• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, the business appearing on today’s Order Paper as Order Nos.9, 10 and 11 be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order No.148(1), which gives the debate on the Financial Statement precedence over all other business. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very procedural matter, because, as you know, we are not supposed to be proceeding on any other business except debate on the Financial Statement. Because we need to move these three other Motions, I would like to ask for the indulgence of the House that ... view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 107, this House orders that the publication period of the Independent Offices (Appointment) Bill, Bill No.11 of 2011, be reduced from 14 to 7 days. view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the essence of this Motion is to facilitate the commitment of this Bill to the relevant Committee, so that it can start looking at it and, hopefully, we can debate and finalise debate on this Bill by next week. That way, we will have this law in place before the next financial year, or, at least, before the House goes on adjournment because this is the Bill that is going to create the offices of Controller of Budget as well as the Auditor-General. These are two very critical offices that we need as part of our ... view

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have received communication from the Chairman of the Committee, the hon. Ababu Namwamba, that the Committee is making very good progress, but it requires extra time, so that they can wind up, complete all their activities and report in a comprehensive manner to this House. I believe that ... view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to persuade you to guide the Member accordingly in terms of the fact that this Motion is properly before the House and the Minister is moving in accordance with the Standing Orders, the Constitution, the spirit of debate and the practice and procedures of this House. I believe there is confusion that is coming out. I would like hon. Mbadi and the other Members to be very attentive because being new in the House, we would guide him. The Standing Order No.148(1) refers to the debate on the Financial Statement on the Annual Estimates. ... view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: So, the Financial Statement on the Annual Estimates is what we are discussing today and asking whether that Financial Statement that was tabled yesterday together with the attached documents can be committed to the Committee because there is no Standing Order that says that, that should be committed automatically to the Committee. It is here in the House and the Committee has a choice of taking it or not, but this House will move a Motion that says that, that the Financial Statement on the Annual Estimates plus all those attachments that were brought yesterday should now be committed to ... view

• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me begin by thanking the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, together with his staff, for working all long hours and delivering to us the Ministerial Statement that was delivered here yesterday. It seems to have put the country in some state of calm as the people now know where we are going. As I said before, Kenya is a market leader in East Africa. Yesterday, members of the public expected the Government to tell them where we were and where we were going in terms of the economy and the related issue of ... view
