Therefore, trying to synchronise legislative business and executive business is very difficult. There are two things: One, as I said before, a determination was made by the Chair that the Senate Majority Leader ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for protecting me from the excesses of Sen. Wetangula. Ordinarily, even in the circumstances we are in, if I was approached by a Chair of a Committee who needs an answer urgently and cannot obtain it from a Cabinet Secretary or a Principal Secretary, I would facilitate. That would take hours or minutes. However, I have not been approached. That is the spirit that we should continue with. Let us not blame any person and yet we have not exhausted the avenues that exist. view

• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hope that Sen. James Orengo has heard, because he is the one who caused the altercation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the Senate Majority Leader and Senate Minority Leader, we felt that this is where an interested Senator could bring an amendment. You will expect also the Senate Minority Leader to provide an alternative to some of the policy and legislative interventions that have been proposed by the President during his address. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the Motion and request Sen. Moses Wetangula to ... view

• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Senate Minority Leader in order to insinuate that those of us on the Majority side, who consciously elected Sen. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki to be the Senate Majority Leader, could have used any other means? Is that language fit for description of Senators on the Majority side? view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is my brother, Sen. Wetangula in order also to refer to the Senate Majority Leader as a “young” Senator? “Youth” is defined in the Constitution as one belonging to the age group 18 to 35, and the Senate Majority Leader is way above that. In any case, the Chair has directed before that the only Senators who can be referred in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to, first of all, support the Motion, but with amendments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this is a very important Motion because it is dealing with a very important subject; a constitutional subject, which is the Presidential Address.
