On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this Bill is very important. I stand under Standing Order No. 133(2), which allows Members to give notice of amendments 24 hours before the Committee of the whole House. When a Bill is read a Second Time and then it proceeds to the Committee of the whole House on the same day, it violates Standing Order No.124 and limits the right of Members to propose amendments to a Bill.

Even if we are at the tail-end of this 12th Parliament, do not allow our rights to be curtailed. This Bill is so important. We can rush it the way we rushed the Building Bridges Initiative, which we know its fate. I speak from experience. We went to court many times. Our Litigation Department really faced the issue of due process. This Bill should be given due consideration. It should go through Standing Order No. 131 on winnowing, so that we get a complete Bill that befits. Members do not know that this Bill will do away with the State ...

We cannot talk about amendments. We have not reached the Committee of the whole House. This Bill will completely change the registration of citizens. Some of us come from areas that border other countries. Our people are victims. If this Bill passes the way it is, the State Department of Immigration Services in Nyayo House will be a different institution. I really want to indulge you that you give us time to come up with amendments. When we resume after three weeks, we will deal with the Committee of the whole House. Why are we in a hurry? We are ...

Hon. Speaker, Members sitting here come from those constituencies. We have Hon. Abdikhaim and Hon. Fatuma Gedi who was the Vice-Chair. I have just told her that when the rubber meets the road, Hon. Fatuma Gedi, my good sister, you stand with the people of Wajir. Forget about being the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. Forget about the Vice-Chair of that Department or the Government that you purport to support. Stand with your people. This Bill is bad for our people; it is bad for those who come from the border. It is bad for ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Yes, Hon. Speaker, Hon. Sankok has a lot of respect for you, and he has withdrawn based on that. However, he must also have respect for the Standing Orders and for the dignity of the House.

13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly:
Yes, we respect our Speaker, but the moment the Speaker tells you to withdraw, he represents the whole House. Hon. Speaker, I want to humbly ask Hon. Sankok to say: “Yes, I did it for the Hon. Speaker but, again, based on the respect I have for the House and for my colleagues, I withdraw and apologise.” That is better and decent.

Hon. Speaker, I really want to thank the Vice- Chairperson. Before I even go further, this is a House of records. The document given to me by the Vice-Chairperson does not have any Government logo and the Coat of Arms. It has not been signed by any Cabinet Secretary or Principal Secretary. I will give it to you to see whether this document is admissible, and then I can interrogate it. I do not think I can interrogate it the way it is.
