• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Order, Senators! The Motion in Order No.8 has been deferred after consultations with the Speaker to enable the concerned parties to consult further. This request was made by the Senate Minority Leader and Minority Whip to enable them to do further consultations. Therefore, for now the Motion is dropped. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to also make my contribution to this Motion, which has been moved by my friend, the Senator for Kisumu, Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o. Madam Temporary Speaker, from the outset, we all know as Kenyans that multiparty democracy is extremely central to our constitutional order. We all know also, as Kenyans, that effective vibrant political parties are a crucial stabilizer of the functioning of our democracy. So, I do not think that anybody is challenging the fact that for political parties to make their contribution in accordance with the law and Constitution, there is ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I appreciate the point of order raised by my sister, Sen. Ong’era. But I began my contribution by saying that the things that the Mover of this Motion is citing are constitutional and legal issues. We have not debated about that, but we have also to contextualize things. That is why I said that in terms of political parties getting money, we are agreed. In terms of who is responsible, we are not agreed, because I think that it is the national Treasury. Thirdly, in terms of how that money should come, we believe ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I am contributing to this Motion and I think I should be given my freedom of debate. I should not be curtailed from saying what I think. That is the purpose of parliamentary debates. All I am saying is that we are urging the political parties who will benefit from the funding, first of all, to look for money elsewhere and also to use this money for the right objectives. In the past, we have seen parties claiming money for use on other things. Madam Temporary Speaker, when Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o rose here to ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Yes. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, this Motion is not about how many Members of Parliament each political party has. The popularity thing is a theory and it exists only in the imagination of the minority. They believe they are very popular but we have never seen that popularity. Last week I was here with my troops and I did not see that popularity. What I saw was a defence mechanism of a group which had been reminded where it belongs. I think seriously what we need in this country is the truth. People should accept where they are. That ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. First of all, I want to mention very clearly here that I am a member of a political party and I am not an independent candidate. I am a member of a vibrant political party known as the United Republican Party (URP), one of the few youngest parties which grew very fast, with almost over 90 Members in both the National Assembly and the Senate, more than 400 Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and over 10 governors, yet the party was ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- APPROVAL OF SEN. MUTULA KILONZO JUNIOR’S MEMBERSHIP TO THE LEGAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE view
