• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Hon. Members considering the time provision or this Motion, it is time for us to vote for the amendment and to allow the Mover of the original Motion to move the amended Motion. Considering that the amendment we introduced affects counties, I have received a request that we defer both the voting for the amendment and the ultimate Motion to the next day as provided for under Standing Order No.51 (3) to the next day. That means that the Motion will be voted for in the next sitting. We should therefore move to the next Motion. view

(Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise because I think whereas I really appreciate the need for us to have the Business of this House continue uninterrupted; whereas it is true that legislators are not bound to unnecessarily attend Executive functions, I however take great exception to the suggestion that it is wrong for the Executive to invite legislators to their functions. With very particular reference to what my brother, the Deputy Leader of Minority has said about SMSs--- view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. (Dr.) Machage. It is actually time for us to vote for the amendment which we want to defer because of the request on the fact that it is affecting counties. Thereafter it will be time for the Mover to reply. Therefore, we suspend both until the next sitting. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): The Acting Leader of the few. I know that, partly, I am the source of the SMSs that he is referring to. But I normally send them to the side of the coalition that belongs to the ruling party; I do not send them to the Opposition. It is not mandatory and, in fact, it was on the request by the legislators – the Senators and the Members of the National Assembly from the Jubilee Side – that they need to know. But for me, the more concrete thing--- view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: No, no, no; because for us, the more concrete thing is for us to say that it is not important for the entire Committee to attend, but they can send a representative. view

• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are very much aware in this House that to get the votes we need, we usually exceed the threshold with not more than five Senators; either we are 29 or we are 30. Tomorrow, we are making a very critical decision in terms of voting for this Bill. While acknowledging your decision, is it possible, because the Members are here, to vary your decision and request that the Chairperson and the Vice Chairperson of the Committee can travel and then the rest of us can remain to vote? view
