• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I said other junior members of staff in the counties. This theft is not just related to individual governors. It is a system. It starts from the top to the bottom. Now, you have little fellows threatening everybody in the village. If you ask this guy, what is your curriculum vitae? He says, “Ooh, you know I was an intern, then I did it for six months and then I became chief of staff or personal assistant to some officer in the county government.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because of time, I ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to get clear clarification from the Chairperson.

• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for protecting me from Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. aka the Duke of Makueni County. Sen.

• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not say the Senators peddle lies but I emphasised that the Constitution upholds us from uttering falsehood or defamatory statements. Taking advantage of the immunity of Parliament to insult Members left, right and centre is not good. There is a level of civility we must maintain. We took this position intentionally as a House and we said we are a mature institution. People used to say it in an insulting manner but being a House of elders, it is important. It is honourable because elders in the African culture represent maturity and wisdom. Mr. ... view

Those are some of the things you learn when you sit in committees. Committees give you the opportunity when you travel out of Nairobi ... view

If you remember, last week we altered the calendar. We should have adjourned last week, but we altered the calendar to enable us to attend the State of the Nation Address by the President tomorrow. Instead of going on recess and come back mid week, we decided to postpone the recess. Recess is an important part of our calendar because it gives us the opportunity to concentrate on Committee work, visit and ... view

• 30 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have not talked about chaos. I just talked about his usual gymnastics of bull fighting, twisting and turning of legs. He should allow that session--- view
