• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know what has become of the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. He has just made very devastatingly incorrect statements here. I am sure even the Leader of the Minority will not support it. I do not think it is right for a Senator – I do not even think that it is honourable in my view – to say that the Government is lying. That statement is exaggerated. May be there could be factors which have not been presented appropriately. However, ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek your guidance. I had approached you, if you could use your discretion to allow me a few minutes to make a very short Statement under Standing Order No. 45 (2) (a), on an issue of general topical concern namely; the demise of the Hon. Sen. Julius Muthamia, former Senator for Meru county. view

The news has come at a time when this Senate and the country is redefining itself and trying to appreciate the role of the Senate in a devolved system of government. Sen. Julius Muthamia was known to me personally. He remained very active in ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had been informed that last Tuesday that the Senate had blocked Thursday afternoon for two reasons. One, that all Members can have the opportunity to follow the proceedings of the Committee. Secondly, the members of public can follow through live coverage. Unfortunately, today because of the business, we have spent the time on other businesses. I hope that the Members will be given sufficient notice to understand that this is a very important item to the House so that they prepare, not only to come make their contributions, but will also be present. I do ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what Sen. Wako is proposing is basically what we have already done. During our meeting at the Stanley Hotel we went through the whole document and agreed. Nothing much changed after that. We also had a meeting here which was poorly attended. It was the final Kamukunji before the tabling of the Report. Nothing had changed, except the percentage of the resources that will go to the counties. This was also achieved by consensus. I have no fear at all that bipartisanism has not been achieved, because the meeting at the Stanley Hotel was well attended. ... view
