• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also support the wonderful and in-depth report by the Committee headed by my friend, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o. Very briefly, I want to say that national airlines are a source of national pride. It is, therefore, important for us to save our airline and make sure that we have a national carrier that is not only profitable, but it is also offering world class service. Secondly, it is unfortunate that KQ has chosen to engage in endless litigation and disputes with its employees. There must be a legal audit and a ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issues have been raised extensively. However, I wish to start by thanking the Committee for doing a very sterling job, particularly, the manner in which the report is presented.

• 3 Dec 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I second this Motion, Article 125 of the Constitution empowers both Houses of Parliament to summon any person to appear before its Committees. The words used in Article 125 are ‘any person.’ If the drafters intended to exempt governors from Article 125 and its operations, they would have stated so. Secondly, this matter has been given judicial interpretation. The Council of Governors undertook a misguided route by litigating against the appearance of governors before the Committees of the Senate. They believed that they are big; that they cannot be summoned by this ... view

I confronted the Chairman and I told him I hoped that it The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of ... view

As Members know, Kenya Airways has not been doing very well. There were reports as recently as two days ago that the airline is even unable to pay workers. The Senate ad hoc ... view
