Sen. Wangari On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Can Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale substantiate the 60 per cent argument? What is the justification of the 60 per cent? Very well! You have been challenged. Sen. Wangari Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will rise to the challenge. I will...

Sen. Wangari Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do.

Sen. Wangari Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join Sen. Musila in congratulating the Governor for taking that route because it a constitutional right under Article 119 of the Constitution which provides that anyone has a right to petition the Senate.

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, I emphasize that this is a very important issue and Parliament - not the Executive - has the mandate to protect the Constitution, and in the process ensure the lives of Kenyans are safeguarded. Where the Executive is engaged in excesses, this House has the...

Sen. Wangari Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also note that in our rules of procedure for this hearing; No.9, we have the leeway. “The Senate may at the request of a county assembly or the governor, invite or summon any person to appear and give evidence before the Senate.”...

Sen. Wangari

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice on these issues. First of all, we are a House of records and precedent. Having sat in one of such Committees, I would take a different view in terms of Sen. Wetangula’s presentations. In the programme; the presentation of...

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a methodology that can be adopted at a personal level by the prosecution. The Counsels for the county assembly have said clearly that they do not intend to actually lead the witness. In fact, they offered and volunteered that they would just want...

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, though I appreciate the frustrations of the Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, I attended the Kamukunji in this House earlier today and we were very categorical that some of these things need to be taken more seriously. We...

Its Report was tabled on 1st December, 2015 and adopted on 3rd December, 2015. My issue was; how far is the implementation of these resolutions?...

Sen. Wangari On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Would it be in order that the Senator first shares the response with me so that I can follow as is the practice of this House? I have not seen the response. When did you get that response?

Sen. Wangari Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would appreciate a few minutes and then with your discretion, we can have it back.

Sen. Wangari Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Kanainza, should go on because it is a short response and I have gone through it.

Sen. Wangari Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry. I was going through the Statement from Sen. Kanainza. The question I had raised in the Committee--- Sen. Wangari, Sen. Dullo has said that the answer is not ready and it has to await the summoning of the Cabinet Secretary. Sen....

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also took an undertaking. When I went to the Ministry, I was told that at that time, they were going to Addis for a meeting. Therefore, they requested to be given time to give us the answers when they come back.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought the good Professor from West Pokot County would have just used his credentials to talk to the young girls. The history that we have about facing Mt. Kenya ---

Why do you call them young girls? They are either young ladies or girls.

Sen. Wangari Sen. M. Kajwang if your intervention was on seconding you now have the chance. However, I want to clarify that flatness cannot qualify an urban centre to be the headquarters. When it rains you should expect a lot of water to stagnate. You can quote all other characteristics,...
