• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to spoil the mood of the Senate Minority Leader. But I am just wondering, again, this being a serious House, whether he is in order to cast aspersions on a Head of State of a nation friendly to Kenya, considering that the Seconder of this Motion is a former Chief Diplomat of Kenya, as Minister for Foreign Affairs. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not challenging your decision, because I cannot anyway, but when you say that the Head of State of a country is a witchdoctor and pretends that he can do this when he cannot--- Secondly, when you use the excuse, as the Senator for Bungoma is doing, that, that country anyway has pulled out of the Commonwealth and is, in other words, therefore, not a friendly country, is that not misleading?

• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to try and see whether it is possible through you that we strike a balance between the need to vote on the transfer of functions which is critical but on the other hand, this is also a very important debate. It should not be curtailed. So, is it in order that we look at the voting now and then try and see if the House can approve extension of time so that we can clear both? view

• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: (Sen.(Prof) Kindiki: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not intend to disrupt the Senator. For internal deployment, the approval is sought from the National Assembly in accordance with Section 33 of the Kenya Defence Forces Act, 2012. view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the last clarification.

Today, I am a proud Member of this House.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, I want to pay tribute to all the distinguished colleagues who have contributed to this Motion passionately and with a lot of experience, right from the Attorney General emeritus, Amos Wako and all the Senators, literally.

I cannot fail to mention the distinguished Senator for Garissa, our former Minister for Defence, G.G. Kariuki, our former Minister for Internal Security, Kembi-Gitura, a seasoned lawyer ... view
