• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in your ruling, I want you to rule the Chairman of the Committee completely out of order for denying the House the opportunity. I thought I did not hear him right when he said that “we will sample”. The Constitution does not say: “A sample of county reports.” It says all reports must be debated by the House. But then they must be enabled to be able to look at all those reports within the next one and a half months because in my reading, debating and considering is within the three months that the Constitution talks ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the sentiments that have been made by Sen. Orengo, Sen. Murkomen and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale without repeating, over and above that, with regard to the specific issue of Members of this House not discussing matters that are before Committees. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request that you take a bit of time and give us an articulate ruling in your characteristic style because unless a Member of this House is a Member of a certain Committee, the nature of our business does not allow the rest ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am sorry I have to raise this issue severally. You were invited by the Senate Majority Leader to make a ruling or to interpret between the oversight role of this House and the county assemblies. If you all remember, there was a paper prepared by the Chair of the same Committee which is very informative. I am reading Article 226(2) of the Constitution which says:- “The accounting officer of a national public entity is accountable to the National Assembly for its financial management and the accounting officer of a county public ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir that is a very unique question. I am wondering how to convene a committee meeting. Anyway, we will try and bring an answer in two weeks. view

• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Further to what the Senator for Nyeri County has said, could the Senator for Bomet also, perhaps, rephrase the question? The reason is that I heard as if the Senator for Bomet County is questioning the mode of transport. The reason I am asking this is that we also do not want to look like a House that looks at small things like how people dress or how they travel, unless the question is that the use of this mode of transport is related to the expenditure in counties. ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There was an initial ruling that you made and I am surprised that I have been masquerading as the Chair of an ongoing Sessional Committee having held a meeting this morning. I did not know that we are functus officio. But if that be the case, I agree with your ruling that it should go to the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs, but, again, really to the point that there must be a link between an individual public officer spending money and misappropriation of county finance, so that then we ... view
