• 21 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Considering that the business appearing in Order Nos. 10 to 17 is about Division and it will be affected by the minimum quorum required, would I be in order to request that you postpone the putting of the question for all the divisions to tomorrow? view
• 21 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have counted the numbers and if it is in order, I request that you postpone the putting of the question to the next day. view
• 21 Feb 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I request that the putting of the question on this Bill be postponed to the next day. view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I apologise to the House through you with a lot of humility and remorse because I was late in coming to the Chamber. I got constrained and I truly apologise. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to address myself quickly to some of the issues that have been raised by hon. Senators with regard to the business of this House. First and foremost, let me start by admitting that we have had challenges with regard to our legislative work since 2013 until now. It is not true that this Senate ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): I rarely get informed by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. but for today, I will allow him to do so. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for that valuable information. However, in his usual enthusiasm, he has completely failed to appreciate what my point was. My point was simple, that in Australia with many decades of bicameral Parliament, they still have the push and pull. How that push and pull between the two Houses is resolved is a different topic but the push and pull exists until today. However, I appreciate that information but I do not know where Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. gets time to read all these things because he appears ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I have a lot of respect for Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale, but he has a tendency of getting away with nearly criminal behaviour. Is he in order to impute improper motives on a Senator whom he says stole Kshs40 million? He is saying the Majority Leader maybe knows who that Senator is. The basic principle of the law of evidence is that whoever alleges must prove. The burden is on Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to do either of two things; tell us which Senator stole Kshs40 million and substantiate or withdraw and ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a House of records. In fact, my brother, whom I respect, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’- Nyong’o has complicated matters. If I heard him correctly, he is saying there is a Senator who normally comes here on being paid by the Majority Leader. Am I in order to ask, as you give directions on the unnecessary frolic that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has put this put this House on, can you also direct Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o to either name the Senator who is normally paid to come and attend the Senate and substantiate or ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just one last point with your indulgence. Before I read my Statement, I request colleagues to cooperate for the remaining few months. We have done a good job. We are the first House under this dispensation. We need to lay a good foundation. We have done our best. The time left is short. However I think we can still improve on what has been happening. Having said that, it is now my pleasure to issue the Statement on the Business of the next week which starts on 21st February, 2017. BUSINESS FOR THE ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for bailing me out. The Senator for Kakamega is a good legislator who knows how to perpetuate debate. I even wonder why all of a sudden he has lost interest in this House to go and do other things. However, that is within his democratic rights. For his information, in Law School, they taught us that one pronounces Latin as it is written and writes it as it is pronounced. Therefore, the adjournment will be Sine Die, not the way he pronounced it. He tried to “Englishnize” it. The adjournment will ... view
