• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, this House resolves that the referral period of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Bill (Bill No. 36 of 2011), pursuant to Standing Order 111 be waived. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Let me first of all explain that ordinarily, it would be expected that after the First Reading, the Bill would automatically get committed to a committee. The reason we are bringing this Motion is that it was desired at the House Business Committee that this Bill goes through the First Reading today and the Members have the opportunity to commence debate in Second Reading today while the committee simultaneously looks at the Bill. Between today and perhaps Thursday or Friday when the committee will be ready, we can walk and chew gum at the same time rather than have the ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill is very critical and we have had a lot of discussions. I am sure the committee has already started looking at the Bill. For them to officially take on the matter and report, it is important that we do this. It is a technical way of putting this matter by reducing the time required for referral because between the First Reading today and the Second Reading today, there is no one day and we cannot ask for the time to be reduced to a few minutes. It is basically asking this House that we start ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the House has given authority in Order No.9 on this Bill. By the authority given under Order No.9, then it will come for First Reading. It is coming as part of getting all the Procedural Motions in a series. This Motion could well have come after the First Reading, but it is a matter of where it is placed on the Order Paper, all the Procedural Motions being placed together instead of one Procedural Motion, First Readings and then we go to Procedural Motions. If Members are not worried about the arrangement of the Motions, then we ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to move and ask hon. Abdikadir to second the Motion. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the event that the Member for Githunguri would want us to stick to the technical details and the law, which I respect, I would request that the matter appearing as Order No.11 be re-arranged to come after Order No.15. view

• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I indicated earlier on, the essence of this Motion is to enable us, having read the Bill the First Time and referred it to the relevant departmental committee, to start debate on it in the House without having to wait for the Bill to be scrutinized by the committee; we are of the firm belief that the committee has already started looking at this Bill. Given the display of sharp eyes by the Member for Githunguri, in terms of giving attention to detail, I have no doubt that the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee, which has done ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to belabour the point. Some hon. Members have been uncomfortable with the wording. The whole process is meant to basically comply with the Standing Orders. So, we confirm that the Bill will be going to the committee, and that the committee will actually report its findings to the House by the time we get to the Committee Stage. view
