14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, we still have two important businesses to transact and yet we have less than 15 minutes to adjourn. Both are important. The first one is the Motion on the other measures to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the second one is the Special Motion on consideration of nominees for appointment to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). The information I have, as the Leader of the Majority Party, is that the Motion on TSC has a deadline. I am seeking your indulgence so that using Standing Order No. 1, you can guide us on how to ...

Hon. Speaker, there is also the Motion on National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), which I think will take only a few minutes given that we are only approving a membership list. All you need to do is to decide on how we should go about it.

14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, you have given guidelines and I think they must be followed. You have told Hon. Maanzo that if he reads the guidelines, movement is not allowed. I have seen so many empty seats and Members had confirmed to attend. This is not good. In fact, the Members who confirmed and did not attend should be known. Hon. Speaker, I am asking for your discretion to allow other Members who are somewhere and want to participate to take those seats. In future, if you confirm that you want to be here, then you must be here. You cannot reserve ...

Even those of us who live with people who wear such a dress can tell who they are. Hon. Speaker, I want you to rule on this matter. This is a serious matter. The President of the Republic of Kenya and the National Security Council decided to lock down four counties; namely, Nairobi, Mombasa, Kwale and Kilifi, notwithstanding the calibre and status of the persons involved. We cannot prevent the people of Mombasa from coming to Nairobi or vice versa and allow Members of Parliament to come from either Kilifi, Mombasa or Kwale. I have nothing against it, unless they ...

Kilifi or Kwale, Hon. Speaker, this is a House that makes laws. That is why I have just tabled all the regulations from the National Security Council (NSC) even concerning the curfew. Hon. Speaker, we need your guidance that we are not different from the rest of the Kenyans who live in Mombasa. So, give us directions whether Hon. Abdullswamad Nassir, Member for Mvita, Hon. Mohammed Ali, Member for Nyali and the rest have confirmed to you. Right now, we have the issue of age. In fact, we are going to another dangerous scenario. We are violating the law. You ...

Hon. Speaker, in the next meeting, we need to move Hon. (Dr.) Robert Pukose to a closer position. He does some specific duties. That is the only request we are asking.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3b), this House resolves to hold another Sitting today Tuesday, 14th April 2020 after the 2.30 p.m. Sitting. The House Business Committee - which you chair - in its meeting earlier today resolved that the House has this important Sitting. The purpose of this second Sitting is to limit the number of sittings of the House per week considering the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. This Sitting will enable the House to conclude crucial business before the House as it is appearing on the ...
