• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is one more Statement which was due today. It was my responsibility to provide a statement that was requested by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. That Statement regarding the fate of Senate Bills that have been submitted to the lower House is not ready. I wanted to ask the indulgence of Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo and the House to give me until Tuesday next week to be able to provide a comprehensive Statement. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether I should have said “point of order,” but I just want a clarification from you. Once a Motion brought by any person has been debated in the House, I thought that it is already the property of the House and, therefore, owned by the House.

• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have asked for two clarifications from the Chair. One is as to whether, in future, if a Motion is coming for division and the Mover of the Motion is not in the House, that is sufficient ground to postpone it. But now that the Senate Majority Leader is here, that may not apply to the current Motion. But for future ruling, you can take your time to make a decision. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: No! I have just said that the clarification for that substantively may not be today. You can retire and make a decision in future. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have about 26 delegations in the House and since this is not a contentious Motion, maybe we should just carry on. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): We have the threshold, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think that we have about 26 delegations as per my count. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the Senate Minority Leader to a large extent. But so far, the voting in this House, including proxy voting, has gone on without any big issues of suspicion or irregularity. I would have been worried if one Senator, purporting – if I can say that – to be voting on proxy, voted “yes;” and another one voted “no.” Then I would have been very worried. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as much as the Senate Minority Leader is raising a very relevant and legitimate point, I think the fact that ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. He should also have referred me as the Temporary Speaker. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Attorney- General Emeritus and Senator for Busia, Sen. Amos Wako, a man I truly respect because I must have done an examination which asked who was the Attorney-General of Kenya. If I got it right, this was Amos Wako. The Chairman of our Committee – I am a Member of the Legal and Human Rights Committee – has done a very tremendous job in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 26 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to admit here that William Chirchir, when he beat Helguraj from Morroco, was my desk mate. We agreed that I should pursue the academic angle as he pursues sports. In another world, it is possible that I would have been a world champion on the 3,000 steeplechase. It is important, therefore, for our counties to start realizing development of sports. In this period of World Cup, we should not just be celebrating the exploits of Messi, Neymar – Suarez is not a good example because he beat somebody the other day – and many ... view
