Samwel Chepkonga","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Otiende Amollo raised his issue with the Speaker. Thereafter, the Speaker made a comprehensive ruling with regard to the matters he raised. I also listened to him carefully. As a result of the issues that he raised, I also proposed very many amendments to the Conflict of Interest Bill. Fortunately, my amendments agreed with those of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and, therefore, I abandoned my amendments to allow the Committee to carry theirs. In all ways, those amendments also agreed with those of Hon. Otiende Amollo. He is my friend and I respect him because he is knowledgeable in matters law. It is only that he missed yesterday’s sitting in the House. He is also a Member of the Departmental Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs. Lastly, we do not need to wait for the substantive Speaker to make a ruling. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know your capacity. You are also a qualified lawyer, having served as a Chief Registrar of the Judiciary. Hon. Otiende Amollo, former Chairperson Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ), should not demean the Deputy Speaker."}
