• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, that was a good commercial break. Let me say that for any Senator, and in this particular situation, I am referring to Sen. Stephen Ole Ntutu, Senator for Narok County, his omission on this list is purely unintended and I want to apologize to him in person and to the people of Narok County for the oversight. This list was not drawn by the Senate Majority Leader. There have been as much consultation as possible and I believe that even from the Minority side, there have been adequate consultations. This list also has been ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a Member of the Rules and Business Committee where we have discussed, internally, this matter. I think my deputy was not in that meeting. The list we have presented is the position of the Jubilee Coalition on membership to committees. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of information. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in Senate: He is willing to be informed. I think the fact that the Senate Majority Leader has decided that his position of the Senate Majority Leader and a Member of the Rules and Business Committee is very strong, maybe this is a pointer to his selfless leadership and sacrifice. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that Message and Communication. I rise to seek clarification on the numbers to constitute the committee. We have three members of that committee who will come from this House but I assume in the tradition and structure of doing things, it will be on a two to one basis; two from the majority side and one from the minority side. Other than that, Mr. Speaker, Sir, is to say that the communication that you have read to this House is what should have been happening all along. I want to be ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, the term “middlemen” was not used in the commercial sense. It was used in the sense that there is a legislature, parliament, on one side and there is the executive on the other side as an arm of Government. I made it very clear to the Executive that it is not the role of the Executive to make laws. It is the role of Parliament. What the Executive can do is to propose laws which they think can help them realise their manifesto or view of things because they have been elected in office ... view

• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know my brother, Sen. Wetangula, is on a point of order, but he is breaking the procedure in the pretext of being on a point of order. Is he in order to impute things that I have not said here on the Floor? I have not said the Jubilee Government operates through middlemen. I said there are people and institutions who have arrogated themselves roles they do not have between the Executive and the Legislature, simple as that. This is a House of record. Please, Leader of the few, do not impute improper ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no problem pursuing the route suggested by my colleague, Sen. Ndiema, because we must be taken seriously. We are not taking half measures. So, if it is something that needs to be in writing, we will ask the presidency to do a circular, which we are willing, once it is done, to even submit for record purposes before this House, so that we can settle this issue once and for all. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will guide us because I thought this question should be directed to the Chair of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, unless there is a special reason. You have guided us properly on this matter, that chairs of committees should take charge of issues unless there are extra-ordinary circumstances where the default mechanism of the Majority Leader is invoked. view
