• 9 Mar 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I seek guidance from the Chair on whether it is in order to proceed to debate this Motion when we have raised very weighty issues on the legality of the Motion itself. In particular, Standing Order No.178 is extremely clear. It is unambiguous. Simply put, it says that when constituting committees, one must make references to the relative majorities in this House. I do not know whether it is in order to proceed debating this Motion when the Chair has not made a ruling on whether this Motion is legally before this House or ... view

• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, it is clear and I apologize. I beg to support this Bill and I thank Sen. Omondi for bringing it.

Thank you very much Sen. Omondi and we hope our other colleagues who represent other special interests like you and women will bring more Bills that are sensitive to ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to support this Report and thank the Members of both Houses; the National Assembly and the Senate who sat in this Mediation Committee. It is gratifying to note that the culture of mediating differences of legislative opinion, as anticipated in the Constitution, is taking root. When we started in 2013, it was not easy, but now it is common that either the two Houses will concur or where they do not concur, the Mediation Committee has worked harmoniously to resolve outstanding issues and table a report, ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion and thank Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki and the team that did a wonderful job. There are some counties that have no infrastructure at all but we also know that many counties, if not all, would require some form of support to improve the infrastructure at the county headquarters. So, the good thing that the report of this Committee has done is to categorize the needs so that progressively, each county, hopefully in the long term can be assisted. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to note the ... view

It is an important institution because there are reforms that are ongoing and particularly in making it a permanent Parliament with permanent Members serving for ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate him and when he will serve there, I will miss my colleagues from all over Africa but also Sen.
