6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I want to start by saying that this Parliament has done very well in terms of legislation. We have passed, perhaps, the most number of Bills than any other Parliament has ever done. But we also know that there is challenge. We still have a whole list of Bills that are required to be done before Parliament is dissolved on 14th or 15th January, 2013. This is something we are alive to, as the House Business Committee, and we have scheduled and we are looking through the whole list. Between now and 20th December ...

6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue raised by Mr. Ogindo, I totally agree that we need to prioritize the Bills, especially those that have an implication on what will happen between the time we go on a break, or when this House adjourns for good, and the time when the new House will sit. The Bill you have just cited is just one such Bill on how the Government will be co-ordinated. Although it is a five-year period, you might end up with two parallel systems. Unless we are able to talk about it ourselves in this House, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the rationale for this request to the House is based on the fact we all realize that we have a lot of business to do. This was really subject matter of discussion earlier this afternoon. There was a request from hon. Members that we prioritize Bills that need to be cleared before this House can adjourn.

6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
When we looked at the total time that may be required, it became clear that we should have asked for more time. But being a Thursday, Members may want to also go and do other business. But we believe by 8.30 p.m. we should have completed, if not everything, most of this.

6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, again this is one of the Bills that will define some of the issues that were left hanging in our Constitution, in terms of how the national Government will be co-ordinated, the functions of the Cabinet in the new dispensation; they were in the former Constitution but were left out of the new Constitution. There are issues relating to the interplay between the National Government and the county governments. Much as we have a situation where the Provincial Administration system is supposed to be reformed within the next five years--- Come election time and immediately ...
