• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senate Minority Leader in order to make fun of such a brutal attack that took place against a lady on Kenyan soil? I am talking of the case involving Mr. Kofi Olomide, the musician.

• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply. However, given that we do not have the requisite numbers to vote, I beg to move that you direct that putting of the Question be deferred to a later date. view

(Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, looking at the time, and considering that the Bill has to be moved and seconded, I request that you defer Order No.18 as well as the next one on assisted reproductive technology to tomorrow so that we can have ample time to debate. I do not think that I can move it in four minutes and have it seconded. view
