Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. An impression is being created that if you sit in a Committee, be it the RBC or any other Committee and a decision is made, you cannot then come to this House and object to it. Is it in order...

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to oppose this Motion on account of the fact that we need to be better organized as a Senate---

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, I rise to oppose---

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As you consider your ruling, it would also be nice to set a tradition that we should allow a Member on his feet to finish before one raises that kind of a point of order. In fact---

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand guided. I rise to oppose this Motion on account of the fact that the Senate now needs to start planning its business more thoroughly. I particularly beseech the leadership of the House to take the business of this House more seriously....

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My clarity from the Chairperson is that I did not quite get the reasons why South Africa imposed such apartheid type of visa requirements on a black population. Secondly, I heard the Chairperson say that they were going to reciprocate if these measures...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought that I should do the honours of service to Sen. Leshore. When you told him to take note of Standing Order No.84, he may not have referred to it. It states:- “No Senator shall read a speech...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking your direction. Given that these are 29 Members, I assume that there will be another 29 Members of the National Assembly. That would bring the number to 58. Is that a Committee of the House of Senate?

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On a similar note, there is no single question on Statement (a) to (g) that has been answered today, on account that the various Committee Chairs have requested for more time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have made very strong pronouncements...

Order! I repeat the third time, Sen. Hassan. Please, grow up. Sen. HassanAn hon. Senator: Yes!(Applause) It is totally disorderly when a Member of this Senate stands up with a camera in the House and starts taking pictures. That can only be done by juveniles. This is a House to...

Carry on, Sen. Orengo.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have lost track, but I want to say that this is a House of honour and dignity. Therefore, the Committee that we are creating should ensure that the catering services in this House measure up to the status of Parliament; that is, the National Assembly...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. This is supposed to be one of the agenda activities that the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) should be dealing with. The two Houses are equally represented. We are forming a Committee which consists of our Members. So, they should not...

Very well! There are no other Members interested to discuss Motion. I will, therefore, put the question. (Question put and agreed to)

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Sen. (Dr.) Zani. You request is reasonable. Therefore, I rule that the question be deferred to such a time and day which will be determined by the Speaker in consultation with the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) . (Putting of the Question on the Bill deferred)...

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to speak to this important Motion. When a Motion on this issue was tabled in the Senate last week on Monday, unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to be here, because I had travelled with some of my...

Sen. Hassan Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to oppose the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.5 of 2015) . In English, they say that no good house is built on a bad foundation. No good house ever will. Madam Temporary Speaker, we are here to defend the interests...

Sen. Hassan You are a very gender sensitive Senator who agitates for women rights. Last time, I saw you agitating for women rights. I have not seen you pronouncing very clearly on the one-third gender rule. However, sooner than later, we will pronounce ourselves on the matter. Mr. Temporary Speaker,...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rose to speak at

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, my gratitude to the Kenyans who are demonstrating more and more courage to invoke the mandate of this Senate, particularly in matters of oversight. I think they acknowledge the gravitas that the Senate has. I think I have seen the temptation that Sen. Khalwale has...

The Message is issued pursuant to the provisions of Article 96 of...

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, surely, as the Senate we should have the patience to listen to someone reading a document of six pages.

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the spirit of being fast, energetic and young, I am almost done with page 3.

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we are developing extremely good traditions in the Senate. I beg to continue with the Message.

Sen. Hassan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will read the Message as fast as I can in the interest of my colleagues. May 21st, 2015 SENATE DEBATESMay 21st, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Hassan Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. Let me also add my voice to congratulate those who have decided to pursue a constitutional path towards petitioning this Senate. It is an accountability mechanism that is provided within the Constitution and I think that every Kenyan is well within the purview...

Sen. Hassan On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That particular day when Sen. Dullo came into the Chamber, she was very furious and protesting about something. She said that she would not vote. Could that have been a protest?
