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

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, following your Communication and a matter that you alluded to, we were conscious of the fact that Kenya was not represented at the Pan African Parliament Assembly. Whereas you have given us a commitment that you will conclude the matter in due course, we know...

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Kenyan society, we silently acknowledge the good things. But I believe the Communication was quite instructive in terms of expression of solidarity. The Pan African Parliament did assert that they realized the role of the Senate in delivering devolution. Equally, they made an...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. I want to acknowledge the Mover of this Motion, the Senator for Kirinyaga, Sen. Karaba. This Motion captures the spirit of moving towards modernisation and developing of our metropolitan cities. If you look at some of the cities in this...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, that was not the intention of what I was trying to say. If you do recall – because you nodded your head in approval – the fire at Nakumatt Downtown and there was traffic jam for almost eleven hours from the point the fire started,...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. Hassan Let him table the documents because this is of utmost importance.

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I just wanted to ask whether he is in order because the operative word in this Motion is Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) , that is, internally displaced Kenyan citizens and not refugees.

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, first and foremost, I want to appreciate the Mover of this Motion, and rise to support the Motion. If you recall the history of the Somali people in this country, I have read in history books that just before Kenya got Independence, there was a...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, I disagree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s argument that merely the presence of people who are non-Kenyans in western contributed to insecurity. There are so many other Ugandans who are doing productive work in this country. Equally, the Uganda Government has allowed many Kenyans to work...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to support the amendment, but I just want to make a couple of observations that have characterized this discussion. When you see a country where security has become a major focal point, we must know that that country risks the fear of...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, this is about learning. This is a paradigm shift from what is emerging globally. All the greatest writers in matters of security and human rights and state craft will tell you that we have to abandon those ways where security was always the preserve of...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, I was just trying to broaden and I am really grateful for your intervention. This is a global issue and it must be positioned in the global context. Who are the key players in security matters in the global context who have got us into...

Sen. Hassan Okay, I will revert to English. Madam Temporary Speaker, you have to realize that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale quoted the Swahilis. In that context, I think I broadly fall in that political group called “Swahilis”. So, time and again, I feel that I am inspired by that very language...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, in terms of military strategy, Sen. Elachi has just suggested that corruption allowed the terrorists to avoid being captured and that they escaped from Westgate because of corruption. Is Sen. Elachi in order to make such grave insinuations that corruption played a part in the...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, is it right for Sen. Orengo to suggest that the biggest contribution to this country that Sen. Kajwang has made to this country are these three words? (Laughter)

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senator from Kakamega indicated that this Senate is gagging him. I am part of this Senate and from a personal point of view, I do not remember telling him not to talk about certain things. Is he in...

Sen. Hassan Bw. Naibu Spika, nasimama kuunga mkono Hoja hii, kwamba majukumu ya taasisi ya KeRRA yapelekwe haraka katika mamlaka ya serikali za kaunti. Bw. Naibu Spika, namshukuru sana ndugu yetu ambaye ni Seneta wa Kajiado, Bw. Peter Mositet, kwa kuleta Hoja hii. Hii ni kwa sababu tunajua kwamba kama...

Sen. Hassan Hoja ya Nidhamu, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Nataka kujua umetumia kifungu gani katika nidhamu zetu za Seneti, yaani, Standing Orders, kwa wewe kutoka kwenye kiti chako na kukaa katika kiti hicho cha Uspika.

Sen. Hassan Hoja ya Nidhamu, Bi. Spika wa Muda. Je, Kiongozi wa Seneti wa Wengi yuko katika nidhamu kusema ametumia nafasi yake na nguvu zake za kazi iliyopita kumkabidhi Sen. Kagwe Udaktari wa Filosofia? Naona hafai kuipotosha Seneti hii katika jambo kama hilo.

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank you for this opportunity, to equally join hands with our friend and colleague, Sen. Mutahi Kagwe, in this well-thought-out Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, since the inception of most of the county governments, I do know that they have been grappling with...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, I think Sen. Anyang’-Nyong’o has disrupted the flow of my debate and wrongly accused Sen. Wako of not seeing. I think Sen. Wako usually reads that Constitution. I have borrowed it once and it has a lot of stick-ons and underlines on a lot of...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, on that light moment, I wish to support this Motion. I can tell you, when the Professor comes up with a few remarks time and again, you could actually lose your train of thought, but I have remained steady despite that disruption. I beg to...

Sen. Hassan Asante, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii ili niunge mkono pendekezo hili la kumleta Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Junior katika Kamati ya Maswala ya Kisheria na Haki za Kibinadamu. Bw. Spika, Kamati hii ni ya watu wazito. Mwenyekiti, Sen. Amos Wako, alikuwa Mkuu wa Sheria kwa karibu miaka 20....

Sen. Hassan Mimi ni goal keeper! Kazi yangu ni kuhakikisha Kamati hii haivuji, ikivuja mimi niko hapo kunyaka. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Junior, ukija, unakuja katika miamba ya kisheria. Tunakukaribisha kwa kuleta mwongozo. Nilikuwa nikishirikiana na Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Junior tulipokuwa katika Tume ya Haki za Kibinadamu. Ametuwakilisha katika East African...

Senators: Digitali! September 18, 2013 SENATE DEBATES Disclaimer: (Laughter) Sen. Hassan Bw. Spika, cha kuhuzunisha ni kwamba mfuasi mkubwa wa chama cha...

Sen. Hassan Most obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Hassan Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Baadhi yetu tumeamua katika zamu hii tuendeleze Lugha ya Kiswahili ili tuijenge. Mwanzo kabisa nimesimama hapa kuunga Hoja hii mkono ambayo imeletwa na Seneta wa Busia. Yeye ni Mwenyekiti wa Kamati yetu ya Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Kuna watu walisema wakati...

Sen. Hassan Bw. Spika wa Muda, nilisema kwamba tukiwalipa watu mapato duni, watakuwa wanaendeleza sera za wizi. Sikuita mtu mwizi.

In those demolitions, sometimes there are...
