  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for giving a well thought out, intelligent and very solid statement for posterity. You never disappoint in this House. Every time the occasion presents itself, you are always being that great Speaker - and lawyers know that there was a renowned judge in the House of Lords called Lord Dening who always never disappointed. You are the Lord Dening of this House. I would like to, first, say that when the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet elected me to be a Senator, the issues that we presented to ... view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We are proceeding well, but I was wondering, given that we have an equally important Motion by Sen. Khalwale this afternoon, if it would not be in order for my colleagues who would want to contribute to defer that contribution, because most of what we are saying now falls squarely within the relevance of that Motion. I seek the indulgence of my colleagues and the direction of the Chair. view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Finally, the time for action has arrived. What the Council of Governors is trying to do is to test the resolve of this House to represent the will, aspirations and interests of the people of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let there be no doubt that it will be unconstitutional to release funds to a public entity that has told you openly: “You have given me money. I have used it the way I want. I do not want to be asked any questions, but please, add me more money.” It will be ... view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on Standing Order No.30(3) and (4) to move a Motion that the Senate resolves to extend its sitting time until the conclusion of business appearing in orders Nos.8,9 10, 12 and 13. Considering that we are going on recess and that there are two Bills which if we complete will give this Senate a good record, considering that there is also a Motion regarding what has just transpired with regard to the performance of the Kenya Athletics Team in Glasgow, it is in order for the Senate ... view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mathew Chapter 23 verses 14 to 30 talks about the parable of the talents. The master went on a long journey and left three servants; one with five talents, one with two talents and one with one talent. He expected all of them to multiply those talents. When he came back the one who was given five had ten. The one who was given two had four. The one who was given one told the master:- “I know that you are a bad man and so, I hid your talent under the earth. Therefore, I am returning ... view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. He told the master that he was a bad man. The master in this situation, if I can parallel it, is the Senate. The Senate allocated resources to the various counties; some five, some two and some one. The time for accountability was one year down the line. When that time came there are those governors who came and said:- “Master, the Senate, you allocated us this money and we multiplied. We even collected others and did the roads and hospitals.” They accounted to the Senate through Sen. Khalwale’s Committee. But there are others who have ... view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: I am saying for those who want to take note, let us agree to take two minutes each. view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I represent athletics powerhouse in this Chamber and that is Elgeyo-Marakwet County. I want to take note that as a result of the last competition, new athletes have come and I think Sen. (Prof.) Lesan must be very proud because some of them come from his county. I want to say that, as a country, athletics and sports has really managed to unite us. It is important that we just do not take advantage of the fact that we got the publicity as a result of the good job the athletes are doing but as a ... view
  • 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Having listened to the amendment by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and having interacted with the Chairman of the CRA in Mombasa last weekend, I have a problem supporting this amendment. My problem is constitutional. The responsibility of the county assembly is basically to ensure that they can run the budgeting process of the county. That budgetary process is guided, if you read the Public Finance Management Act, by the County Fiscal Strategy Plan. That is like the overall or the global picture that counties must have when they are preparing matters of the budget for ... view
  • 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: No! No! On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. view
