• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution, the Public Finance Management Act and the Standing Orders, the National Treasury is expected to submit the annual estimates of revenue and expenditure for the Financial Year 2019/2020 on or before 30th April 2019. This will go to the committees for public hearings and engagement with the relevant Government ministries, departments and agencies during the month of May 2019. This will pave way for the passage of the final Budget through the Committee of Supply and the introduction of the Appropriation Bills, 2019, which will be passed by the House on or before ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: With these timelines that I have stated, this part of the Session is longer than the other parts of the Session. Because of the tight timelines related to the budget cycle, it has not been possible to synchronize the recess period with the school holidays which we usually do for the long recess in May. This would have been the desire of most Members of Parliament. We, therefore, propose the House holds 126 sittings this year - excluding any Special Sittings or morning Sittings held on Tuesday morning and Thursday morning - which may eventually be inevitable at the behest ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Allow me to spend a few minutes to remind Members of the history of Parliament. Prior to 1999, Parliament was a department of the Office of the President in the Executive. In this regard, the calendar of the House was controlled by the Executive. Parliament was opened and closed at the whims of the Executive. The Legislature was able to emancipate itself from the Executive by way of Constitutional Amendment No.3 of 1999 entrenching the Parliamentary Service Commission in the Constitution. I am sure Members will remember that sometimes, sessions of the House were suspended for Members to go to ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: That is how it was. Today, Parliament is independent and controls its calendar. For the information of Members, today in India and Sri Lanka, both Houses of Parliament in those countries have their sessions terminated by the President of India and Sri Lanka, respectively. They can summon the Houses any time at the start of every year or suspend the sittings of the Houses. It is good that those of us who have the opportunity to serve under an independent Parliament must, at all times, guard the independence and integrity of the House. Consequently, Members need to appreciate the independence ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I, therefore, urge Members to support this Motion and approve the proposed calendar. That does not mean that… view

• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The Member for Kikuyu is saying that he can second the Motion, but he is not privileged to sit in the HBC. So, he cannot second it. It is only a member of the HBC who participated in the deliberations yesterday who can second. But that does not mean that we cannot amend it. The same calendar we approve today, even in the wisdom of the membership of the HBC, we can bring a Motion to amend to extend a sitting period or a recess. Still, amendments to this calendar are subject to the whims and wishes of the majority ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I ask Hon. Makali Mulu, who is a Member of HBC and who was present last night in our deliberations and participated in the approval of the calendar, to second. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a Procedural Motion. It is in keeping with the parliamentary practices and traditions at the beginning of every Session to guide the House on the manner in which debate will be carried out. I am, therefore, proposing that time be allocated as contained in the Motion. The next seven Motions that follow are not substantive Motions, but simply procedural proposals asking the House to set timelines on the time allocated to a Member or Members every time they are contributing to a business before the House. In this case, it is a Motion that is ... view
