Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this House has demonstrated its capacity to sit and dispose of business that is considered critical. The hon. Members who will look at the Order Paper will notice that Orders No.11 and 12 are critical to the implementation of the Constitution and in line with the agreement that was reached by the hon. Members. Through the consensus that has ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we expect that perhaps this could be disposed of latest by 8.00 p.m. depending on the interest shown in the two Orders, but hon. Members will be at liberty to dispose of the matter earlier. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a very straightforward matter and I request Mr. Murungi to second it. I also request hon. Members that we make this decision fast enough so that we can start transacting business. view

• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the discussions that were held in the House Business Committee and, in consultation with the hon.

It would be desirous if we could complete Order No.12 so that we probably get into the Committee tomorrow and go home having passed these major constitutional landmark Bills. That will mean that when we are away on recess, we can have these offices or the process of filling ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, this is a matter that is very clear and I believe that even Mr. Isaac Ruto has now taken heed of this because I can see he is consulting rather well on the matter--- view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I believe that I have given Mr. Ruto all the reasons why we need this matter to be concluded faster. It is very clear that we need this constitutional law passed and it takes precedence over very many other matters. view

We should reduce the time so that we can debate this Bill today. That will give us an indication as to how much longer we need between now and the time we go into the Committee. That will depend on the contribution by hon. Members during the Second Reading of this Bill. view
