5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly:
This is the House of representatives of the people of Kenya and it is a House that should set the role model for the rest of the country. As the leader of a coalition here, and the leadership of the House, we want to follow the procedure. Even in every single activity that goes through this House, the Standing Orders and the Constitution provide the way forward.

5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly:
I do not want to go to what happens in City Hall, because it does not exist anymore. The only problem is that, part of the leadership in the former City Hall has decided to come here and that is the right of the people of Kenya. That is why in the last Parliament, the people of Kenya and this House decided that leadership will not be pegged on qualification. At one time, I was with the great Senator of Siaya, the hon. James Orengo. We wanted to peg leadership on degrees.

5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, we were wrong. The House disagreed with us and said that leadership is God given. How you behave is not God given in this House. How you behave depends on what you did prior to your coming to the Chamber, what you ate, what you drunk, who you met and what caucus you did. At the end of every Motion or Bill, the Standing Orders are very clear that a vote will be taken. Yesterday, you made it very clear that the Chair does not have a vote but each and every hon. Member here has a ...

5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is the people of Kenya who decided who will have the majority or who will have the minority. It is the Kenyan people who decided on the 4th of March, 2013, who will be in the Opposition and who will be in the Government. It is the Standing Orders that state the role and the mandate of the Opposition and that of the Government. We want to make it very clear that some of us want to be role models, at least, to our family, to our sons and daughters back at home, and by extension ...

5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I want a communication whether it is at the Committee stage or on the plenary that this House must run through decorum. That you cannot shout from where you sit. You can shout in a funeral! You can go on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and shout in a funeral or a political rally. You can shout in your house; close the doors, shout and you can even walk naked in your house, but the moment you enter that door, you are an hon. Member of the august House. I remember you issuing a similar communication, but I want ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No.30(3)(a), this House resolves to extend its sitting until 1.00 p.m. I am doing this out of procedure because our good friend, hon.

We request this House to give 30 minutes so that hon. Ganya--- As we stand here, people are dying in Marsabit. So, the Member of Parliament and the House can ...
