• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have seen the requests at the Clerks’ desk. Could we reduce the time to five minutes, so that everybody can speak before the rise of the House at 12.30 a.m.? That will enable us to consider the Bills when we come back. Otherwise, if everybody is to speak, based on the requests made, we might need the whole day. Could we do a reasonable five minutes, because we will have another chance on the same subject matter? view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all I have listened to the mood of the House. Being the Deputy Senate Majority Leader, I should have supported the Motion but because of the mood of the House, I totally agree that it is important for us to have--- Perhaps this is the last impeachment that we will have before we finish our term. It is also better for us to test a new system where the whole House will have an opportunity listen to the allegations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to remind the House that in the Senate of the United ... view

• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hope it only helps that because of the possible misconceptions out there about the defeat of the formation of the Committee, it must not be understood that it means that the Senate will not deal with the matter. There is a gap between now and tomorrow when you give a substantive procedure and so forth. It only helps members of the public who are unable to read the law or follow the procedure that instead of using a Committee, the Senate has just decided to use a different procedure. view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join in appreciating the decision that has been made. Of course, I cannot celebrate the demise of my Motion but I am happy I am not alone. On this one, we have collapsed together with my brother. I think for the first time, we are leading from behind. view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): For purposes of the record and what the public gets out of this, it should be clear that the decision by the Senate – in my view and that is why I need the guidance from the Chair – is by no means an indictment on the committee system of this House. We have used the committee system before in this process. I am happy that the various committees did a good job. I think it is only fair for us to say that this time round, we are trying to do this thing differently and it ... view
• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is overtaken by events considering that the person I was raising the point of order against is already seated. However, for the record, if the Senate Minority Leader had heard, Sen. Sang expressed his wishes as he wanted to. For avoidance of doubt, he just wanted to raise the concern around voting; the possibility that the voting equipment that we use gives an opportunity to clarify and confirm his vote. More importantly, the Communication regarding the plenary issue will fall within the rules that the Standing Orders allow. When you give your Communication ... view

(Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 28 (4), the Senate resolves to alter its Calendar in respect of Part III of the Fourth Session for the sittings scheduled to resume on 13th September, 2016 instead commences on 20th September, 2016. view
