Members who wish to walk out of the Chamber, do so with order. The Bill that is being moved has tremendous consequences on many of the things that this country is doing. I would expect you to listen to the Leader of the Majority Party, contribute where you can, or vote when the vote is called. It is not fair for you to vote on a Bill whose debate you have not listened to."

It is premature of us to get excited because we are expected to vet those nominees. I could only take this opportunity to congratulate my good friend, Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona, who has already taken over an important seat that is being left vacant in this House. It is not a position. By the way, any Member can sit anywhere."

Speaker, under normal circumstances, the Chairperson of the relevant Committee, under whose mandate the Bill falls, moves such a Motion to consider the Senate amendment to a Bill that originated in the National Assembly. In this case, it is the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. In the present case, I have decided to move the Motion as the Sponsor of the Bill to expedite its consideration owing to the peculiar circumstances of the positions taken by the two Houses on the Bill."

"content": "Hon. Speaker, thank you because you have pointed it out to Members that this Bill has huge implications on the conduct of business for both public and State officers. Therefore, it is important that Members pay attention to all the amendments that are proposed by the Senate, and that were communicated to the House on 4th June 2024. The amendments were committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for consideration and reporting to the House. The nature of the amendments received from the Senate have largely informed my decision to move this Motion to catalyse the Bill’s inevitable referral to mediation. As I said, the Senate made amendments that would necessitate us getting into mediation. However long the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs team takes, the end result will be the same - getting into a mediation committee that can unlock the extremely divergent views of the two Houses on the contents of the Bill. I will highlight them shortly."

The Parliamentary Service Commission is responsible for all parliamentary staff. The Bill, as published, sought to change this by making the EACC responsible for all State and public officers.
