It is not because he loves it, rather it is because of circumstances. So, let us get time to go to our constituencies. We can meet two or three opinion leaders and even teachers now that schools are closed. We need to pray as Christians and Muslims. Apart from all the other contingencies, those of us who believe in the Almighty God should go back to churches and mosques and pray that this pandemic does not spread and ends as quickly as possible. I beg to move and ask Hon. John Mbadi to second.

17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly:
So, this Sitting is the one that started at 2.30 p.m. and this Motion says we shall have another Sitting so that we finish the business that appears on this Order Paper and the next Order Paper that will be introduced in the next Sitting. So, I am sure many Members know what two Sittings within one afternoon Session mean. Therefore, what happens is that… Hon. Speaker, Hon. Mbui is the Deputy Minority Leader. The only person who has some locus standi on putting question is Hon. (Dr.) Pukose. Unless Hon. Mbui wants to leave his job and take over ...

Hon. (Dr.) Pukose knows when the question should be put or when it should not. Therefore, Hon. Speaker, it is based on the notice of Motion that I gave that we go on recess from tomorrow.

17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly:
We have decided to have two Sittings because we have the Division of Revenue Bill and, of course, we have the reports of committees that we must deal with. Therefore, I really want you to bear with us so that when we finish the first Session, the difference will be about 15 minutes. So, the Speaker will leave and then after 15 minutes, we will come back and start a new Session. Of course, you know the benefits of two Sessions. I do not want to go into that. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ...

17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I second, the budget-making process is found from Article 218 of the Constitution. Once the Cabinet Secretary brings the BPS and the House approves it, then it sets the stage for the publication of the Division of Revenue Bill. So, the BPS is a precursor to the Division of Revenue Bill since it sets the fiscal framework underpinning how the two levels of government share resources equitably. Because the BPS Report was adopted by this House, this matter is before the House this afternoon. The discussion this afternoon on the Division of Revenue Bill is ...

17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly:
So, whether you collect any money or not, you must give them their money. So, in my honest opinion, based on what is happening globally and domestically, we must reduce the Kshs316.5 billion that the IBEC has decided. We must be honest to ourselves. The Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee must be very honest. The problem with the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, from his history of Tangatanga, even in the Chamber, he cannot sit. He needs to sit down, listen to the House and take notes. He has to listen to what we are saying. ...
