• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to encourage you to shift your gear from that mild agony as to where you will start because Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., has already made a formal application on the Floor to the Chair to make a determination. I want to refer you to Standing Order No.1 and the realm of jurisprudence that you are walking into because that Standing Order is rarely read in totality. It says- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: “1 (2) The decisions made in paragraph (1) shall be based on the Constitution of Kenya, statute law and the usages, forms, precedents, customs, procedures and traditions of the Parliament of Kenya and other jurisdictions to the extent that these are applicable to Kenya”. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to underline “precedents” because that is what you are about to set. Whatever you are going to determine is going to be part of the procedures of not only this House but also Commonwealth parliaments. Whatever you decide here - I have sat in the CPA for many years - decisions made in this House and any other House in the Commonwealth, resonate throughout the entire Commonwealth. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: I came across decisions made by former Speaker, Hon. Marende, being used in making decisions in New Zealand and other parts. So, you are about to make profound pronouncements that will determine the future. I want to encourage you, because I do remember with my distinguished colleagues, Senior Counsel George Oraro, we went to court to represent Hon. Francis Ole Kaparo as Speaker in some matter where the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga had taken him to court for allowing strangers to vote. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: The court demanded to see the HANSARD to make a proper determination. So, every single business we transact here in law making can be summoned by court to determine what the thinking, speaking and the phraseology of Parliament was. I will also encourage you to look at Erskine May on parliamentary procedure. That will tell you that, what the Speaker says even casually - that is why we always like how matters are said here because there is nothing like a casual remark from the Chair - it goes into the realm of history. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, remember the distinguished great judgments from Lord Denning, Lord Deblock, our own C.B. Madan and so on. They had a lot of regard for what went on in Parliament in processing the law before it becomes law. So, whatever you are going to say, and we encourage you to give this country--- You sit in a unique position because you are the first Professor of Law in the history of this country to sit on that Chair. We had a Prof. Jonathan Ng‟eno but I think he was a professor in Theology or something like that. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: You are a professor of law sitting in a law-making House to set precedent that will determine not only how we conduct ourselves here but ten other parliaments to come will say: „What did Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki say on this matter?” You may also look at the book written by Patrick Gichohi on parliamentary proceedings and procedures in Kenya where he elaborates very clearly and quotes other jurisdictions extensively, how Presidents inform the conduct, management and pronouncements of Speakers in comparative jurisdictions. This will really help this House. I am excited to see that we are going that direction and ... view

• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: I was, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. At the rise of the House, I was on the Floor. I invited the Majority side to look at the Bill and see whether the creation of these four offices is necessary, that is, the office of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Fund manager, the Custodian of the Scheme and the Administrator. That needs to be looked at. view
