• 30 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, regarding water harvesting, the only way that devolution can work is if we not only devolve the administration of Government in this country, but also keep our populations in our counties. The only way of keeping those populations there is by making sure that, for example, there is adequate water for industrial use. If we want to make agriculture a profitable business that can keep our young people in our rural areas, we must have adequate water for irrigation. I just wanted to link equalization of the country with proper water harvesting policies, ... view
• 30 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to congratulate the committee for a good job and for taking the role of the Senate very seriously. In particular, I commend their role in putting a lot of focus on our interaction with the county governments and counties. Reading this report, I was excited that the interactions were with the real policy makers and implementers at the local level, that is the county government and ECD institutions; various primary schools such as Saria, Ikonge and polytechnics like Matongo in Nyamira County. It is important that we contextualize our role as the Senate, particularly ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have written a letter to the Ministry but we have not received a response. We have now resolved to call the Minister next week and then, thereafter, we shall bring the answer. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence and the indulgence of my friend, Sen. Kanainza, I beg to be allowed to bring the answer on Thursday next week. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am actually surprised with the statement which has been made here by my colleague, the Senator for Mombasa, who is actually a good friend of mine. First of all, it is not in the nature of the Senate Majority Leader to conduct business or speak those kinds of words. My record is very clear in this House. More fundamentally, the Senator for Mombasa is out of order because, in my view, he is trying to say that the Senate Majority Leader has communicated in a way other than the usual way in this House ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have a point of clarification but to just request the Chair that next time such an answer must be broken down in a more consumable language; not a technical language. Part of the reason why many Senators are not seeking clarifications is because he has hidden himself behind the technical knowledge. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with my brother, the Senator for Kakamega County, that what is happening in Turkana County deserves a very comprehensive and thorough Statement. This is not only touching on national security, but also on the future relationship between our country and investors. As important as this is, it is something that should be processed through the usual way, through the Chairman of the relevant committee in this case maybe the Committee on Security and Foreign Relations because of the security implications or the Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation. I do not see ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with all the Senators who have spoken here on this matter, that is, the Senator for Isiolo, the Senator for Meru and even the Chair of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. Boundaries are very sensitive. I am rising on a point of order because I have looked at the issue of boundaries. Unlike other areas in view
