• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I second the position raised by Sen. Orengo. The statement sworn by the Member of the County Assembly who is now a witness, is so broad that we have to make a determination whether he is the person to answer questions on and on behalf of all the county assembly in term of the documents that are before us before one can determine how many questions we will ask. Having been in this process in the past with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale who was my chair then, it was the witness statements that ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, the senior counsel, Sen. Orengo and Sen. Wako, will help me here. If that is the case that this witness is going to be there to answer all questions related to the case that have been put forward by the lawyers, how then should we proceed? If we cross-examine him at the moment, we are going to do partly work, maybe do the case of the Governor first at the moment. If we were going to deal with it later after the Governor has done his case, it becomes now easy for us to seek the clarification. ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the cardinal principles of natural justice is the rule against bias and the right to be heard. For that reason and given the extraordinary role that this House is playing this afternoon, I support the view of more flexibility and more time, so that the assembly can properly lay their case and prosecute it, considering that they only have one witness. That is the silver bullet that they have. The Senate should not entertain a situation where we look like we must help them make the case or we are in a ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I have three questions. First, one of the critical issues in impeachment is the nexus between the officer being impeached and the action. In the case of Embu, it was clear that the County Assembly wrote numerous letters and attempted resolutions that were sent straight to the Governor and brought to his attention and then they brought a case of inaction. Did the County Assembly attempt to bring directly to the attention of the Governor any of these acts of maladministration, whether it is the tendering, whether it is the action of a chief officer ... view
• 13 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very small. If I can ask my learned friend and the counsel Mr. George who was incidentally a class ahead of me, if I heard the governor well, it was not that he was not invited. It is that his counsel was denied to address the county assembly. Is there anything you can say about that? view

• 8 Sep 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the concern of the Senator of Kakamega County because, truly, we need numbers. It is true also that my side today is looking – temporarily - as if most of my colleagues are on the way. That notwithstanding, can the Senator for Kakamega, a man I respect a lot for fidelity to facts, laws and procedures; tell us which place in this country is called Eurobond Towers? Where are the towers and why are they called so? Can he substantiate that Jubilee Senators are in such a ... view
