Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also input into this Statement by Sen. Tabitha Mutinda. A few minutes ago, when I walked into the Chamber, my colleague Sen. Sifuna, was very worried that I was wearing green. He thought I am joining FORD-...

Sen Wambua Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the onset and for the record, I am opposed to this Motion. (Sen. Wambua’s Microphone went off) You oppose and then the microphone goes off. I am not opposed to this Motion just for the purposes of opposing. I want the Senate...

Sen. Wambua

Sen. WambuaHon. Senators, I think we are abusing this so-called point of order. Our Standing Orders give reference to when a Senator can stand on a point of order. If you read Standing Order No.98, it tells you when, as a Senator, you can stand on a point of order.However,...

Sen. Wambua

Sen. Wambua Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, this is my humble request. Please, issue a ruling and let the matter rest. There is a bad precedent that is being set in this House. I will never encourage it even from Members on my side. The minute you issue a ruling, whether...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. While I heed to the advice of some of the ranking Members in this House and, of course, accept their apology, I am disturbed by some few issues that I would like to mention. Young and new legislators have been widely mentioned...

Sen. Wakili Sigei, you may proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We will only restore the dignity of this House when we take responsibility for our actions. We will be a sober House when we are responsible even before we take the microphone to speak to anything that we are dealing with in the House....

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand in full support of this Petition by Mr. Too. Truth be told, we do not treat our teachers well. We actually mistreat them. Reading through this Petition, you get the feeling that to a great extent, probably the Kenyan teacher is...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Cherarkey will definitely get some wisdom from us. I mentioned that Senators should be part of the county beneficiary committees.

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, the time is not even on our side. We cannot be prisoners of our conscience. We cannot allow that. The Senator has just asked a question about the time the judgment was being made; a statement of fact. There was a leader who...

Sen. Wambua Hon. Senators, just like Sen. Wambua has observed, we cannot keep on debating the same thing, time and again. Each one of you standing starts with one sentence that “we have got better things to do in this House”, clearly meaning that this matter is of less consequence...

Hon. Senators, just like Sen. Wambua has observed, we cannot keep on debating the same thing, time and again. Each one of you standing starts with one sentence that “we have got better things to do in this House”, clearly meaning that this matter is of less consequence to this...

communication was not ready. I informed my Deputy who was going to Chair that particular day that “kindly, inform the House that the communication is not ready”. If it was ready, the Deputy Speaker, would have read it out. This is because when he occupies this seat, he exercises the...

immediately after to the effect that his hands are tied by the order from the PPT, a number of Senators rose on points of order, notably Sen. Sifuna.He was very elaborate on his point of order. However, if you read that order, it is very clear that the position that...

Hon. Senators, as your Speaker, I am willing to guide you accordingly to be as fair and just as I can. We are in this together. I am not here for the Government nor the Opposition side. I am here for the institution called the Senate.Let us uphold the dignity...

Sen. Wambua Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii. Nachukua fursa hii kuunga mkono taarifa iliyoletwa na Sen. Wambua. Ni ukweli kwamba Serikali imechukulia kwa uzito upanzi wa miti.
