He knows what I am talking about. We met in the morning to agree on what the National Treasury is going to do in as far as the Kshs33 billion of Members is concerned. So, through you, if you can allow him, he can update us so that we know the status of the CDF and the discussion he had with the National Treasury. He represents us and he cannot just be there. Leadership must be provided. The CDF is very critical to Members and Hon. Lessonet owes this House an explanation.

21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, through your guidance, can we allow the Chairpersons of the Committees to table their status reports for the HBC to look at? Secondly, in their reports, they should indicate the dates on which they are going to table their reports. That, again, will guide the House Business Committee. Tomorrow, 22nd October 2015, all the reports of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives will be tabled. We can check whether the Member who says that he is a standing Member in that committee is going to do what has gone into the HANSARD. As they give us ...

Hon. Speaker, this is a very straight forward matter. Following the direction you gave that the putting of the Question in Third Reading of this Bill be deferred and referred to the HBC, I would like to confirm that, indeed, the HBC sat this afternoon and agreed to schedule this Motion on the Supplementary Order Paper. Hon. Speaker, in accordance with Standing Order No.136, I propose that the House agrees with the Committee of the whole House on the said report by re-committing Clauses 34 and 37 of the Bill.

21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
THAT, Clause 34 of the Bill be deleted. I seek the deletion of this clause because Article 34(2) of the Constitution provides for freedom of the media and their right not to be penalised for any opinion or view or the content of any broadcast, publication or dissemination. To the extent that this provision seeks to penalise the media, it is inconsistent with the Constitution. It is a good day for me. If you remember that Wednesday morning, it was the first time in my life that I could not convince the members I command. Hon. Gumbo, Hon. Keynan and ...

21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
provided for in the Standing Orders, there would be no way of turning back the train. So, it is a good day for our country. We must believe in an open society. I attended the Parliamentary Week when Parliament opened its gates to the public. We cannot have the choice of opening our gates for only one week in a whole year. As legislators, let us open all doors to the media, as a watchdog of the people, so that they can scrutinize us personally and our integrity. They should scrutinise the reports that Committees do in this House. They ...
