• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: colleagues in the Opposition conducted themselves through this period. I am proud of them.

I feel very ... view

• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not end my remarks responsibly without also commending the media, because they reported this incident so responsibly. They never showed unnecessarily alarming pictures and I think they tried their best. Let us also be fair – they tried and I think going forward, they can only do better. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, as parliamentarians and as Senators, we are together with the country. Let the terrorists be told that we will never be cowed; our spirit will even grow stronger, we will not surrender our nation to thugs and bandits. They can get that ... view

• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to raise a procedural issue. I have no problem with what the Senator for Nairobi County is saying. We all said that, as a Senate, we are not afraid of anything or anybody when it comes to issues of national security. However, as a matter of procedure, what the Senator for Nairobi County has done is actually to apportion blame. That is why I think this is an adverse mention to Michael Gichangi. He has already formed judgment--- view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): No, this is just procedural. I think this is the wrong time to do so. Investigations have not been done and we have not been told who has done what--- view

I take this opportunity to pass my heartfelt condolences to the people who were affected both by those who died and those who are in hospital, the majority who were traumatized and the people of Kenya, in general. I want to say; pole sana . Madam Temporary Speaker, 21st September, 2013 was, unfortunately, my birthday.

I felt very sad because there ... view

• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, last Saturday some wicked people did what they did. It was very sad, indeed. In the process, they have awakened the Kenyan dream. I stand here to tell them that our country will never be the same again. Our flag, our national anthem and our map is going to rise and rise forever. I want to conclude by saying that Kenyans and friends have done their bit depending on their strength, ability and expertise. We, as legislators, will do our bit. When this dust settles, we want a Motion to be able to, first ... view
