• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you. Hon. Members, there being no other contributor, I will call on the Mover of the Motion to reply. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Now that the Motion has been exhaustively debated by the Senators who were around today, I will put the question. Under Standing Order No.69, I need to clarify whether the Motion affects counties or not. This is a Motion that does not necessarily affect one county or the other. The Motion affects the whole country’s environment for that matter. Therefore, we do not need to have 24 Senators here. It will be voted on by Senators who are present. view

• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to seek your guidance on a minor but temporary matter. This concerns what the court declared yesterday in connection with my colleague, the Senate Minority Leader. I see Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is actually sitting on Sen. Wetangula’s chair. We need to get some guidance on this issue. Not that I have anything against Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, but there is need for clarity on this issue. On many occasions, the Office of the Senate Majority Leader is supposed to be dealing with that of the Senate Minority ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of Motion to the Department of Devolution and Planning. THAT, concerned that currently, Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) and members of the County Public Service Boards are not adequately remunerated resulting in demoralization and disillusionment amongst the MCAs and the inability of county public service boards to attract and retain qualified personnel; concerned further that consultation with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) on the matter has failed to yield any concession; aware that all county assemblies have, for a second time, adjourned indefinitely in order to press for improved ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to issue a Statement on the Business of the Senate for the week commencing 1st October, 2013 pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.43(2).

• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you because the point of order was raised specifically with regard to the Statement that was made by the Senate Majority Leader. I want to say that in accordance with the Standing Orders, the prioritization of business is the reserve of the RBC collectively as opposed to any particular person. It is for that reason that this is a Committee that is bipartisan and all parties are included just to make sure that no side is disadvantaged. I want to agree with the Senator for Kakamega County in the sense that there ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to the Senator for Migori County, I did not say that the RBC was unable to prioritize. I said two things; one, the mandate to determine which Business comes to the Floor of the House is given to the RBC, which is bipartisan and all parties are represented therein. But the second point I made is that, perhaps, we need some clarification in terms of the Standing Orders and practices as to whether there is a way in which people, parties or individual Senators who have submitted Business for ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is my senior in age, but he is my junior in this House. That position must be reaffirmed all the time. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not at any point say that Motions should supersede Bills. In fact, I said on the contrary; I said that Bills should be prioritized. Lastly, in terms of the way forward, the most important thing is what solutions we are offering. I speak now as just one of the Members of the RBC. Going forward, I think the secretariat ... view
