• 15 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the number of hon. Senators present in the House does not reach the minimum that is required to pass any Motion that affects counties. We are not even 24 hon. Senators present. Unless the nominated hon. ladies of this House tell us they have the necessary documents for them to represent some of the Heads of Delegations.

• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank Sen. Zani for bringing this Motion. I would wish to bring a new look at the new situation. The questions that I would like us to ask ourselves, as Kenyans and as leaders, are: Who are these people who are affected by floods? I have not heard of a leader, an administrator or a senior person in society having been marooned by rain or floods. Who are the affected and where are they? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many are the times when we watch television. We see people ... view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am very sorry to interrupt at this moment. I rise under Standing Order No.33 to move a Motion of Adjournment of the Senate to discuss a very important but urgent issue which I want this Senate to discuss with your permission. This issue is known to all the Senators. It is about the impasse and the paralysis of the county assemblies. As you all know, all county assembly members are on strike. Considering that this is one of our very important mandates, under Article 96; to protect the counties, I want ... view

• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Therefore, I beg to move that this House adjourns to be able to deliberate on this very important Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we are all very much aware, all the counties across the country have adjourned. I met some of the county assembly Speakers in Nairobi. Some of them were asking me to give them directions to the office of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. I even do not know the directions to that office because the Chair of that Commission has not been so friendly as to attract any elected Member to visit ... view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also want to support the decision that has been taken by the MCAs across our country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am speaking as the Senator for Tharaka Nithi and I want to say as follows. We have watched with disbelief as we vilify elected leaders and make it as if it is a criminal offence to be in representational politics. But no other cadre of leadership has been humiliated more than the MCAs. Madam Temporary Speaker, the gap between the salaries of MCAs and that of Members of the National Assembly ... view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, I welcome the information. view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): I want to thank my colleague, Sen. Billow Kerrow, for that information. We are not saying that secretaries are not important people. We are saying that people should be paid according to their qualifications and the functions that they perform. Having said that, I want to make a final remark. The Chair of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission whom we respect because of the Constitutional Office that she holds has gone overboard to abuse her constitutional position. She is behaving like a politician; she is issuing political statements and competing with politicians. In a nutshell, to exhaust ... view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Sen.(Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had moved the Motion. However, negotiations were going on. view
