• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as hon. Members will be aware, we have a very weighty Motion this afternoon that is proposed by the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC). We also have some Bills that should have been discussed in the morning in the Committee Stage and the Business was shifted to this afternoon to load onto what was to be discussed this afternoon. When we discussed, as the House Business Committee, we thought that it would be prudent to--- view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was going to come to exactly that point and if hon. Imanyara will bear with me, I will be getting into exactly the same issue. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you recall this morning, we had some of the Business that had been slotted to be discussed being adjourned to the afternoon. There was also a matter that was supposed to appear in the Committee that was rescheduled to the afternoon because some of the amendments were not quite ready and had not been agreed upon. However, in terms of business on the Motions, I want to take this early opportunity to extend our apologies as the Front Bench. As hon. Members are aware, due to the sad situation we are in on the passing ... view

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have moved the Motion. I am explaining why we need the Motion. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: If the hon. Member for Chepalungu would be patient, he would be able to follow through exactly why we need to extend our sitting time to 11.00 p.m. I did explain we had business in the morning, which we shifted to the afternoon sitting. We also have business that is slotted for this afternoon. When we combine the total business for the morning and what is scheduled for this afternoon, we would realize we actually need extra time to transact and complete all that business. Notwithstanding whatever decision the House will make, first of all, whatever we have slotted for ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, in their usual magnanimity, have extended time in the past. We have worked up to midnight. We have also worked weekends. We have sat all those days to complete the business that is before us. It is based on that understanding that the hon. Members are willing to go the extra mile to finish the business, notwithstanding the fact that they might be inconvenienced as much as possible. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Without anticipating debate, should we agree to extend by extra time, and hon. Members also finish all the business at hand, we do not have to be here until 11.00 p.m. When 11.00 p.m. finds us here, wherever we shall be, we shall continue in the next sitting day. So, again, 11.00 p.m. is based on the Members endurance as in the past. I believe it is, perhaps, not a matter we need to belabour much on. I would beseech this House that let us agree in our usual style. That we allocate as much time as possible to completion ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that we have responded to the Members’ wishes to finish as much business as possible from the House Business Committee. The matter is now before the House. I would like to urge the House that let us in the usual manner dedicate some extra hours today. Let us finish what we can and give Kenyans the devolution system from as early as this weekend. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those words, I beg to move, and request hon. Githae to second. view
