• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am proudly young and competent Senate Majority Leader. Is it in order for the aged Senator to pretend that for ten minutes he has gone through my Bill which has taken months if not more than a year to reflect on, and now purports that miraculously, he understands it so thoroughly as to mislead this House especially with the statement he made here which is misleading that drugs and psychotropic substances are not banned simply because they are already illegal? That is why we have the Narcotic Drugs ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minority Leader, who claims to be an aged Senator and therefore, wiser, the other day he was calling another old person “Baba”. Did you see him threaten the clerks at-the-Table? view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is no doubt that Sen. Wetangula is a great debator but once in a while, he loses it. Is it in order, for example, for the Minority Leader to say that there is a possibility that this Bill or any other legislation that is before this House that has come here through the effort of various Members of this House that it has come here through a conspiracy? This is not the first time, Sen. Wetangula is using this term. I remember we had a fierce exchange here ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minority Leader to mislead the House that the reason why we pass a national legislation is unless every single county has that problem? I do not know how in Kisumu poaching of elephants is a problem but we have a national legislation that deals with that issue. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Since this is a House of record and what the Senate Minority Leader is saying goes to cast doubt on our responsibilities as a House to protect counties, had the Senate Minority Leader found ten minutes to read the Bill, he would have seen a clause regarding that. He is the one who has said, before the House, that he has ten minutes to do it. He is on record and the HANSARD can bear me witness. Had he had time to read it, he would have seen a clause that marries ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 191(4) of the Constitution says that county legislation prevails over national legislation if either of the circumstances contemplated in Clause 2 apply. So, there are situations where county legislation prevails over national legislation. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an issue that requires more time than just reading the provisions. However, what is more important is that Clause 2 is the rule. The exception is Article 191(4) which says that whatever is contemplated in Clause 2 applies. If you go to clause 2, you will see that it talks about situations where the national legislations prevail. If the circumstances provided there--- You can read subclauses 2, 3 and so forth. I wish we had time to go through that. But the point I want to make before the Senate Minority Leader is that it ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to interrupt my senior. However, these are issues that will go on record. The reason why the Bill is coming into this House is for us to turn provisions that were of the national Government to counties. That is why the Bill says in several situations; where it reads District, read it as County. The county takes a primary role in those matters. Even if Sen. Wetangula is unhappy with the Bill, the primary role of this House – Sen. Khalwale said yesterday that he would bring amendments ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The authorized persons contemplated by the Act include people who are going to carry out enforcement. This also includes places where testing can be done. This is national in nature and has nothing to do with interfering with county responsibilities. view
