"content": " I rise to oppose this exemption in relation to Order No.17. Why are we pushing this exemption? I may understand Orders 13 and 16 because they relate to the Division of Revenue Bill, which we know has a time limit. Therefore, I can understand that in the budget cycle, we may need to push them forward. What is the urgency about Order No.17? Why are we pushing it forward and yet we know very well that it should not be discussed today, being a day for Private Members’ matters? My major concern arises from what is in the Order Paper for the Afternoon Sitting. We are exempting the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill so that we can start its Second Reading today. If you go to what is proposed for the Afternoon Sitting, however, the Bill is already listed for Committee of the whole House. Colleagues, we are in a hurry to get things done without knowing what we are discussing or their intentions. This means only respective Committees understand these things. If we go on like this, we are going to pass things that are so unpopular. People will lose faith in this House. We do not want what happened in Senegal to happen to us. Their President decided, through Parliament, to postpone elections. People went to the streets. If people lose faith in this House, we only have two options left. The people will either take the law into their own hands and we go back to maandamano, or they will come and burn this House. Every time, we must be considerate about why something is being done. The general principle why I am opposing the exemption of Order No.17 is that we are not giving Members time to understand what is going on in Parliament, which is going to affect their lives. I can understand exemption of Orders 13 and 16 because they relate to the budget process. What about Order No.17? I oppose."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have a lot of respect for Hon. Nyikal. I have previously worked with him in the same Government. He knows I am part of the mandarins of the Government. I know he is well versed with procedure and we must thank him very much for being hawk-eyed in terms of looking at things that he thinks are not relevant for the House this morning. However, if Hon. Nyikal was careful when I tabled the Report on the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, he would have known that part of the problem that we have as the Committee on Delegated Legislation is that many statutory instruments lapsed in January. Almost over 2,000 statutory instruments have lapsed. We need to resolve that question in this House and allow the institutions to operate. The services you are requesting in your constituency may not be offered in due course because no one will be willing to give you any service as there is no law. Your sitting here to discharge functions under Article 95(2) of the Constitution to resolve issues that are of concern to the people, will not assist your people. This is one of the issues that are of concern to the people and that we seek to resolve this morning. I would like to plead with my very good friend; he is always very understanding. When reason is provided, he is a very reasonable man. I thank him. He is even smiling now. When he contributed, he was very annoyed. Now he is smiling. I thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
