• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I totally appreciate your ruling on Sen. Sang’s point of order. But until it is withdrawn, it is totally misleading because he needs to withdraw what he has referred to and apologize. Otherwise, I will be--- view

• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Let me just conclude something, Mr. Chairman, Sir. The impression he is creating out there is that, first of all, this Bill will solve the issues we are raising. One, this Bill is effective only for one year; two, the Bill we tabled about 40 per cent is actually an amendment of a ceiling that has already been set for development versus recurrent for the counties. What I am opposed to here is converting the CRA into a county assembly or the CRA performing a legislative function so that the legislature at the county level becomes a rubberstamp. That is ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Did you notice that in the previous vote 27 Senators voted and in this other vote it is 29 Senators? view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, in the absence of a proper explanation, the Standing Order and particularly, the Communication that came from the Chair today will have been breached. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that the Committee of the Whole has considered the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, Senate Bill No.9 of 2014 and approved the same with amendments. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to commend the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, and the whole team for a good job. Looking at this Bill holistically, one of the most contentious issue, which is also still in debate in the National Assembly, is the question of financing Level 5 Hospitals. It is important to remind the counties and the National Assembly that, first of all, there is no legal instrument on their own for reversing a function that has been devolved. It is nowhere. It is not in the Constitution. It is not in the ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for the hon. Senator. However, is he in order to mislead the people of Kenya on a very straight forward issue namely, that the law as provided for in the Constitution says that the percentage that is required is at least 15 per cent. Secondly, that 15 per cent must be the 15 per cent of the last audited accounts approved by Parliament. That is Article 233. He is one of the people who passed this law. It is not even me. ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just belabouring the point that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is completely out of order for two reasons. First, for misleading Kenyans that the 15 per cent that is required is 15 per cent of Kshs1.026 trillion. It is the 15 per cent of the last audited accounts approved by Parliament. Secondly, in any case, even assuming that the law has been amended, which has not happened, and it is 15 per cent of any figure, even 22 per cent is way above the 15 per cent. So, I do not know why ... view
