Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to make a few comments on this very important Motion. I want to be very clear that I oppose this Motion. I am not here to defend my friend, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, for he may walk with his head high knowing that he is innocent and diligent, even if persecuted so cruelly.

The evil that this House does lives after us. Long will it be remembered that this Senate swore to defend the Constitution and its institution, but betrayed the Republic in exchange for the meanest comfort. The credibility of this House as the watchdog of public interest, defender of our institutions and guardian of the rule of law has dramatically and tragically collapsed.

The usurpers of our Constitution have not laid any charge to back this disgraceful onslaught, but alleged that the affected Member of this House has been disloyal. Indefatigable stalwarts who have given their all to the cause; leaders who staked their careers on the daunting struggle to build and protect Jubilee and its Government; men and women who stood with our abandoned, besieged and maligned party leader and deputy party leader at a time of tribulation at home and abroad--- Members who have fought tooth and nail for the Presidency over three electoral contests; servants who unflinchingly stewarded Government business ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, these people are being insulted as disloyal and viciously haunted by captive party. Today, the House has been asked to ratify the injustice. I am not here to mourn the fate of my friend, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki because nothing can harm a good man in life or in death. I grieve and mourn the deterioration of our democracy. I mourn the serial assassination of our independent institutions and their replacement with shells, ghosts and zombies. The argument has been made that Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is disloyal. The epicenter of this Motion is that he has been ...

I served for the second half of last term as the Deputy Majority Leader to Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. No Government Motion was lost in this House. Even in the first term when I served in the Speaker’s Panel, no Motion was lost by Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki in this House as the Leader of Majority.

As Deputy Speaker of this House, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki distinguished himself as a very committed scholar determined to protect the institution of the Senate. In fact, from that Chair, a number of decisions of the Deputy Speaker have been so weighty that they have been cited by the Court of Appeal and other jurisdictions.

Those who tell us today that Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is disloyal are the same people who have opposed his defense of the same loyalty. I am not here to mourn Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, but the Senate and not to praise it, because today’s business belongs to the annals of history’s worst mistakes. I say so because this House has heard the Mover of the Motion and the Seconder. They have said over and over again, and I wrote it somewhere, that it is about loyalty to the party. If this issue was about loyalty within Jubilee Party, why is NASA ...

One thing we decided when we came to this House is that we were going to do everything humanly possible to ensure that we cling together to move this country forward.
