• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 33(b), the Senate resolves to meet on Thursday, 14th July, 2016, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This is a straightforward Motion, since as a House we have pending Bills which have constitutional deadlines. They have been pending in our House for long. Gladly, today, we did tremendous work to ensure that we dispose most of those Bills. There are many other pending Bills like The Forest Conservation and Management Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 49 of 2015), The Health Bill (National Assembly Bill ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for a different reason, I deliberately did not want to mention Sen. Ongoro because in most cases, she manages the process from that Chair. At that point in time, you do not want her to say you are out of order. Of course, she does a fantastic work. If Sen. Ongoro was the same Senator that sits on that Chair, definitely, we would be making a lot of progress in other areas. She is a wonderful manager when she sits on the other side but she also has fears about the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to try to call this a Motion of the Jubilee leadership, when actually it is a Motion of the Senate Business Committee, where the Senate Majority Leader, the Senate Minority Leaders, other Members of that Committee and I agreed to sit tomorrow morning to conduct the business of the Senate, and not the business of the Jubilee Government? view

• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that, that is the situation. Nevertheless, this is not an extraordinary happening. Every year, there is normally contestation within the Muslim fraternity, which puts the Government in an awkward situation. It revolves around when, where and by who the moon has been sighted. This is not the only time we have had this mismatch. There are times no lesser person than the Chief Kadhi has announced a holiday and sections of the Muslim community have defied him depending on where the moon has been sighted, by who and ... view

• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that that The Basic Education (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.38 of 2014) be read a Second Time. This is a Bill from the National Assembly. It amends The Basic Education Act in several ways. I take this opportunity to highlight some of the most fundamental amendments that this Bill introduces to The Basic Education Act. First, I would like to refer to Clause 5 of the Amendment Bill. The Bill introduces a new Section 25(A) to establish a Sub-County Education Board and provide for its composition. As hon. Senators ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank my brother the Senate Minority Leader for that courtesy. I think the relationship between the two sides in this House cannot get any better, especially on issues that are not political. Education is an issue of policy. It is about the future of our country. My point of order is to seek your direction in the context of what the Senate Majority Leader has said. I propose under Standing Order 39 where you can rearrange the business of the Senate. I propose two things, one, we ... view
