• 6 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a House of records and it is important that certain issues go on record. I want to pick from where my mentor, Sen. Orengo, left that, indeed, the question of the court does not arise. The issue of whatever court orders were given are not known to this House. What is known in this House is the different communication that came from Embu County which is different from the other one. It is important that this House passes this Motion. This House should operate with a lot of impartiality. This issue is clouded by the ... view

• 6 May 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on this point of order because I know that I will have an opportunity to speak again. This is not the same Motion. I want to support what Sen. Kipchumba Murkomen and Sen. James Orengo have said by adding the following. It is possible under the Constitution and also under the County Governments Act for several Motions involving the same county and the same Governor in different contexts to come every three months. So, this is not the same issues. Some of the issues could be similar ... view
• 6 May 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not intend to take too long. I have already said that among the various duties that this House has to perform, in my personal view, this is a very sad one. This is because it talks about, number one, a very important and critical office in the devolution system and that is the Office of the Governor. Number two, we are talking about removal from office which is quite a drastic and unfortunate event. Having said so, I would like to say that those who drafted this Constitution had a good reason ... view
• 6 May 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. The membership of the proposed Committee is very diverse. In terms of gender, it is also very diverse and in terms of the party. Both parties are--- view
• 6 May 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think I did not get what I was supposed to do. I will continue from where I left before the point of order was raised. view
• 6 May 2014 in Senate: To investigate the proposed removal from office of the Governor of Embu County and to report to the Senate within 10 days on its appointment on whether it finds the particulars of the allegations to have been substantiated. What we do here is critical for the country, devolution and for this House. You have, correctly pointed out that the least that is expected from this House as we debate this Motion is to maintain our sobriety and our cool because the Committee which is proposed here will be charged with the responsibility of discussing a matter that is quite grave ... view
• 6 May 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki); Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that reason, I am convinced that I want to be informed by the eminent Senator, James Orengo. 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
• 6 May 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. James Orengo, one of the solid minds that we have in this country for giving me that information. Having dispensed with the stature and position of the Executive and the Judiciary in a constitutional democracy that leads me to conclude that the superior and the unimpeded arm of Government that can claim that it is entirely drawing from the mandate of the people is the Senate and the National Assembly of Kenya. For that reason, let us not make mistakes and imagine, for example, that a member of the Executive or ... view
