• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to speak a lot but I will be brief because we have been here since 9.00a.m., for which I am grateful and I do not take it for granted. I know it is our responsibility but I think this is over and above what is expected of us. As Senators are aware, we have interrupted this recess three times. Every time we have interrupted it, we have had Senators here and on one occasion we missed one Member to put through the vote. However, notwithstanding, we had 23 delegations ... view
• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: The country should rest assured that by Friday, 27th August, 2016 the two Houses will have discharged their responsibilities. Thirdly and finally, I wish the Hon. Senators, fruitful remainder of the recess. It is in this connection, that I consulted with the Senate Minority Leader and the other House Business Committee Members and it was agreed that perhaps in order to adjust to that interruption, we extend the recess by one more week. Instead of resuming on 13th September, 2016, we resume on 20th September, 2016 so that we finalise the important Business that we have started this morning. The ... view

• 18 Aug 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is this not a serious matter that may call into question the Members’ commitment?

• 5 Aug 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I did not want to interrupt the Senator for Nyeri. This has nothing to do with him. Have you seen the Senator for Garissa, our senior, Mzee Yusuf Haji walk in? Although everything is correct in terms of dressing; considering that jacket, do you think he is properly dressed? view
• 5 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. We are here for a crucial responsibility bestowed upon us by the people of Kenya under the Constitution - Articles 94, 95 and 96 - as Parliament. Parliament is here to exercise the sovereign power of the people and on behalf of the people in the Constitution. We passed the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (2016). In that Bill, Section 4(2), we provided that the county governments’ allocation shall be transferred to the county revenue fund in accordance with a payment schedule approved by the Senate and gazetted by the Cabinet Secretary for National ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Physical Planning Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 46 of 2015) be read a Second Time. This is a Bill to make provisions for the planning, use, regulation and development of land and for connected purposes. This Bill gives effect to Article 66 (1) of the Constitution which provides that the State may regulate the use of any land or right over land in the interest of defense, public safety, public order, public morality, public health or land use planning. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, generally speaking, the purpose ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am just saying that physical planning is an area which we need to invest more research and expertise in. It is an area that will solve many of our problems, especially in urban areas and emerging centers of growth like the counties. In about ten counties out of the 47, the county headquarters are outside the traditional big town. That gives us an advantage, using the county governments system, to have well planned towns and cities, and that needs manpower. That is what I am saying. In Part 3, the Bill deals ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fully agree with you, but just for guidance on when time starts running, in the case of the Senate Majority Leader; I thought it should run from now. But time for the Committee has been running, just specifically with due respect. view
