• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on the guidance that you are going to give, it is the Kenyan people who, in their wisdom, in 2010 chose this particular Presidential system. Hon. Speaker, Sir, Article 108 of the Constitution creates the office of Leader of Majority Party and further says that the Leader of the Majority Party will lead the party or the coalition of parties with the highest number of Members of Parliament. Similarly, the Leader of the Minority Party will lead the caucus or the party that has the next biggest number. Hon. Speaker, in any case scenario, in terms of interpretation, ... view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, to be more categorical, I beg to read out Articles 132(2) of the Constitution. It says:- view

• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in the Presidential system, it is very clear. In the previous dispensation - I am sure you were in this Parliament - Parliament had no leadership to deal with. But Article 108 has created the office of the Minority Party and the Office of the Majority Party and the respective whips as per the Standing Orders. view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that hon. Midiwo missed the facts that were presented here, including the good offer from hon. Odhiambo- Mabona. We do not want to go back to that debate. Is he in order? I did not speak for Parliament. What I was talking about was the link. Whether it is the minority or the majority, the provision is that there must be a bridge linking the Executive and the Legislature. Finally, I want to say that under Article 133, the ruling coalition leader, who is none other than His Excellency the President, through the ... view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I will be very brief. I agree with hon. Chepkonga that the role of the PAC as a select committee is well defined both in the Constitution and in the Standing Orders and Standing Order No.205(2) says: “The Public Accounts Committee shall be responsible for the examination of the accounts showing the appropriations of the sum voted by the House to meet the public expenditure and of such other accounts laid before the House as the Committee may think fit.” Hon. Deputy Speaker, as a House we have not received the audited accounts by the Auditor-General of ... view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. The substantive issue raised by hon. Chepkonga is not about the last general election. The people of Kenya went to vote and they elected their leaders. The Constitution provided for the aggrieved parties to go to the Supreme Court and that was done. The matter before this House today, and I want you to rule, is on the role and the function of the PAC. That is the issue. I want to read it for the benefit of the House and the nation. It says that:- “The Public Accounts Committee shall be ... view
