15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly:
consideration of the Presidential Memorandum on the EACC (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 33 of 2015). Yesterday and today, the Chairperson of the Procedure and House Rules Committee moved a Motion for the adoption of the report on the amendments to the Standing Orders. Among the highlights of the Standing Orders for the 12th Parliament will be the reduction of members in a committee from the current 29 to 17 in order to bolster the effectiveness and output of the committees. It is important to note that it is possible that the House may be recalled for a special ...

15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly:
This is a very important amendment. I want to thank you and the Committee. We had incidents where a Bill was touching on both Houses and the President sent a reservation to both Houses. The National Assembly dealt with it but the Senate kept it for two years. An example is the Petroleum Exploration Bill and the Energy Bill. This is now setting a stage where in case the reservation concerns both Houses, a joint Committee of both Houses is set and a timeframe is given. If we had this in the Standing Orders, those Bills could not have been ...

I support this amendment because we are here on behalf of the people of Kenya. Under the new transparent leadership, Kenyans want to know whether their Members of Parliament are in the House or not. That is why I agree that we must have custody of the request for permission kept somewhere. There are a number of times when people have written petitions asking their Members to be disqualified as Members of Parliament. Asking for written permission from the Speaker is not something that we cannot accept. This has been lifted from The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ...

the Constitution. Let us live with it for now. If we come back during the 12th Parliament, somebody can bring a constitutional amendment to change it. I am sure Hon. Gumbo’s amendment did not go through. We are, therefore, stuck with the current situation as it is in the Constitution.

Hon. Deputy Chairman, from our current situation and with the mushrooming of caucuses, this is the best we can go. When we say “shall”, then we will even have breastfeeding caucuses and we will get some other caucuses that as a Muslim I cannot mention here. So, let us be very careful. This is okay. It is made at the discretion of the Speaker. You might come up and have a caucus of Mungiki . The Speaker must have some discretion. Let us have “may”.
