• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, considering that the voting on all these amendments will be on the same Motion, is there anything that bars us from just voting on this one, vote on the next one without going for division in each one of them? view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: The two amendments, concurrently. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to congratulate Sen. Muthama for coming up with this very important Motion.

• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It must be made clear and I think my colleague did not do that, there has been representation to the public, the Standing Orders do not have the amendment so it must go to the public that we are not dealing with 20 per cent royalties anymore. There is an amendment to that and I think it should have been attached to the Order Paper. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to applaud the direction you have given as a way of clarification. We are setting precedence on these things.

What happens when already the Division Bell has been rung, the doors are closed, we are about to do a vote and we open the doors? What has necessitated that kind of opening when the procedure has not been followed? view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank Sen. Khalwale for seeing the urgency and desire that our teachers are taken care of. But one thing that I would wish to bring to the attention of hon. Senators is to remember who a teacher is. Try to define or imagine what role a teacher plays. I was a teacher between 1984 and 1985.

• 25 Jun 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I just want to know whether my senior in the profession and junior in this House is in order to insinuate that there are certain parts in this country which have no capacity to produce talents. This being the Senate – the House of reflection and the House of national unity – I plead that the Chair rules that my learned senior and junior in this House withdraws those remarks. view
