The Committees will then write their reports during the three days that will follow, that is, 12th, 13th and 14th December, 2015, including the holiday and the weekend, before consideration by the House by Tuesday, 15th December 2015. Under the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 the 14 days expire on 15th December 2015. We, therefore, seek to extend the window so that the House can sit on Wednesday and Thursday, 16th and 17th December, 2015 to consider those matters.

3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I thank the Chairperson and members of the Committee for burning the midnight oil to save the Executive from an imminent embarrassment. This Agreement was brought before the Committee yesterday when the Cabinet Secretary (CS) appeared before it. The Committee sat and wrote this Report. The ratification of this Agreement is important at this time because Kenya is hosting the annual WTO Ministerial Conference between 14thand 18thDecember, 2015. All member countries must complete their domestic ratification process for the Trade Facilitation Agreement to come into effect. Some countries have ratified the Agreement while others are ...

3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, you need to protect me from the second termer, because he is old enough in this House to know that there is a procedure where you wait for your time to speak or air your views. You are not part of the Leader of the Majority Party’s constituency or leadership. You will contribute later. So, there are a lot of benefits for our country. Those are the good things that the Constitution 2010 provided to the National Assembly. We now have an opportunity, on behalf of the people of Kenya, to ratify any agreement that the Executive signs ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to recognise the contribution of one Hon. K’oyoo. He is representing not only himself, but a whole coalition. I must go on record to thank him. I want him to be applauded because he is a very serious Member from that coalition. I also want to thank my colleagues from the ruling coalition who took their time to pass a constitutional Bill. This is one of the most controversial Bills in the media. There are many things that Mr. Swazuri and Mr. Matiang’i said, but today, it is very sad that nobody is even ...

I want to thank the Chairman of the Lands Committee, his Vice-Chairman, the Members of the Committee and the Members who have remained here, including my good friend, Hon. Raymond Moi at the back there, to make sure that as we go home, we fulfill our duty in passing a constitutional Bill. This is a great day and a very good evening. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a good friend of mine, coming from that coalition, you need to crack the whip on the leadership. At least, Hon. Nyenze should have been here because leadership is not only on title, ...

Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.28, this House adjourns its sittings until Tuesday, 9th February, 2016 in accordance with the calendar of the Assembly (Regular sessions). Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, at the outset I would like to thank Kenyans who played a big role in ensuring that Parliament discharges its duties. As you are aware, this year we received high profile visitors. In July, 2015 we hosted President Barrack Obama. His visit has sent a message internationally about Kenya’s ability despite the terrorist threats that it has to deal ...
