• 6 May 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to say that the Senate Minority Leader is equally one of the very distinguished and solid legal minds. Just for the record again. I really appreciate that information and it is well taken.

• 6 May 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that the Senate is on recess and this is a Special Sitting.

• 6 May 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me this chance. I would like to start from the outset by saying that I support the Motion. Of course, I am one of the Members of that Committee. I know that Sen. Madzayo and the Senator for Migori, Sen. (Dr.) Machage, have raised issues that on the face of it appear important, serious and relate to the issue of dearly.
