Sen. OrengoMr. 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...

Sen. Orengo

Sen. Orengo That is correct. The only problem is that on your way to that finality, a few other issues had been raised. I agree with you on that. That is a summary. Order, Members! We are still on Statements. I will make a short Communication and then allow the...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, I join my colleagues in requesting that deep thought is put on this matter. May I tell all who care to hear that we are not afraid to consider the reservation of the President, because we are aware that the Executive under this Constitution has every...

Sen. Orengo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the whole issue of IDPs will not be solved as long as there is no criterion for identifying the IDPs or even the situations that creates IDPs. This problem would not be solved in piecemeal. The issue of IDPs revolves around land in this...

Your name is on both sides of the screen; point of order and the other one. Do you want to contribute? Sen. Orengo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just one little point but it is a very pregnant point; not because of the gender of the Chair but the...

Sen. Orengo Senator, please do not try to go into KQ affairs, just stick to the Motion, particularly aware that the inquiry is going on.

Sen. Orengo

Sen. Orengo Mr. Temporary Speaker, sir, I did not stand to debate this Motion. I understand and I am alive to the fact that it is a Procedural Motion and it is also with the Committee and we will get a comprehensive report as we progress. Given the fact that...

Sen. (Dr) Khalwale.

Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to Second this amendment and because this is a procedural matter, I will not have much to say apart from only one point, that Kenya Airways (KQ) , you want to understand the pride of Africa---

Senator, please do not try to go into KQ affairs, just stick to the Motion, particularly aware that the inquiry is going on.

Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. One wants to appreciate the pride of Africa. When you board KQ from Amsterdam, Paris or Heathrow Airport, at that time you are usually home sick. When you see the tail of the beautiful Airbus, you cannot wait to board. Therefore, all of us...

Today, the Jubilee government has closed 20,000 primary and 6,000 secondary schools. Shame on you! Where do you think the people who will work for KQ will come from? You Jubilee, open our schools.I second the amendment that the inclusion of Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. be with effect from 31st...

Sen. Orengo Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fully support the sentiments of Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo and the petition. However, you cannot honour the dead if you cannot honour the living. Yesterday I saw an incident where we were mourning the father of one us and the Speaker of the Senate was...

Sen. Orengo Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we cannot respect your office as the Speaker which is a constitutional office, what about when you leave office? You will be as good as dead. We must begin by recognizing the offices that are there now, so that if Sen. Murkomen comes to...

Sen OrengoSeptember 16th , 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Orengo Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. I think as a nation, for the last 50 years, if there is one thing that Kenyans have agreed on, in all our successive governments, is to give education a priority. So, that in all our financing, in all...

Sen. Orengo Asante Bw. Spika kwa kunipa fursa kuchangia. Ni muhimu kupitisha Hoja hii. Hata hivyo, si vyema ikiwa tutapitisha Hoja muhimu kama hii inayohusu pesa kwenda mashinani ilhali zikifika huko zinatumika vibaya kwa sababu hakuna njia ya kuifuatilia. Sisi, Maseneta, tunaonekana kama mazuzu na watu wasioelewa wanalofanya. Bw. Spika,...

Sen. Orengo Order, Senator! Your time is up! Proceed, Sen. Ong’era. July 30th, 2015 SENATE DEBATES July 30th, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

In order to debate this Motion as a matter of urgent national importance, I think, we should look specifically at what President Obama said. He was appealing...

Sen. Orengo Order, Sen Wetangula. This is not a CORD Motion, but one brought by a CORD Member. However, that does not mean anything in so far as --- The Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Wetangula) : Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not casting aspersions on anybody. - THAT, WHEREAS...

Hon. Senators, the Motion being moved by Sen. Orengo is very important. We have a very important visitor in the President to the United States of America (USA) , coming to the country tomorrow. The Senator for Siaya County, where President Obama has roots, must be heard in silence. Sen....

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Motion is very important to us. It is disheartening that as Sen. Orengo started moving the Motion, a majority of our colleagues across the Floor walked out; I do not know for what reason. Senators like Eng. Muriuki who has a Motion coming immediately after...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senate Minority Leader to behave as if he is a headmaster of a class? We are free to walk out and come back. Quite a number of Senators are out. To me, if a Motion...

Bw. Spika wa Muda, hili ni jambo la kusikitisha sana. Jambo hili linatufanya tuzubae hata tukakosa la kusema. Hii ni kwa sababu mara nyingi tumesikia – katika hii Seneti na mikutano – Wakenya wakizungumza juu ya ukosefu wa amani katika nchi yetu. Tunafaa kuweka siasa kando na kusema ukweli. Ni...
