(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. So, I thank those who have contributed and the Mover of this Motion as well. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also thank the determination of the Chair that this is a Motion that relates to concerns of the counties. In the coming days, we know or we believe that the Constitution or the Standing Orders will be interpreted liberally, so as to find as many matters as possible that relate to counties if the Senate is to discharge its duties of being the protector of the interests of counties and county ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to give another angle to the issue raised by Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Kajwang. There is a lot of jurisprudential value in what Sen. Wetangula was requesting you to make a decision on, particularly when it comes to the importance in future decisions. Considering the weighty nature of the decision we are about to make, is it in order to request you to sleep over this matter and give a more weighty ruling tomorrow?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to eulogize the great lawyer that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo was. Unlike many of the speakers who spoke before me, I never had personal interaction with the late Mutula Kilonzo. However, I remember that when I was making a decision to become a lawyer, three people were inspirational to me. One of them was the late Sen. Mutula Kilonzo. The other was James Orengo. Therefore, when I was elected to the Senate and I heard that they had been elected through their respective political parties to become Senators, I knew that was an opportunity for me ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to join my colleagues and the whole nation in condoling a hero. On behalf of my family, myself and the fraternity of people with disabilities, I wish to mention two issues that the late Senator was very passionate and supportive of. We, the persons with disabilities, always called him “the disability champion”. Whenever we had issues, I can remember way back in the 1997 you would call some young lawyers and ask them issues of persons with disability---- A lot of pro bono services were offered because of him. People with disabilities remember ...
