• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Is he in order to mislead the country that the Senate Majority Leader has victimized him, while the true position is that after the small episode in which I de-whipped the Senator for Kakamega, I went out of my way to campaign for him and support him to become the Chairperson of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC)? view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- That, The Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.44 of 2015) be now read a Second Time. This is one of the Bills that have a constitutional deadline of 27th August, 2016. As the Senators know, we are doing very well so far with regard to the Bills that have come to us in the last few weeks; especially the nearly two-dozen Bills that have constitutional deadlines. We hope that when this Bill goes to the Committee on Energy, they will propose any amendments that we ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill is very exciting. As a Member of the Committee on Energy, I am happy to note that we appreciate the efforts that the Government has put to ensure that we have a legal framework that deals with matters of petroleum, particularly exploration, development and production. This Bill is critical for the reasons that have been properly presented by Sen. Kiraitu. First of all, petroleum, oil exploration and gas are of great concern for Africa and the world. The black gold, as they call it, is a very important resource in so far as the ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move. However, given that we do not have enough Senators to go into a Division, I request that you direct that the putting of the question be deferred to tomorrow under Standing Order No.54(3). view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I beg to move that the Community Land Bill (National Assembly Bill No.45 of 2015) be read a Second Time. This is a Bill to give effect to Article 3(5) of the Constitution in particular, to recognise land that is vested in communities. For a long time, we have had only three categories of land: public, private and trust land. Under the current constitutional order we no longer have trust land. We have community land, which is land vested in communities. Secondly, under the old order, community land or rather trust land used ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is true that is the tradition of this House, but it is not written anywhere. A Bill can be seconded by any Senator. Ordinarily, when Members of the Opposition are present, we give them an opportunity, but they are not here. I do not speak for them and I do know why they are not here because this is Senate time. I just wanted to highlight that there is nothing wrong in a Member from the Majority side seconding this Bill. view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank my boss, the Senate Majority Leader, for moving this Bill eloquently. While I recognise that in our tradition, the Opposition side could have had a chance to second the Bill, I also recognise that they have been having dialogue in the streets. We are more than ready to have a dialogue with them in this House and that is what we have been insisting because they are our colleagues. Instead of having dialogue where it cannot be documented and put into law, they should come so that we have dialogue together ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have a Procedural Motion to move if you allow me. I had sought your permission, I will just move it. view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, pursuant to Article 107(1)(c) of the Constitution and Standing Order No.18, the Senate elects Sen. Naisula Lesuuda to preside over the proceedings of the House for the rest of the sitting today, Tuesday 14th June, 2016. This is to enable the Temporary Speaker to be assisted by a Member who is not ordinarily a Member of the Speaker’s Panel. This is proper, considering that you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, have been on the Chair for over two hours and your colleagues in the Speaker’s Panel are away for various official duties. I ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sorry. I apologise for calling my boss the Senate Minority Leader. I would like to ask the Majority Leader of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya to second. view
