• 3 Dec 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move:- THAT, the Speaker do now leave the Chair to facilitate debate on the National Honours Regulations, 2013, laid on the Table of the Senate on Wednesday, 20th November, 2013, pursuant to Section 14 (3) of the National Honours Act, 2013.

It is something that is taken with great responsibility, so that when the President is acting as the Head of State, he needs to ... view
• 3 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when your son or daughter calls you “daddy,” you can almost shed a tear. It is a very honourable position. So, if we even call the President and equate him to be being a father, we are actually bestowing upon him a title that is even greater than the word “Head of State.” It is more honourable and responsible.
