• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: That is okay, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will also try to take the shortest time possible. I want to appreciate the contribution by different hon. Members. It seems even from the contributions that many hon. Members did not go through the East African Treaty and what informed this Committee and Parliament by extension to come up with these unique rules. First of all, as a country, we are not operating in isolation. The proposed rules we have here are as a result of Article 50 of the East African Treaty which clearly stipulates how different member States are supposed ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: It is the same thing. I am sure because you came late you will give me an opportunity to air what the Members said. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the two emerging issues that Members clearly raised was how to vote.

• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Finally, the Assembly is supposed to be in place by 5th June. The rules are here and the different rules we are likely to see since it is going to take us weeks. Therefore, it is fair that this process is not delayed. We should conclude it at the earliest possible time, so that by the time the East African Heads of State are required to meet and inaugurate the next EALA members, Kenya should not be out of that group like it happened in 2007. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I know hon. Members will have an opportunity, if they want amendments to do the same, but we must also bear in mind that these rules are subject to the East African Treaty, court rulings and our Constitution. This must be the basis of any amendment that we are likely to bring. view

• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you! view
