• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Procedure and House Rules Committee, House Business Committee and the House leadership have agreed that, at least, there are people who sent us here to represent them and articulate their issues and problems. For a start, they will know the Hon. Member from his constituency has asked a question on the Floor of the House. These amendments also enable a minister to provide a written statement or written answer. The Member can then pick the written answer and even post it on his social media platform for his constituents to see that he has represented them. Asking the question ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We have also introduced Private Members’ Questions. There used to be Ordinary Questions and Private Members’ Questions. There are questions that cannot wait for more than 48 hours. They are very urgent to the Member and to the constituency. Maybe it could be the killing of some constituents. We have introduced questions called Private Members’ Questions which will be dealt with within 48 hours. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: This will be very good and the afternoon sittings will be very lively. But there is another bit because this cuts across. If you have filed a question and you have asked it on the Floor of the House and you do not appear before the Committee, then the Chair will drop the question and it cannot be asked again until six months are over. If you are not there, as it was done in the old system, you can write to the Speaker seeking to be represented by a colleague with whom you share a county. The electronic version ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, the other thing that we have introduced is the so-called friends of committees. Hon. Speaker, while you were away, the Departmental Committee on Lands was also invaded by friends of committees, and this time it was worse than the Joint Select Committee on Sugar Inquiry. On the matter of Tatu City last Friday, it was chaotic. It is shameful that it involved over seven Members. We are going to name them. Some of them have conflict of interest. If you are a Member of this House and your wife or partner is a lawyer for a company that is ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: After the sugar issue, all of us must protect the integrity of this House. Some of the Members who went to that committee as friends were asking leading questions. I have met some of them and I told them that we are going to expose them. I am sending a warning that in this amendment, we have brought a provision that if you want to be a friend of a committee, you must first write to the Chair of that committee and give reasons why you want to be a friend. You cannot just walk in and out. I do ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Question Time is important. Members will have an opportunity to ask very good questions. We want their voices to be heard by their constituents and the Government Ministries. We are not introducing Question Time through the back door. There are people who will say that we are trying to alter the structure of the legislature. We are not! We are only giving an opportunity to a Member of this House to ask, on live camera in the plenary, his question and be told to appear before a relevant committee. Some of the Members will ask for written answers. You can ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I beg to support and ask the House to support this so that we go to the Committee of the whole House and do the amendments as provided. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I beg to second. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion be amended by inserting the following words immediately after the words “July, 05 2018” “pursuant to insertion of the following recommendation: (h) The Procedure and House Rules Committee takes further steps to fully operationalise Questions Time and tables its report expeditiously.” view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: This is to make sure that at any given time in the future in the 12th Parliament, the Procedure and House Rules Committee can bring further amendments on how to make sure Question Time is improved and enriched. This is not the end of the game. So, we might, as Hon. Junet said, slowly contemplate amending the Constitution. This is just to make it open.
