Moses Masika Wetangula

Sen. Wetangula Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Statement brought by Sen. Seneta because if you read the Kriegler Report, it stated very clearly that elections is not about the day that people go to cast their ballot. It is about the roadmap to elections including...

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are living in very interesting times. When you see the Senate Majority Leader, the distinguished Senator for West Pokot sitting quietly there, it is out of experience. He once walked to Parliament, attended a sitting and the next day, he was not a Member...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will guide Sen. Malalah outside this House on how these things are done---

Order!

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he will be pleased to know that we have dealt with it.

Order, Senator! You know the temptation to blow your own trumpet is great. Sen. Wetangula He is casting aspersions on---

On a point of Order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

What is it, Sen. Malalah?

Sen. Wetangula For a Communication, the Speaker is a conveyor belt, so to speak, conveying a message from elsewhere as is, where is, to the Floor. A Ruling is a reasoned process by the Speaker giving reasons both factual and legal where necessary, on any issue that comes before the...

Sen. Wetangula Indeed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, by the time we adjourned at 12. 30 p.m. I was on the Floor and the Speaker had promised that he would give me an opportunity to finish giving my remarks when we resume at 2.30 p.m. So, whether there will be any...

Sen. Wetangula

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this petition with a caveat. In this country, we have had people who lived in forests as hunters and gatherers.

Sen. Wetangula Fourteen days is for criminal while in civil cases it is 28. You---

Sen. Wetangula Just before that, I acknowledge my distinguished colleagues Sen. Nyamunga and Sen. Faki as lawyers in this House, not to mention the Clerk of the Senate. I should not be selective.

Sen. Wetangula Thank you, distinguished colleague. As I finish, I decry the lack of the Committee on Implementation in this House. We have just passed a verdict that these people be paid their money. This House abolished the Committee on Implementation. It is now going to be left to them...

Sen. Wetangula Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in supporting the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Taita-Taveta because it points to a complex problem that we have.

Sen. Wetangula Okay. We will be on this forever. Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, I have not heard from you. Would you want to add your voice to this?

Sen. Wetangula What is unusual about that? (Laughter) Okay. We will be on this forever. Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, I have not heard from you. Would you want to add your voice to this?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief on this aspect. I need to add that when I was seated next to my friend, Sen. Sakaja, the Senator for Nairobi City County, I spoke to him. I also came to consult my senior, Sen. Wetangula, with regard...

What is unusual about that? (Laughter)

He has come from where he went to do his Master and PhD. Karibu!

Thank you. I hope that your number is not 4CC/64. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to cut the story short on the submission, is there not a way where a private citizen can proceed to court and seriously seek requisite orders December 3, 2019 SENATE DEBATES 41

Sen. Wetangula Only one? The Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Orengo) : What Sen. Wetangula is saying is that it should not be an isolated event. The time is now and we will support his position because it is the position of the House. With the concurrence of the Speaker, I...

Sen. Wetangula

Sen. Wetangula Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the distinguished Senator for Nyandarua for bringing this question and seeking a Statement at this time. We have heard excess rains this year. Even as the rains have caused devastation elsewhere, we also have a silver lining. It should be a...

Sen. Wetangula Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this special dispensation from you for me to make a comment on this CPAIC Report. Bungoma is one of the counties audited and reported in this Report under debate. The regrettable thing is that even as the Committee under the distinguished...

Sen. Wetangula Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me time to contribute to this Motion of Adjournment. I send my condolences, those of my family, the people I represent in Bungoma and the FORD Kenya (FORD-K) Party to the people of West Pokot County. West Pokot is a poor...

Sen. Wetangula One minute is too little.

Sen. Wetangula Madam Temporary Speaker, when Americans are killed in the countries that I have mentioned, you will never see blood and dead bodies on American television screens. Where are the morals of our country? We cannot have this kind of recklessness by people who do nothing but live on...
