• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When a Member stands on a point of order, it must be because something is out of order. What the Senate Minority Leader is raising on a point of order is something that we canvassed and finished long 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
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We had seen that coming, considering that the mace was moved today. There was a time we sat here and the mace was not taken. I thought Sen. Orengo was going to address us on why he thinks this is still not one sitting. In his reading of the definition of what is a sitting, when he was reading - Sen. Orengo is my mentor and I have followed him for many years since I was in high school – midway he noticed that there was a contradiction down there. I could ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I respect Sen. Khaniri, the Senator for Vihiga. He is making very valid points as per the Standing Orders. However, I thought the relevant time to raise the point of order; especially on Standing Order No.127 is when that business is called. We have not reached it. I thought the reactions which most of us have requested started by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Ong’era were related to your communication, especially the decorum in the House and so on; then, when the next order is called and we reach the relevant order, ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Orengo in order to insinuate that some of us who had divergent opinions from Sen. Wangari like myself and others, who went to the University and was SONU Chairperson-- would that mean there would be any contradiction from the line of going to The University? In fact, we shared the same faculty of law with Sen. Orengo who preceded all of us many years ago. view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): I have a lot of respect for the legal genius in Sen.Orengo but I am afraid that a few things cannot go unchallenged.On this one, I am tempted to suspect there is a game other than what we know the law ought to be and interpreted. One, this Gazette Notice identifies the time unlike what my colleague Sen.Wangari said. It is 10 a.m. In ordinary interpretation of what today’s sitting therefore is, it is any time from 10.00a.m. to midnight. If the end time is not defined - and I am not saying it should not have ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, protect me from the Senator for Tana River. view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): It is not true to argue that time has not been defined. It has been. The only problem is that the end time was not defined and even if so, ordinarily the day will end at midnight. Secondly, on the definition of what a Sitting is which Sen.Orengo has really struggled to find a rationale for trying to nullify this afternoon’s proceedings, the last part of the standing order No.2, if you allow me just to read again says:- “But two or more periods of siting within the normal period of one sitting” The normal period of ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am. My concern is in connection with the point of order that has been raised about attempts to create a situation of fear and anxiety among Members of this House. We have never had any incident inside this House. Even the one or two Senators that almost veered off did so elsewhere and not here because there is one who accidentally blew a whistle but they never did so here. There is another one who had not gone to the gym and wanted to do gymnastics but they did not do it here. ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in condemning the kind of barricading I have seen around Parliament. This must be contextualized. I think it is easy for us, politicians and Parliamentarians and those who have privileged positions to shift blame to others, but we must also ask ourselves what visited us as elected leaders that we could engage ourselves in such behavior that would attract the necessity of having policemen around Parliament. This is not the first time I have been shocked about this. The other week when the National Assembly had a Special Sitting, the whole place around ... view
• 28 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Bible says that if a leg or toe is injured, the whole body is in pain. Parliament is both the National Assembly and the Senate. The behaviour of one House affects the integrity of the other House. view
