Sen. Orengo Senator, your time is up. Sen. Sijeny.

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is Sen. Elachi in order to try and link the fact that Kenya has hosted refugees for the last 20 or 30 years to this escalation that we have witnessed in the last 10 years? Is she in order to...

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. The distinguished Senator for Nandi County, whom I really respect, especially when it comes to procedure and decorum, just crossed the Table here when he should go right up to the Bar. More importantly, I saw the Deputy Speaker...

Under what Standing Order, Sen. Orengo? April 1, 2015 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman. Did you notice that as soon as your attention was being drawn to the misdemeanor by the Deputy Speaker, he majestically walked out? Could you allow me to name...

I take it that he has corrected. Order, Sen. Sang. This is not a market place in Kapsabet. (Laughter)

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman. Did you notice that as soon as your attention was being drawn to the misdemeanor by the Deputy Speaker, he majestically walked out? Could you allow me to name him for undermining you? (Laughter)

Sen. Orengo

Sen. Orengo On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just wondering as to procedure under Article 132 of the Constitution, which covers the functions of the President in relation to the Presidential Address, which as everybody knows, was given last week. But under Article 132 (1)...

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Anything that is put before this House must meet constitutional test. You cannot, for example, elect somebody to Parliament and before gazettement you say that publication to the Kenyan Gazette need not be prior or after. The only way...

Sen. Orengo Hon. Senators, I believe that the reason we went on a short break has been fulfilled. We have resumed with the next order. Next Order, please! (Loud consultations) March 31, 2015 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Orengo requirement; that now that you have given us the latitude to debate it...

Thank you, Sen. Orengo. First of all, I want to assure you that as far as I am concerned and as the Senate Majority Leader has said, I am satisfied that you have raised the point in good faith and in my mind, I have no doubt at all. In...

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. For the purposes of record of this House, the word “nigger” is not a very good word to use against our brothers in the United States of America (USA) . I think that everytime there has been a speech...

Sen. Orengo Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, quite apart from what we are engaged in at the moment, I just wanted to draw your attention to Standing Order No.94, because sometimes the way we handle this issue is not in the manner in which it is set out in the Standing...

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would not have risen on a point of order had it not been for the fact that Sen. Khaniri brought up this issue. In response to that point of order, Sen. Hassan has said that it was Sen. Musila...

Sen. Orengo, you are completely out of order. (Laughter)

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you see the orderlies crossing the Floor while a distinguished Senator like me froze while you were on your feet? Is this not a demonstration that you have not taught your orderlies very well or am I wrong in...

Sen. Orengo

Sen. Orengowell how the communities, counties and the national Government will benefit from this Bill. For a very long time, this country has gone through painful experiences in terms of conflicts that arise from the resources that are found in our counties. This is the best solution. We have had...

Sen. Orengo

Sen. Orengo Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When the proposal of the ceilings came into this House, it was meant to assist the executive and the county assembly. But I think what went wrong beyond that is that the CRA and the Controller of Budget have now continued to put...

Order, Sen. Orengo! In appreciating Sen. Boy Juma Boy, you have also mixed the languages. Let me take the last three Senators; we will have Sen. Madzayo, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o and Sen. Elachi. Sen. Sang, are you still interested?

Sen. Orengo Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed when I read the newspapers on Sunday, I was saddened because I knew very well that if there is one thing the Rules and Business Committee of the Senate does is to look at all Bills and to prioritize them accordingly. Plagiarism is a...

does not know that the whole of last week their Committee Members have been hanged and shamed by many Kenyans because of corruption issues that have been arising? In order to divert the attention of Kenyans, their leader shamelessly begins to demean the Senate. This is something that this House...

Order, Senator!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that we lead Kenyans as per the mandate we were given. To mislead Kenyans is an offence and that person must take responsibility. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed when I read the newspapers on Sunday, I was saddened because I knew very well that if there is one thing the Rules and Business Committee of the Senate does is to look at all Bills and to prioritize them accordingly. Plagiarism is a crime and...

I will allow Sen. Haji to have the last intervention by virtue of his seniority and neighborhood.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have not read the letter that most of my colleagues are talking about. However, going by what I have heard, the Speaker of the National Assembly saying, there could be an officiated plan of misunderstanding between March 17, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

this House and the other one. I heard with my own ears what he spoke about over the radio. He said that they would bring all the Bills here for the Senate to consider.Secondly, he told the Members of the National Assembly that there was no point in you and...

Hon. Members, this is a matter that I really did not want to talk about. I was equally surprised by what I saw in the media over the weekend. When I made a Communication on Thursday, it was with reference to various matters canvassed by the Senator for Kakamega County,...

According to Article 2, we have a responsibility to defend the Constitution. Article 1 gives Parliament and legislators the powers to conduct business according to the Constitution. Therefore, to operate otherwise is outside this Constitution. I have heard you, and will definitely make a proper Communication because I think that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want to congratulate you especially on the final note, about people searching their souls. In the same spirit, could we request you to walk an extra mile and forgive your brother for maybe he knows not what he has done?

Sen. Orengo

Sen. Orengo Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I also join my fellow colleagues in passing my condolences to the people of Mandera County. I also appreciate this Motion of Adjournment by the Senator for Mandera. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a maxim that I have...

Sen. Orengo Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me make a general point on this issue that is very important. Normally, we are put under pressure when it comes to the question of division and allocation of revenue. We play a very important role in so far as the division...

Sen. Orengothe Committee level, we have looked at very many documents and there are minutes for those meetings. Therefore, what I would propose as a way forward on this matter is that rather than virtually, metaphorically, kill the Chairperson of the Committee; rather than go through all that process, would...

Sen. Orengo

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I entirely agree with your ruling, but just for purposes of orderliness in the House. I wonder whether the Chair would allow the Members, in matters of this nature, to ventilate whether an issue concerns counties; to give people...

Sen. Orengo Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was very clear in my English. I said “direct inspector” courtesy of his uncle. If he cares to know, a “direct inspector” means the youth who after Form Six were not being subjected to breaking their sweat. There were many Form Six leavers at...

Sen. Orengo, I invite you to also check my screen. (Sen. Orengo approached the Chair to check the Speaker’s screen and then walked back to his seat) Sen. Orengo, indeed, you have confirmed with the Chair. We will consider, but for now Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has the Floor.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just drawing the attention of the country to the fact that this particular officer; a patriotic Kenyan, must really be lucky. He is lucky in the sense that when he joined the Kenya Police Service, he did so as a Direct Inspector. He never broke...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is he in order to say that the candidate became an Inspector courtesy of Rtd. Brig. Boinett, when he had the qualifications and among other Kenyans, he was interviewed and appointed as a cadet inspector? Is he in order to impute improper...
