• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with due respect to hon. Wamalwa, I will go further and, indeed, ask for the production of the entire HANSARD report to show how hon. Wamalwa behaved throughout the proceedings and, in fact, in one of the meetings, how one of the witnesses named him for obvious reasons. Hon. Speaker, it is good to be frank. It is good to be consistent. I did not want to take this route. In fact, I will ask, because the department is under you, for the production of the entire HANSARD proceedings in Mombasa. He was party to it. If he ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: “If a Member has sufficient reason to convince the Speaker that the Member is unable to substantiate the allegations instantly, the Speaker shall require that such Member substantiates the allegations not later than the next sitting day, failure to which the Member shall be deemed to be disorderly within the meaning of Standing Order 107 view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: unless the Member withdraws the allegation and gives a suitable apology, if the Speaker so requires.” Hon. Speaker, and this is as read with the provisions of Standing Order No107 – Grossly disorderly conduct – which states: “Conduct is grossly disorderly if the Member concerned- (i) creates actual disorder; (ii) knowingly raises a false point of order; (iii) uses or threatens violence against a Member or other person; (iv) persists in making serious allegations without, in the Speaker’s opinion, adequate substantiation; (v) otherwise abuses his or her privileges; (vi) deliberately gives false information to the House; (vii) votes more than ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In fact, this is more than what is stated. He was part of the Committee. He appended his signature and yet here he is, because of tribal considerations and other considerations, purporting to mislead this august House--- view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Okay. Let me withdraw the part where I used the word “tribal”. What I am trying to say, hon. Speaker, is that this commits any serious breach--- I want to confirm that hon. Wamalwa was part and parcel of this report. The HANSARD will bear me and other Members out. I want the entire HANSARD proceedings of this report to be produced and that is what will confirm what every Member said. Every Member participated and that remains the true and factual position. The day before we were to submit the report to you, he was among the Members who ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. First of all, I think we are mixing so many things. I do not want to take the route suggested by hon. Kimaru. This report is the property of the House. We are entitled to make amendments. In fact, we have just consulted with hon. Kaluma and we had agreed in changing the wordings of those two clauses, 6 and 7 and that will satisfy what hon. Speaker has suggested. So, to that extent, there is no need for the adjournment of this particular Motion. Any other Member is entitled to bring an amendment and the ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: change; please bring it and let us look at it and if it makes sense, the House will approve. This is your property. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, with due respect, the report has a number of elements. There are submissions by witnesses, then there are Committee observations based on what the witnesses said and then there are recommendations. The best way is for any Member who sees that there is any anomaly here, please, flag it, bring an amendment and it is going to be very easy. That is the way instead of making reference to the submissions by a witness, which we have no control of because witnesses could say anything. You can only interrogate us on the basis of the recommendations and ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: mean that Parliament cannot debate the issue and there was a ruling by your predecessors. Let us make a distinction on some of these issues. Please, hon. Wario should bring an amendment and we will be more than willing, as a Committee and as a whole House, to go through it and if it makes sense, have it captured in an amended form. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. From the start, as a country we are a bit confused. Sometimes we say that this is a premier nation and this is a very important continental player. However, the way we do things negates the very essence of what we have been trying to project. It is unimaginable and in my opinion criminal to deny the Republic of Kenya representation at the continental legislature simply because of our own parochial, regional and tribal politics. I may not agree with the list but a time comes when we must think of the nation before our ... view
