• 12 May 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Public Audit Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 38 of 2014) be read a second time. This is one of the three Bills that are required by the Constitution of Kenya to be enacted by both Houses of Parliament, latest 27th May, 2015, after an extension of an earlier deadline was given sometime last year. This Bill is very important. It touches on public finances and how those finances are audited for purposes of ensuring that there is accountability and effective use of the money that tax payers generate ... view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was decrying the late arrival of this Bill before this House and the misrepresentation that was out there that this Bill has been delayed by this House. We want to make it clear, for the record, that it is not true that this Bill has been here. The Bill has just arrived. This is the kind of pressure that we can avoid. We want to implore, going forward, that our partners in the legislative process will do their work early and be truthful. The information that was out there that this House ... view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. When someone that talks about a donation in a harambee, because it is Kshs5 million, yet he, himself, donated Kshs200,000, does he mean that the Kshs5 million could be stolen, but the Kshs200,000 that he gave could not be stolen? Could he substantiate? I was in a fundraising where the Senate Minority Leader donated Kshs200,000. At what limit does one begin to imagine that this amount is from corruption and the other is not? Is it corruption because of the amount you give or is giving an issue of the heart? view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I apologize, but I just wanted to indicate that considering that the Senate Minority Leader is a man of immense wealth, from his past stint in the Government, which we do not want to go into now, at what level can we say that someone is corrupt if they are holding onto their money? view
• 12 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senate Minority Leader is a man of means as a practising advocate of many years, but particularly as a Minister for The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.45 to issue a Statement regarding the business for next week. As usual, next there will be a meeting of the Rules and Business Committee (RBC). During that meeting, the RBC will schedule business. However, given that we have three Bills that have very near Constitutional deadlines, we expect the RBC to be kind enough to prioritise the following three Bills:- The Public Audit Bill (National Assembly No.38 of 2014), The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 40 of 2014) and the Fair Administrative Active ... view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I received this Bill yesterday at 5.00 o’clock and I am prepared to move it right now. You cannot move a Bill you have not received. I will proceed. view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): All the three Bills that are listed here or any other Bill for that matter--- I have on my table six Bills which I received yesterday at 5.00 o’clock. So, I would not have been expected to move a Bill that had not been brought to my attention. That is my point. The point has been made that we should be here to process Bills. The delay in processing these Bills is not the fault of the Senate because they came late to us from the National Assembly. We must do whatever we can to process them ... view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, my business is to move Bills once they reach to this House and are brought to the attention of the Majority Leader. I have explained, very clearly, that this happened yesterday at 5.00 o’clock. In any case, even if the Bill was moved last evening, it would not be concluded by now. So, let us look at the big picture. The big picture is that we have work to do and we must do it as soon as possible. view
