committee through a Motion. However, when we start the culture of forming adhoc committees then that means the Members who have membership to particular committees are abdicating their roles.

9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you look at the functions and the mandate of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and then compare them with the Motion before this House, that is duplication. I am even shocked that this is a coalition Motion and the Seconder comes from another coalition. It has never happened. Members of Parliament should know that you can second another Member’s individual private Motion---

Hon. Deputy Speaker on how we manage our coalition, it is the preserve of that coalition and its leadership. The Jubilee Coalition that I lead has structures and a code of ethics and we will do it outside the Chamber.

9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly:
However, coming to what I have said, and this is a message I want to send to all Members, a Member of Parliament can second his colleague Member of Parliament but where a coalition comes in, then that Member must consult the coalition on whether or not to support the other coalition. However, that is just for the time being.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, forgive me. If I refer the Members to that Act which was passed by this House, Section 4 talks about the functions of that Authority. What hon. Wanga is bringing is an Act whose functions are already here. The stage which the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing has reached as of today, it needs about a week to enforce and regularise all the good issues. These include issues on boda boda transport and traffic rules. In a week’s time, this Committee will finalise this.

Hon. Nyokabi is the Vice-Chair of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Tomorrow, a Member will bring a Motion to form an ad hoc Committee on a matter that they are investigating. The same will happen to the Chair of the Committee on Adminsitration and National Security. In today’s newspaper, a Member is saying that we do not need the two Committees of Defence and Foreign Relations and the Committee on Administration and National Security to investigate the Westgate attack. Can we form adhoc committees? What is the purpose? We cannot run Parliament that way. On procedure, we do ...

9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly:
Parliament has a budget and it cannot have two committees investigating the same issues. I want to inform my colleagues and my good friend, hon. Wanga, that this is not the way that we should go. She should withdraw this Motion and appear before this Committee. We should bring an amendment to the National Transport and Safety Authority Act and see how we can save the lives of our people.

months. We will be using resources. Also, why did we appoint, from both coalitions, competent Members to serve in the Transport, Public Works and Housing Committee? Why did we appoint competent Members to all the Committees? We did this so that we only have ad hoc committees where necessary. By passing this Motion, we are saying that we have no confidence in the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing.
