Mr. Speaker, Sir, I relate with the feeling of the House and also pass my condolences to the family of Mr. Madaga. This is a very sad episode. It has generated a lot of interest, not only on the specific incident, but also on issues touching October 13, 2015 SENATE...

on regulation and enforcement of the constitution which provides for entitlement to free emergency medical care for every Kenyan.I would seek the House to give me two weeks to unearth the whole situation and bring a comprehensive answer.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that many Members have rode on this particular statement to ask for numerous things that are very relevant. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) is on record saying that within a week from Sunday when he was on the interview, they will have done investigations. This young...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is on a statement that I sought sometimes back.

Sen. Hassan You are raising pertinent issues and we should discuss them openly and dispassionately. Unless you are saying that nobody in the Public Gallery should be recognised. That would be wrong because when pupils and students come they go to the Public Gallery, partly because they cannot fit in...

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a University where retired President Kibaki holds very dear. Every time I remind him that there is a graduation day as I will remind him this year, he asks why they are not speeding up. Tell the National Lands Commission...

“We restrict you so that we can correct you.” Other countries have first moved from calling prisons “prisons” to “correctional facilities.” Maybe that is one of the progressive steps that this Committee can discuss; how we want to brand our penal system. Do we want to call them correctional facilities...

Sen. Hassan Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. G.G. Kariuki. I apologise; no ill will. I support this Motion and hope that we can do this before we go on recess although we are overwhelmed by these select committees but we will do our level best.

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I will transmit that information to the Chairperson. I want to reassure Sen. Orengo that on a scale of one to one, Sen. Billow will do a hundred times better than the Senate Majority Leader in tackling this matter. October 1st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in responding to the statement, will the Senate Majority Leader tell the House and the country where the much publicised proceeds of the Euro bond which was US$2 billion or thereabout, has been placed because we understand the proceeds of the Euro bond were banked outside the...

Hon. Senators, I am convinced that this is a matter squarely in the purview of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. The description of that Committee is sufficiently inclusive on all the matters you have raised. Where is the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget? Any...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I notice that we have some guests or students seated in the Public Gallery which is opposite me. Would it be in order for me to ask you to introduce them to us?

Sen. Hassan

Sen. Hassan I have made my own observation on the issue and believe that the matter is now closed. Sen. G.G. Kariuki, is it on the same issue?

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo is not right to pick on Sen. Kanainza’s dress code because if you look at the Standing Orders and the Speaker’s Rules, they are very elaborate on what one can put on. They do not...

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir there are those who came in as students, for example, Sen. Kanainza and there were those of us who went as headmasters. (Laughter) September 23rd, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me more time. I would like to conclude by saying that this is a Government of tenders. If the teachers’ issue was an issue of tenders, the money would have been found the same way they found money for kickbacks in...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that I have to interrupt Sen. Haji. However, his sound equipment could be bad because I cannot hear most of the things he is saying.

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to know the extent of that investigation.
