Johnson Nduya Muthama

Sen. Muthama Bw. Spika, namshukuru Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale kwa kuwasilisha masaibu ya watu wa Kaunti ya Isiolo katika Bunge la Seneti. Nchi hii inaelekea ukingoni; taifa karibu liporomoke. Leo, ni wazi kwamba magavana wote na watumishi wengine wa serikali wanapora na kuharibu mali ya taifa hili. Imechukua miaka nenda miaka...

Sen. Muthama

Sen. MuthamaKenyans that foreigners are coming to assist us with simple killing that took place here around the corner this early is worrying. I do not take this lightly. They involve big entities in small issues.In this country, the police frame charges against innocent Kenyans, arrest them, take them to...

Order, your time is up. However, as we discuss this sensitive issue, let us be careful not to abuse our privileges as Members of this House. Sen. Muthama Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I conclude by saying---

Order, take your seat. Sen. Muthama Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am concluding. I will sit down. I am just giving the last word. We want fairness. We want those people to be prosecuted without delay.

Do you want to add more? (Sen. Muthama spoke off record) Okay, order! That is enough. We appreciate what you have gone through. I also appreciate that you needed more time but do not forget that the current Chair was also accused on the same law that you are being...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is funny to see Sen. Murkomen denying what is so obvious.

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, is he in order to deny what is really obvious? The information came all the way from the UK stating that Isaack Hassan is involved in the highest degree of corruption and he is defending him. Is he in order?

Sen. Muthama(Laughter)(Laughter)

Sen. Muthama Sen. Kisasa, hoja ya nidhamu kutoka kwa Sen. Muthama ni kwamba umewaita waathiriwa hao wakimbizi wa kisisasa ilhali jina linalotumika ni wakimbizi wa kindani au waathiriwa wa ghasia za uchaguzi wa 2007. Kulingana naye, umelitumia jina hilo kimakosa. Wewe unawaomba waridhiwe vilivyo ilhali yeye anasema hawa si wakimbizi...

Sen. Muthama Bw. Spika wa Muda, nafikiri mwenzangu alikuwa anamaanisha waathiriwa waliopata hasara kutokana na ghasia za uchaguzi. Hata hivyo, watu hao waliathiriwa kwa sababu za kisiasa.

Sen. Muthama

Sen. Muthama Bw. Spika wa Muda, Kiswahili ni lugha ngumu kwa Sen. Elachi. Rais ni mgeni katika Bunge na hakuna Mbunge anastahili kuadhibiwa kwa kufanya kazi yake bungeni kwa sababu mgeni yuko pale. Ikiwa katika historia yetu, tunaanza mambo kama haya, basi, nchi hii inarudi nyuma katika mipango yake ya...

What is your point of order, Sen. Elachi?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is my friend, the Senator for Machakos, in order to say that the President would have told the Speaker to let the Members demonstrate yet he knows very well that with our new constitutional dispensation, he is a visitor? He can...

Nakuongeza dakika mbili na nusu. Sen. Muthama Asante sana, nakushukuru. Sen. Muthama sijaketi, nataka kutoa ombi langu la mwisho katika taifa hili. Ninasema kama mwanachama wa Mrengo wa Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) ambaye nilikubali shingo upande uamuzi wa Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Uhalifu. Ninatangaza hapa leo kwamba labda...

Order, Sen. Muthama. You Sen. Muthamaonly thing they cannot steal is the sun because they cannot hide it.(Laughter) Order! I order that the last phrase or sentence be expunged. If you need to discuss the character of the Head of State, you know the procedure. (Loud consultations) Order, I have...

Sen. Muthama

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In proper parliamentary practice certain words should not be taken to have little meaning. There is something called hyperbole, where you make an extreme exaggeration to make a point. Then, there is something called histrionic hyperbole; when you become...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, may I remind the Chair about Standing Orders. It is not about words, but the conduct. Neither the person of the President nor the Speaker’s conduct can be commented upon in the House without a substantive Motion. So, the Speaker’s is the conduct, but the President,...

you look at the hierarchy of institutions and their authority, the legislature is superior to the President.Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg that the Chair do not take us to the old days. When retired President Moi used to sit in the House, we used to talk about him and...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In proper parliamentary practice certain words should not be taken to have little meaning. There is something called hyperbole, where you make an extreme exaggeration to make a point. Then, there is something called histrionic hyperbole; when you become more extreme...

Sen. Muthama

Sen. Muthama Very well. I think I will bring the debate to a closure.

However, Article 132 (c) says:- March 30, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

the nation ---” Not before the address to the nation. That is exactly what you want the President to do; to give you the report before the address to the nation. That is not what the Constitution says. Maybe we should add this later by having some clauses that may...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I sought a statement on 25th March, 2016---

Sen. Muthama I stand guided, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Security. It has been ready for the last ten days. I have been given the answers. It was not on the Order Paper. Kindly, allow him to respond.

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, I most sincerely wish to thank the Chairman for the response. However, I am not satisfied with the answers.First of all, for the Chairperson to say that the Government is not aware that these things have been happening and police have been harassing people is...

Conclude, Sen. Muthama. Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me conclude. If you look at these answers here, the issue is just the distance that the people had to walk from their areas to Machakos, to present their petitions and complaints to the Governor.That is why they are being arrested....

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can see even from the Chairman himself that he is not persuaded from the answers he is giving. Can the Chair go back and bring a substantive report based on the issues which were raised in this statement? This is because we are not...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, the motorcycles which are kept at the police station are not two; they are nine. From 27th February, 2016, the motorcycles are lying at the police station. The police have never charged anyone. What other clear evidence does the Chair need to be given to...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not satisfied with the answers that were brought by the Chair. I request the Speaker to order the Chair to bring a satisfactory Statement. He never responded to any of the points that were raised. He says in...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, the communication came much later after the Chair had given a ruling that the Statement should be delivered. The consultation was on why the Statement has delayed. This is a serious issue because the Chairman of the NLC has advertised to give free land which...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the Chairman that the advert was done on 16th December, 2015. It is now four months down the line and we need quick action. March 29, 2016 SENATE DEBATES Sen. MuthamaOrder, Sen. Muthama. I thought that the Chairman of the Committee...
