Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have serious Orders ahead of us, which include the Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Bill at the Committee Stage and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill at the Committee Stage. I urge my colleagues that we stay longer and finish the business appearing on the Order Paper. I need their indulgence, so that we can say that we have done our bit for the first part of the year.

6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, today the Chair of the Committee, in consultation with the coalition, is happy. This is because we needed an efficient and effective VAT Bill. We wanted to be ahead of the region in enacting the first modern VAT Bill, and at the same time cushion our poor citizenry against a high cost of goods. I am happy to see that the most controversial aspect of this Bill has been done away with by the Committee, and we support that. We are talking of medicine, seeds, sanitary pads, the famous bread, unga and milk. I hope that ...

6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think this is a good VAT Bill. It could have survived in the last Parliament but the then Minister for Finance, hon. Githae, withdrew it. I am sure that hon. T.J. Kajwang will know today that you do not judge a book by its cover. The VAT law had good aspects and the Jubilee Government has listened to the people of Kenya. Today, its membership is here and I am sure that they will support it. The life of the Unga Revolution has come to an end. Civil society people who are paying the Unga ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, what hon. Mbadi has said is on procedure. The Question on the further amendment by hon. Jamleck Kamau was put, and it was carried. I agree with hon. Mbadi that what hon. T.J. Kajwang did was out of order. He was trying to re-open debate on a matter that had been disposed of.

6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to disagree with my colleague that the cost of functions is done by the governors. There are constitutionally mandated bodies like TA, CRA and by extension, even the CIC when they sit together, it is only the TA that will gazette the cost and the functions. It is not the governors. So, we need to do that for the HANSARD. But that is why the law sets the benchmark. If it says that for this House to amend it must have a two-thirds majority, then that law must be adhered to. Otherwise, what the ...

6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think hon. Mbadi should be promoted to be the Leader of Minority Party. He deserves it. This amendment is going to make CDF free from any interference from the Executive, governors and any busybodies. This is the gist of the whole amendment that we felt we must go through before we go on recess. Today, we have anchored the CDF under Article 206(2)(c). I am sure apart from the one that infuriated my good friend, the hon. Member for North Horr - I am sure he was wondering because I am no longer in Dujis. ...
