• 7 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sometimes I sit, as it is known, where you sit, on your behalf. I want to support what--- view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: Yes, thanks to you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I really want to support Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders must lead this House to be here when we want to do serious business. We now have many Bills. That is a good thing and we must congratulate them for that. However, when it comes to availability for us to hold committee sessions, which sometimes have amendments, like we have in the last few committees, where we have even up to 20 divisions to go through, we need Senators to be here. This is a message to all ... view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that there has been tremendous improvement in terms of simultaneous conveyance of Bills in the two Chambers of this Parliament. I am happy to report, for the benefit of Sen. Chris Obure and my other colleagues that all these Bills, including the ones I have read were simultaneously conveyed to the two Houses of Parliament through the Senate Majority Leader for the record. We wrote to the Office of the Speaker of the Senate and he wrote back to us saying that he was consulting his brother, the Speaker of the ... view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true. I remember the history around the Public Audit Bill, 2014. You remember that I was of the opinion that I think that there was misrepresentation on that Bill. You will recall that with regard to the Fair Administrative Action Bill, 2014, which is one of the Bills listed here, the process of dual conveyance was followed and what I have explained here is exactly what happened. The broad issue is that we have a number of Bills that we must finish. The delay in terms of these Bills reaching us this ... view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset I would like to congratulate Sen. Murungi for coming up with this very important Bill. I have heard the views of many of my colleagues, including the immediate speaker, Sen. Okong’o. I would like to look at this Bill from a different perspective. It is not a Bill of the Senate view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: the National Assembly. If you look at the way this Bill has been drafted, it is in a manner to create two Committees of the Parliamentary Service Commission, one for the National Assembly and another for the Senate. The advantage here is to create an avenue for both Houses to have an entity that they can prosecute their matters uniquely affecting the different Houses. This is important. I would also like our colleagues in the National Assembly to look at it from that perspective when they debate this Bill; that bicameralism has been created for the good of the country. ... view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, suffice to note that--- view
• 7 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to point out what Senators have talked about. Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo serves in the same side of Parliament with me. We enjoy similar privileges and status in the Jubilee Government. There is an opportunity that this Senate can take advantage of. Through the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, we can utilise the four Senators to have more time. They should be given resources to form a committee that will deal with matters of conflict and peace building. I am sure that if Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo can drag and get the Senator ... view
• 6 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just have a further suggestion. This concerns the nation, but not just this building. Our Commissioners in the PSC should also consider working with the County Government of Nairobi County and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. The Parliament Road should be blocked from the Intercontinental--- view
• 6 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought that some of the things that we prosecute in the House have national policy decision and we do them publicly. I thought that welfare issues are the ones we deal with privately. I want to suggest something that has national policy decision. It is something which the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet and Nairobi County should follow. However, the ones that we will prosecute tomorrow in our view
