Sen. Wetangula Mr. Speaker, Sir, while my nephew is justified to protest in defence of Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, in keeping with our Standing Orders, I think she was careful not to make a statement of fact. She simply said that she was reliably informed. If the information was incorrect, let...

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Speaker, Sir, before we even get there, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar said that “She was reliably informed that a Senator for Nairobi City County led a delegation of women to New York.” Since this Senate started, we have had two Senators for Nairobi; Sen. Mbuvi, who is now...

Sen. Wetangula Madam Temporary Speaker, Wole Soyinka in his book, the Lion and the Jewel said that a tiger does not proclaim its tigritude; it pounces. This morning, we pounced. We went to court and made our statement. In less than 10 minutes, the judge said that we had raised...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as a large-scale maize farmer, I am distinguished from Sen. Mwaura. I have a lot of interest on this matter. The crux of this issue from both Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and Sen. Wetangula who led the Committee that dealt with the maize issue, is basically the...

Sen. Wetangula Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I cannot and will never support arbitrary behavior by anybody in a position of responsibility. That notwithstanding, gambling is a vice that should never be encouraged in any country or situation. Let me pose a question to the hon. Senators. Sen. Sakaja,...

Sen. Wetangula

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to comment that for the first time since this House was established, a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill introduced and passed in the National Assembly has been referred to this House. This is a step in the right direction. I am now wondering...

Sen. Wetangula(Laughter)

Sen. Wetangula Sen. Ndwiga, what is your point of order? (Laughter) (Laughter)

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

Sen. Ndwiga, what is your point of order?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Bungoma is totally out of order. First of all, he did not find out whether I consulted you which I did. You have clearly ruled that I should not have risen on a point of order. I should have waited for you to give...

With the spirit and effort that you have put in, I allow you to welcome them.

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your magnanimity. Allow me to join you and the rest of the House to welcome students from Nyangwa Secondary School in my County of Embu. The school is one of the oldest education institutions in Embu. I am pleased that today they have...

Sen. Wetangula On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Wetangula Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My distinguished nephew was rowdy. (Laughter) July 3, 2019 SENATE DEBATES 22

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my distinguished nephew, is the Senator for Nairobi. He was engaged in a rowdy manner.

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that we are in a constitutional moment and the Chairmen of the Building Bridges Initiatives (BBI) , that is Sen. Wako and Sen. Haji, are from this House, we must aggressively pursue a constitutional change to restore the position of the Senate as...

Sen. Wetangula Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the distinguished Senator for Kericho County has said, that Petition from a resident of Wajir County would pass for a petition from every county. It is not like the petitioner is calling upon us to legislate that there is absence of...

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the distinguished Senator for Nairobi City County, who is also my nephew. Therefore, he is a distinguished nephew. I thought he would speak about the Dandora eyesore, and the same thing is in Kisumu City. I have a pile of letters from...

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Petition by Mr. Isaac Mugo who is challenging the dominance and oppression of the KTDA and large-scale producers in the tea sector. The Senator for Kericho County should know that you do not have to come from a tea growing area to...
