• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have been enjoying the debate. It is a very good debate. There is one thing that we need to clarify because this is a House of records. We need to clarify that the position of the Senate Majority Leader is not being contested. The assumption that Sen. Ongoro and company are trying to sell around is that the majority in this House is determined by one Senator which is not true. What has happened this afternoon has set in motion, I fear, to a process that might lead to a by-election in ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Order, Senators! I have almost ten requests. The Speaker has ruled and nothing has changed from the time I made the ruling. The position remains the same. Whether Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Khaniri or Sen. Bule sit on the left or right side, the side they belong by law, is the side their coalition agreement demonstrates in whatever coalition agreement they have written. I have said in no uncertain words that unless there is a written letter from a political party to the Speaker indicating that the coalition agreement has changed, there is no legal instrument for the Speaker to ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Hon. Senators, the Motion being moved by Sen. Orengo is very important. We have a very important visitor in the President to the United States of America (USA), coming to the country tomorrow. The Senator for Siaya County, where President Obama has roots, must be heard in silence. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen Wetangula. This is not a CORD Motion, but one brought by a CORD Member. However, that does not mean anything in so far as --- view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Sen. Wetangula, please listen to me. You are completely digressing from the spirit of the conversation of Sen. Orengo who tabled the Motion. If Sen. Orengo can listen to me, the spirit of the moving notes – I listened very carefully to him – was moving away from “us” versus “them” and trying to create middle ground for both sides. So, it is unnecessary for you to go to that tangent. There are enough things to say about President Obama. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can ... view

• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: For those murmuring, the Senate Minority and Majority Leaders have priority under the Standing Orders. Once they bring an issue to the notice of the Speaker, they always have the first say. Proceed, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Order, Senator. You should have declared your interest before saying what you have just said. However, the Standing Orders are very clear. The Senate Majority and Minority leaders not only have priority in speaking but also have longer time to speak. view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take your ruling with a lot of humility. I know we hold our positions because they have been entrusted upon us so that we help this House in terms of business and steering it into the greatness that we want to see. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I commend my senior, Sen. James Aggrey Bob Orengo, one of my mentors in the legal profession. For many years, he has been very consistent in terms of his contribution not only to the growth of the legal profession in our country but also he has ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am increasingly getting disappointed. As we applaud and welcome the arrival of former Senator, and now, the President of the United States of America (USA), hon. Barrack Obama; he is a great son of America who has ancestral roots in this great country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I listened to the Seconder of the Motion and I got worried because we are sending mixed signals. We talk this way but make about-turns and speak the opposite. This is the contradiction that has made our country look bad not only in the eyes of the people ... view
