Sen. Olekina Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have nothing to say. The Senate Majority Leader should make sure that it is here on time. We have been waiting for this Statement for quite some time now.

Sen. OleKina Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been waiting for this Statement for quite some time. The Senate Majority Leader should push for it. If he can give us an indication on when this Statement would be ready, that would help us.

Sen. OleKina Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Olekina Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I think it is standard practice in this House that before a Statement is issued, I should be given an advance copy so that I can be party to it. I do not think the Senate Majority Leader...

Sen. Olekina thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I remember very well when we were in Naivasha during the retreat, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) , Treasury, stated very clearly that there is no reason as to why we should have pending bills in counties because money is disbursed as per the...

Sen. Olekina Thank you, Mr. Speaker, but this is very relevant because we have problems in counties. If this money is not released, then, what exactly are we doing here? Then, you say that we are going on a recess for three weeks. The Treasury says there is no reason...

Sen. Olekina On a point of order,Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is important for us to be serious about our work. Earlier on, I raised a point of order at the wrong time. However, I now rise on a point of order on a serious note. The Senate Majority Leader ought...

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not happy with the answer because it is sad that the Senate Majority Leader would lie to the public that he knows that the two leaders are safe. It is important for the public to know that when we request for statements and...

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a difference between the truth and proper language. When something is the truth, you state it as it is. This is because the question is---

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of the respect of this House, I will withdraw and apologise. However, let us not have double talk. This is because I raised a concern about certain issues yesterday and I remember being told somewhere that the person did not mean it. Anyway, I...

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the importance the Senate Majority Leader has given to this matter. I just want him to assure the people of Narok, Esoit and Kimintent Ward that they will not be in danger during the upcoming elections. This is because we lost lives in...

Sen. Olekina On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No. 94 which is on responsibility for statement of fact. I would like to request Sen. Sakaja to substantiate his claim. I have listened to him talk even when I was coming in. He has said that the former Prime...

Sen. Olekina On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir!

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the respect of this House, it is absolutely ludicrous for a hon. Member to allege that the former Prime Minister, whom we respect a lot, has asked people to go and show us their underwear. What he needs to do is to not just...

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. It is imperative that we take serious consideration in setting up these committees because our people are suffering. In the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, for example, we have a huge human- wildlife conflict. We also have a problem with our...

Sen. Olekina Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a couple of Statements. These Statements would probably go to a different Committee but I have decided to direct them to the Senate Majority Leader. October 10, 2017 SENATE DEBATES DEMONSTRATION BY UON STUDENTS

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, two weeks is such a long period. Parents have paid tuition fees and there is no reason as to why a public university should be closed. I request to get this Statement before we go on recess on Thursday because this Senate Calendar is designed...

Sen. Olekina I said UoN and Mathare.

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing order No. 46 2 (b) to seek a statement from the Senate Majority Leader regarding the withdrawal of security officers attached to the former Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga and the former Vice President, Hon. Stephen Kalonzo...

Sen. Olekina Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am actually baffled by the Senate Majority Leader for trivializing this matter. This is not a joke. This relates not only to one particular person, but former state office holders. It is not in the prerogative of one body to determine when a particular...

Sen. Olekina On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last week I requested for a statement from the Senate Majority Leader on the issue of security at the Esoit, Naibor and Kimintet ward. It was supposed to be given today.

Sen. OlekinaThank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. Any law that is made under the sun will always be repealed and amended. That is the nature of law. As Senators, we should not be apologetic for the reason why we are here. Under Article 1(2)...

argument may not be inaccurate. Proceed. Sen. Olekina Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for taking them back to school. I want the people of Narok County to realise that when the Supreme Court delivered its judgment, it was very clear. It was clear that the IEBC was given 60...

Sen. Olekina

Sen. Olekina Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before I respond to the Hon. Member, who is also my good friend, Eng. Maina, I would like to know under which Standing Order he is raising his point of order, so that I can substantiate what I was saying. Hon Member, if I...

Sen. Olekina Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you should have been generous enough to give me one minute. Given that you have given me 30 seconds, I just want to conclude by urging honourable Members to remember when they go home that this is a September 28, 2017 SENATE DEBATES Sen....

Sen. Olekina

Sen. Olekinatake this opportunity to interact and ensure that we come together.Finally, on amendment laws, we want to take this opportunity to invite our brothers to use this time to go and reflect; other than going for mass action, they should use this opportunity to ensure that they submit their...

Sen. Olekina Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also want to support this Motion and urge my colleagues that as we go back to our counties, we should preach peace and unity and also show a good example to our young people. I am also wishing them all the...

Sen. Olekina Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.46 (2) (b) to seek a Statement from the Senate Majority Leader regarding the recent and frequent clashes between the members of the Maasai community in Esoit-Naibor and members of the Kipsigis Community in Kirindoni area of Kimintet Ward...

Sen. Olekina Madam Temporary Speaker, two weeks is way too long given that people are dying.

Sen. Olekina Madam Temporary Speaker, could the Senate Majority Leader give me the exact date because two days ago over ten people were killed. We were able to recover only eight bodies. The more we wait, the more the damage. Could he give an undertaking on the particular action that...

Sen. Olekina A point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to appear in this honourable House wearing a hat? That is not the right attire. I hope you will take action. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Olekina On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Kenyans out there are watching. When I listen to Sen. Linturi trying to interpret the Constitution wrongly, I get shocked. He stood and interpreted Article 138 selectively. I remind the Senator that sometimes age does not only affect one...
