• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is just a quick question I wanted to contextualize. Is Sen. Orengo in order to try to change the provisions of Standing Order No.29 to imagine that the Standing Order requires you to give reasons when it basically talks about discretion of the Chair? view

• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On 17th July, 1998, an important event took place in the City of Rome, Italy. This was the signing by 120 countries of the Rome Statute that established the International Criminal Court (ICC). At that time, Kenya did not participate in that conference. But in 2005 on the same day, which is also curious, Kenya signed and ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC. However, the scheme of pursuing international justice under the Rome Statute over the years has been replaced with a lot of worry, concern and challenge. As I begin ... view

• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, what was created or crafted as an institution to shield vulnerable populations from the ravages of law and massive gross systematic human rights violations has been turned into a vehicle for pursuing international politics in the most rudimentary and most discriminatory, most capricious and racist manner.

Thank you for protecting me. I think we should go on with this Motion because that is what has brought us here. In my view, we all know what happened in this country in 2007/2008. We regret the deaths of people that occurred during that time and as a country, we all stand here in shame, without exception. All Kenyans failed and especially the leadership of Kenya failed the people of Kenya at the hour of need. ... view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, somebody should be shown the direction of the Chair because some of my not so digital colleagues are asking what googling is. Having said that, on a more serious note, I would like to say that at the heart of the matter, the proceedings that have began today and will continue for the next several years in this country represent the darkest moments in Independent Kenya and all The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
