• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for that direction. I think that we really need to be careful, because some of the statements that we make here are being consumed sometimes wholeheartedly by the people who elected us. But my point of order is further to that. The danger that I see is that you even destroy the reputation of service providers in the ambulance industry. Finally, I do not think that television footage can be the basis of making that allegation. The Senator is out of order, especially by saying that ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point of order is: Can television footage be the basis of making serious allegation? view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: I have been to Makadara and 37 roads to the city centre would have made traffic jam a thing of the past. Could the Senator for Nairobi substantiate where those roads are, unless they are in his own imagination? view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. How does a traffic jam make a country collapse? Is the Senator in order to insinuate that when there is a traffic jam in Nairobi, this beautiful country collapses? view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a House of records. Is Sen. Elachi in order to suggest that when the tender for the railway line is given, part of it will be eaten through corruption? If she is in order? Could she substantiate her source of information? view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, similarly, I rise to support this Motion and congratulate the Senator for Kirinyaga County who has kept this Senate alive today. We spent the whole morning debating a Motion which he brought, although it was a sophisticated debate. Some of the Members who are digitally challenged had to walk out and go to the lounge, because they could not even understand what cable cars are. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for that request for clarification. What I meant was that all of us are not at par technologically. That is a fact. As to whether all those who walked out, did so for that purpose, I did not say so. I just said that, perhaps, that is why some of them walked out. I know one or two, but I will protect their identity for the sake of--- view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I cannot mention them. Madam Temporary Speaker, having said that, I just want to congratulate the Mover of this Motion which I find extremely useful for our country. The only thing that I would add is that I hope that we can think about other towns and cities, so that we do not have to pass a Motion or law for every city or town. Madam Temporary Speaker, many things have been said about the misuse of sirens. I want to agree with the speakers who have spoken before me, that this is a ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, a few weeks ago, there was a similar Motion here on the fibre optic cable, which was brought by the Senator for Nyeri County. Going forward, there is need to put in place a law which stipulates law that any engineer designing or building a road must include a duct which can be used for the channeling of these fibre optic cables and not just for one company, but any person who wants to lay their cables. If we go this route, we can also demand, because of the dangers that we are seeing from overhead electric ... view
