• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am smiling because the Minority is actually helping the Jubilee Government to perform. We are happy to listen to how we can improve ourselves, so that we can win the next general elections. Mr. Speaker, Sir, but having said so, there is a grave issue here. Some Senators, including Sen.

• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was ready to move this Procedural Motion, but when the Rules and Business Committee met this afternoon, it resolved and agreed that Orders Nos.8 and 9 be deferred to tomorrow.

• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Homa Bay is supporting me. The word “Minister” is not there. The word that is used is “Cabinet Secretary” which is the equivalent. My argument is that the officers who are serving as members of the executive committee are neither ministers nor Cabinet Secretaries. They are members of a committee, period. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I also want to call for humility from public servants.
