• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I now see a lot of sense in what Members have said. The whole of Clause 37 is offensive. The amendment suggested by the Member for Turkana was trying to improve on the language of the original Bill. Therefore, even if we adopt it, the amendment does not change anything. What I ask Members to do is to completely remove the whole of Clause 37. That is allowed.

• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: amendment is defeated or passed. When it comes to voting on the whole clause, we can agree to reject it and have it deleted. The other option is this: I can quickly draft an amendment. view
