• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: take it upon ourselves to involve the Member and bring a report. This is because the Statement we might wish to adopt as a Committee might be in disagreement with what the Ministry’s official Statement has been. So, when we do not call a Member to our Committee, it is because we find the request to be clear enough and the answer from the Ministry not controversial. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Member for Magarini has been to our Committee because we were dissatisfied with the answer provided by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Mineral Resources. We informed him that we would be going to the area. The issue in contention is that the Ministry claims that the trees that are being used are not live trees – they are senile trees. The hon. Member, however, asserts that the trees being used are of economic value. Therefore, as a Committee, we thought that the only way to know whose claims are valid is to go to the field. ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not want to give a specific date. There is also a challenge in some of the requests to visit sites. Our Standing Orders require that when we make such a trip we have a quorum, which is nine Members. It is very difficult to have a one-off trip and get a quorum. So, I would like to request that the Committee on The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Rules and Procedures considers the possibility that we should send a smaller delegation of less than nine Members required for a quorum to verify some of the things. view

• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: THAT, this House adopts the report of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources regarding the sacking of staff at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) laid on the Table of the House today, Tuesday, 30th July, 2013. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Deputy Speaker. We will give him that report in four weeks. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. If the recruitment is going on, that would amount to interference with the Executive work. My suggestion would be for the Member to bring the information and for us to investigate something that is concluded rather than to appear to be interfering with the Executive function. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. This is a follow up on the point of order from hon. Mbadi. Whereas he is well informed about the introduction of Bills that are charged to a Member or a committee, I wish to request for your advice on the way forward on Bills that emanate from the Government. We are aware that this weekend, we had a leadership meeting and one of the lessons that we learnt from similar jurisdictions was how Parliament protects its powers to legislate. We were informed that in the Legislature that we want to model ourselves to, namely, ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, hon. Member from the opposite side of the House mentioned that chairpersons of committees are responsible for moving Bills, and that we should not be absconding from that duty. So, I thought since I am a chairperson of a committee, he might be implying that I am doing so. Hon. Speaker, I am not trying to abscond from the responsibility. I am only trying to have you develop a procedure that does not deviate when it is one chairperson and take another shape when it is another one. We are trying to avoid a situation where the Leader ... view
