Senators, we need to dispense of this point of order so that we proceed on more serious matters. For the few months I have presided over this House, if you noticed, I have been lenient and patient to the extent that some of you have developed a habit of engaging...

Sen. Wambua

Sen. Wambua

Sen. Wambua Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hate to disrupt the flow of her thoughts. She has raised an issue and because this is a House of records, every Senator is responsible for the accuracy of the statements that they make on the Floor.

What is your point of order, Sen. Wambua? Sen. Orwoba, please take your seat. Sen. Wambua Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hate to disrupt the flow of her thoughts. She has raised an issue and because this is a House of records, every Senator is responsible for the accuracy of the...

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have been fully informed. Allow me to also put this across. You have seen the manner in which this gender, the female gender – the women senators, have to fight in this House. It becomes war in this House for them to even be called...

What is your point of order, Sen. Sifuna?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I listened to you carefully when you read the charges against the governor. I do not recall any accusation against her based on her gender. I would want to understand where Sen. Orwoba is getting the impression that the question of the impeachment of the Governor of...

Sen. Orwoba, I know how passionate you are on gender issues, but please do not bring it up when it is not. Proceed.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that the matters that are arising in this case are gender sensitive issues. I honestly would like to invite the House to a capacity building on gender mainstreaming. Gender sensitive issues means that the issue might appear black and white to the male Senators....

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sorry for interrupting the process, but I had to do it because this is an important matter. For the record, I heard you say that you are giving the results to the Chief Serjeant-at-Arms to consolidate. I thought the Returning Officer for our...

Sen. Wambua Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Allow me to join the colleagues who have risen to support this Motion by the distinguished Senator from Tana River. The argument for dams, at least where I come from has always been to try and mitigate the effects of flooding downstream....

Sen. Wambua

Sen. WambuaMr. Speaker, Sir, since this message does not seem to be understood; I must say this on the Floor of this Senate. I fear that in a few days, the conflict that we have always tried to avoid may eventually happen. When that happens, it will be difficult for...

Sen. Hezena. You may proceed. If your microphone is not working, you can come to the Dispatch Box.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. The people of Kitui are legitimate citizens of this country. The same applies to the people of Samburu County and other parts of the rural marginalized parts of Kenya. As such, they all deserve protection from the Government. Like the Liberian...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion that has been moved by Sen. Wambua of Kitui County. The insecurity situation witnessed in Kitui County and other rural parts of this country is worrying. The man that Sen. Wambua referred to is my relative. Mutia Mutie is my brother-in-law...

Sen. Wambua Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are properly guided. However, I want to plead with you especially on the application of Standing Order No.105. For instance, if Sen. Faki rises and says that he will take alcohol, get drunk and become unstable, he is responsible for the facts of his...
