• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof). Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, in reply to the matters raised by the two Senators, I will just say one thing; they have just confirmed my thesis. For example, the story of Noah is a sad story for parents and children. A father, a grown up man with sons and daughters, because of alcohol, can remove his clothes and expose his children to an eternal curse. This is the more reason why even today, we should control ourselves by making sure we do not drink in Parliament. Parliament is a working place. Why do you want to sell alcohol ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: What is it Sen. Kindiki? view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof). Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I am rising under Standing Order 54(3). It is evident that we do not have the numbers for purposes of voting for this Bill, so, I request that you use your discretion under Standing Order No.54 (3) so that the question be put the day following today; and in which case, you can nominate a specific time when voting will take place so that the different whips can mobilize Members so that we have adequate numbers to carry on with the voting. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Yes, Sen. Muthama. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof). Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, I have given the reason. We do not have the numbers. The assumption is that this is a matter concerning counties. However, that discretion on whether this is a Motion concerning counties or not is not my discretion. It is the discretion of the Speaker. So, you can guide us accordingly. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you. Sen. Lesan. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Hon. Senators, first of all, I would like to point out that this is a Bill concerning counties. I am inclined to agree with Sen. (Prof). Lesan that, indeed, you cannot have a Bill in this House that does not concern counties. The fact that the Speaker has already admitted a Bill to be debated in the House means that it is a Bill concerning counties. Our Standing Orders require that before any Bill or Motion is put on vote, it is the responsibility of the Chair to remind you which I will. This is a Bill concerning counties and, ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Basically the Standing Order No. 54(3) limits that discretion of the Chair to the next day which in this case will be on Tuesday next week. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Well, procedurally, we might have that precedence but our Standing Orders are very clear. They say the next day. It is something that we might have to consider substantially. However, in keeping with that Standing Orders, I would like to rule that on both business and Orders No.s 12 and 13 be deferred until we vote on them on Tuesday, 17th June, 2014 next week at 3.00 pm. We will vote for both the business listed under the Orders number 12 and 13, view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Khalwale. I can see the Senate Minority Leader is scared away from a discussion he has been having with Senate Majority Leader. There was a ruling from the Chair, in the past, that it does not matter which side a Member sits. The sitting arrangement is not confined to a Member sitting in a particular area. I have been notified that business under Orders No.14 and 15 are also deferred until a day and time that will be decided by the Rules and Business Committee. view
