• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I perfectly agree with you that my point of order has nothing to do with the clarification you have made. But it has been triggered by the contribution of my very good friend, hon. Sakaja to the extent that after you have given a Communication, an hon. Member cannot give a view that may appear to differ. This is a House of rules; it is a House of records; it is a House of traditions. It is a tradition of this House that even after the Chair has given direction and especially if that direction is intended to ... view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I actually had absolutely no intention of making any intervention in this Bill; but I have been listening very keenly and following the debate with a lot of interest, because I believe it is a very important and fantastic Bill. But the hon. Member for Homa Bay Town has made a potentially disparaging remark and cast serious aspersion on the good name of the constituency I represent and in the presence of these fantastic and young Kenyans from St. Benedicts High School in Budalang’i, who are in the House. Will it not be ... view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with due respect to the hon. Member Homa Bay Town, if Budalang’i is so endowed with a professional cleanser and inheritor, it is for the benefit of the many women in this country, who may be in need of such service, to know the identity of this particular individual; his identity may only be in the knowledge of hon. Kaluma. Hon. Speaker, who knows, I may actually be required by my constituents to direct them to this professional service provider, and also open a national bureau and direct them to this particular service; it would be extremely useful. ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me take this opportunity to join my colleague, hon. Mbadi. On behalf of the PAC, we express our grave disaffection with the manner in which this report on the hiring of the aircraft of the Deputy President has been handled by the HBC. The Committee fulfilled its mandate as required by the House. As indicated on the Order Paper, we tabled this Report on Wednesday, 23rd day of April. That is four months ago. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the HBC must have some logical way of doing things that can make sense. If a report that was tabled in April, 2014 is not given priority and instead other reports that came much later--- The first report listed there was tabled on Thursday, 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. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: 24th July, 2014. What logic could possibly be informing the manner in which the HBC prioritizes business? view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The PAC has been very concerned about this matter. It has raised fears in some of us as to whether there has been intention to deliberately delay debate on this matter until public conscience has sort of forgotten it. We wish to note for the record that we are certainly not pleased as a Committee and we would like to see the HBC do better and certainly give this report the first priority. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you look at the Order Paper, you will find that it is the oldest report pending debate in this House. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I just wanted you to allow me to add my voice to this matter. While I agree with the Leader of Majority Party that it is a matter which may appear to be pretty straightforward, my colleague, the hon. Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, has raised what I believe to be a weighty matter that will do well to receive due consideration of the Chair. Hon. Speaker, caucusing is part of the traditions and customs of this House. We always formed caucuses in the Tenth Parliament. I actually formed a caucus ... view
