"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I agree with the difficulty you find yourself in because you were not the substantive Speaker when the Mover was not called upon to respond. It just adds to the litany of improprieties that we propagate as a House. I rise under Standing Order 130E, and I will read it: “130E. Except as otherwise provided in these Standing Orders, the same rules of order and of debate for the conduct of business shall be observed in Committee as in the House.” Therefore, my understanding is that whether or not there is an amendment, we as Members are entitled to be heard on these matters. On that account, I beg to be heard on these matters. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"

You should now consider the clauses by commenting on them. That is the stage we are at in the Committee of the whole House. The Floor is open for any comments."

Mbui say that the National Assembly has become a House of bass and the Senate a House of soprano. If that is so, we must now be at the alto stage because it is clearly the same charade."

"speaker": null,
"content": "In fairness to the Senate, at least, they considered some amendments. They have slightly endeavoured to try and improve one or two things, but they have still overly failed miserably. The fact that even the Senate amendments are not being properly considered by this House shows that those who are propagating this whole idea are only interested in the funds and not in the why, what or how of the Bill. The technical, legal and policy issues we raised on the Affordable Housing Bill still remain untouched. To that extent, these amendments do not improve the original Bill and should be rejected."

"speaker_title": "Hon. Otiende Amollo",
"speaker": null,
"content": "Allow me to just give one example before I sit down. When we raised the question of how affordable housing relates to counties in this House, nobody wanted to hear that. At least in the Senate, they endeavoured to introduce Clause 31(a) that establishes the County Affordable Housing Committee. They then prescribed who should be in the Committee. This begs two questions. First, if we agree that affordable housing is a mandate for the county governments, why are we prescribing and legislating for the county governments on how to execute their mandate? It means we are reprobating from the Constitution."
