29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, based on the time and also because I am not intending to extend the Sitting this afternoon because I am fasting too, I will ask you that the Second Reading of the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill is not that urgent. I can do it next week on Wednesday so that we can go straight to the Committee of the whole House. This is because the Supplementary Appropriation Bill and the Small Claims Court (Amendment) Bill are very important. It is actually the President who wants - if the House agrees- to sign them into law plus, the ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, before I second, you know without the mask, it is always difficult to hear what Hon. Mishra says. Now with the mask, it has even complicated the matter. The quality of the mask he has looks like a piece of carpet.

It is so thick that nobody can hear what he is saying. He has said that I withdraw the word

which I have no problem doing. On the point of order of the Chair, Budget and Appropriations Committee, I will be the last person to impute improper motives on the Chair. Hon. Mbadi and the Members who were in the 10th Parliament will agree with me. I have seen more than four chairs of the Budget and Appropriations Committee; Hon. Ogindo, Hon. Mbau, and Hon. Mutava Musyimi. He is the fourth one and he is one of the best, and I can confirm that. Outside his competency, I can judge him the way I want. I have no amendment to ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, it was part of the notes I prepared just to caution the House. Hon. Deputy Speaker, next time you need to give Members wearing heavy masks specific microphones so that you can hear them, because you kept saying you could not hear what Hon. Mishra was saying, yet he is one of the best performing Members of Parliament. With those many remarks, I beg to second.

29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Chairman, before the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee moves an amendment, in line with the procedures of the House, he can only move amendments from the National Treasury. For that to happen, he must give you a copy of the letter from the National Treasury confirming to us that these amendments belong to the Government. Before he moves the amendment, can he confirm to the House that, that document has been sent to the Clerk and is in order? Otherwise, this House passed the Supplementary Budget Report. The only way we can alter it is if it ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that The Small Claims Court (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 4 of 2020) be now read a Second Time.

29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
This is a very small Bill. It has only three clauses. I do not want to take a lot of time. It is a Bill that is part of the business laws that we passed. This Bill seeks to strengthen the framework of enforcing contracts. It has three clauses. One, currently, the amount that the small businesses can take to the small claims court is Kshs200,000. We want to amend it to Kshs1million, so that more cases can be finished at that court.

Two, we have taken care of the advocates who represent those small traders. Three, advocates are known, and with a lot of respect to advocates who are seated in this House, for adjourning cases for many reasons. In this Bill, we are saying that adjournments can only be three and not more than that to make sure that Kenyans get justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. As we speak today, it is estimated that Kshs380 billion is stuck in commercial disputes in courts. I really want the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to listen to ...
