Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale: Sen. (Dr.) Boni, where I come from, men do not talk about food. So, I could not make a comment about the food. Men do not discuss stomach matters. You assume you never heard what you said. I just assumed I never heard. It...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Kakamega County is a renowned expert in bullfighting. We do not challenge it and he does not challenge it, so let us just give Hon. Hassan Ali Joho his flowers that he can be an expert in making sure that...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Bi. Spika wa Muda, Seneta wa Embu angenielewa. Sikua nafanyia Seneta wa Nyandarua madharau. Nilikua namkumbusha kwa sababu, he is a new Member.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale To a village, just like Malinya or Bushiangala

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Bi. Spika wa Muda, ni makosa pia. Waswahili husema, samaki wote hunuka lakini wanamshuku kabale. Kiongozi wangu, Bw. Khalwale, kuna siku hayuko kwa Seneti kwa sababu tofauti. Kama juzi, alikua na mtoto mdogo na sikumwona huku. Wakati Seneta wa Kakamega akisema Seneta Methu ako Wamunyoro na hajaambiwa...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who are crooks?

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Crooks are leaders who are elected into office, but they have no integrity. If you want to give me an opportunity to name them, let me do so next time round, so that I come with a substantive Motion.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale On a point of information.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. (Dr.) Boni should stop calling me his son because I saw his post of a newborn, but my son is already six years. My brother cannot be a newborn yet I am a father of a six-year-old. He gets a child every day....

Sen. Methu, you can inform Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question is on policy. There is a Member of Parliament from Bungoma County who served four terms. After serving the first two terms, it was interrupted and he started enjoying his pension. He then came back, served another two terms. Now, when he...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion as moved by the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget, the Senator for Mandera, who fortunately for us in this Senate, is a national party leader. Therefore, like many national party leaders, he has a global...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with you fully. However, somewhere I read and somewhere I heard that the Speaker does not see or hear; he is only moved by the Plenary. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take your guidance. (Laughter)

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to speak to his heart. Mokoyone in Gusii Language means ‘my brother-in-law,’ which is a fact. I wanted to appeal to him so that he comes closer to the position of the Committee. I did not mean to insult the House in...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Because I saw you rising. I cannot remain on my feet when the Speaker of the Senate is on his feet.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to speak to the reason we can easily disagree. The first one is that the people of Nairobi, Nakuru, Kiambu and Kakamega can paralyse this debate by saying that the population factor should be enhanced. Let them give in because we will...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, following your guidance, would it be in order for the statement to not be allowed to stand on the record of the House because the Governor of Nakuru would ordinarily be removed by this House and is the subject of this statement?

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to comment on the statement about killing of Catholic priests. We are not serious. I remember when Fr. Anthony Kaiser was murdered, his mother country, the United States of America (USA) , sent here the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) . We...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.105. You heard the Senator of Kericho County accuse the employees of NHIF of approving claims for people who have been amputated five times. Is he in order to mislead the country, when it is a fact that you...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. To suspend the Sitting of the Senate is an extraordinary issue and we are doing this to appeal to God. I, therefore, want your direction on this. Is it possible for all the luminaries of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) , who...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I usually do not like interrupting a colleague’s thoughts during his presentation in this House, but I heard Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale talk of the theft at Ketraco. He is casting aspersions on the person of the Governor of Kakamega County. I do not...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.105 on responsibility for statement of fact. The Senator who is my good neighbour has stated that the Government protects them. What does he mean by that? I agree that issues of minerals...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Sen. Wambua, take your seat. Allow me to say this for purposes of the Members who are ventilating on this issue. Let us not debate the Motion. Let us give our comments on whether we should give more time to defer our Motion.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the point of relevance, is this Question Time or time to make comments? The Senator of Kitui has clearly said he has no question; he has a comment. Can he allow Members with questions to ask questions?

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, however emotional we can become during debate, we must uphold parliamentary language. Martha Karua is an hon. Member who served this Republic, not only in this House, but also in the Cabinet. Martha Karua was one of the engines...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale In fact, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am on my point of order.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale The point of order is this; is the hon. Senator in order to use unparliamentary language by calling distinguished Kenyans as busybodies? I demand that he withdraws and apologies abundantly to Prof. Willy Mutunga and Hon. Martha Karua. I would forgive him if he talked about people...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale I sit on the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget and in our last sitting, the Vice Chairperson who was chairing then, advised us that during tomorrow's breakfast meeting, one of the leaders of the Republic will address the Senate. The clarification I seek is that in...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, in 1989, Parliament kept quiet when Professor Wangari single-handedly fought the then-President of Kenya over the grabbing of Uhuru Park.

Sen. (Dr.) KhalwaleMr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we expect a dual courage from Nairobi to Nakuru and to the Mau Summit. At that point, we expect that dual carriage to go into two branches. One branch to go to Kericho, then to Kisumu and from Kisumu to Kakamega. From Kakamega, it...
