I want to commend the Mover of this Motion, the distinguished Senator for Meru and the king of Meru. As you are aware, a healthy body, mind and stomach equals to a...

Before I propose the Question, I know members of the Press will be so much interested in this number. Let it be noted that the Senate has had to select 29 Members because they have to select an equal number as has been selected by the National Assembly. Those are...

Hon. Senators, remember that I had given some other order earlier that comes into effect at 5.00 p.m.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I feel obliged to speak on this particular Motion. I will not take a lot of time because what is coming is of utmost importance. I support the formation of this Committee. I want to say that it can be done. The reason I am beginning...

Sen. Hassan, what are you trying to do? You are becoming disorderly. Please, grow up!

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you cannot say those types of things to me. You cannot tell me to grow up. Use other means to talk to people. July 7th, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Order! Sen. Hassan, please, grow up!

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you cannot tell me that.

Hon. Murungi Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute. From the outset, I want to appreciate the efforts made by Hon. Sakaja by introducing this Bill to this House. I do not want to overemphasise that one of the problems that we are undergoing, as...
