• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was wondering how hon. Bichage managed to catch the Chair’s eye, yet he does not even have a card. So many of us are digital, yet we have not managed to do the same. Is it an advice that next time we also come without cards and we start rising up the way we used to do? view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also support this Motion. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: In supporting the nomination and the approval of these nominees, I want to, first, say that I am delighted by the fact that we are approving only two names, both of who are ladies. There is the tendency of thinking that one third gender representation means that one third has to be women and two thirds has to be men. When we have a situation where women dominate, we should support them. I believe that the TSC is supposed to have eight Commissioners. I want to see a situation where when all the eight Commissioners are appointed, for the first ... view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, I want to support the sentiments of the Member for Wajir North. There are certain marginalised communities in this country, which need to be considered for public appointments. That is not a luxury but rather a requirement of the Constitution. Therefore, when we see nomination from a marginalised community, we should give it full support. I am still waiting for the time when a list of nominees containing a name from the Suba community will be brought here for approval. I will appreciate and celebrate. I want to remind this country that the Suba people have good brains. If ... view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: This is very relevant and I want to remind my good friend from Nakuru that he is learning fast, but he has not reached my level yet. I want just to brief him that, when you are making a contribution of this nature, there are certain fundamentals that you can put forward without just talking about TSC. We know TSC’s job and really these guys have a serious job ahead of them. We want to reform the education sector. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it was unfortunate when we are battling with SRC over our salaries. I did say that the ... view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my point of order, which I raised earlier, was at Order No. 9 and Order No.10. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you remember hon. Wandayi, the MP for Ugunja had raised a substantive issue. Even though he raised it at Order No.8, his point of order should have been raised at Order No.9. The Constitution is very clear and so are our Standing Orders. Any legislation that is introduced to the House whether to the plenary or Committee that violates the provisions of the Constitution should not be allowed to be transacted by the House. By taking these Bills ... view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, when I started you pointed out that you had a problem with your machine. I was up on my feet and very early enough on Order No.9. When I started, I said that I was raising this point of order with regard to Order No.9. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker we need to learn how to debate in this House. It is now four months. This is not a baraza. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know when I listen to my friend talk of the High Court in the National Assembly which is a separate and distinct arm of the Government, I wonder whether he knows where he is sitting today. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if the hon. Chepkonga cared to listen, I started by saying that hon. Opiyo Wandayi raised a point of order which was fundamental and very significant only that he raised it at a wrong point. He should have raised it at Order No.9. Then I proceeded to transact my business. So, I am asking for your ruling whether it would be procedural and whether we will not be violating the oath that we took as Members of this Assembly by debating Bills that are expressly contravening the provisions of the Constitution which I have cited. I have ... view
