• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I do not want to belabour the point. It is a straightforward matter. With the leave of this House, we can commence business on the next Order. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and ask hon. M. Kilonzo to second the Motion. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I can see the dilemma we are in, but it is something that was expected and it is something for which we need to work out a way of dealing with. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me first of all, clarify one thing; that the reading of the Budget has nothing to do with the presentation of the Estimates of revenue and expenditure. The reading of the Budget is the proposals that the Government wishes to put forward in terms of the policies to be pursued in the following year, a review of what has happened ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in terms of the tabling of the Estimates, if we can even borrow from the former Constitution, I think this matter is covered by Section 100, which, apart from the timing, says that:- “The Minister for the time being responsible for finance shall cause to be prepared to lay before the National Assembly in each financial year Estimates of the revenues and expenditures of the Government of Kenya for the next following year. It does not have any time line as to whether it should be done. Traditionally, you will recall that the Printed Estimates would actually ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose the amendment by the Committee for the reason that although it may appear as if it is superfluous, it was deliberately put here. I know that we debated it heavily in the Cabinet. It has deliberately been included for avoidance of doubt. This is the first time we are getting into an arrangement where Commissioners and the Secretariat will have clearly defined roles. So, for avoidance of doubt, let us make it very clear upfront that there will be a very clear demarcation and respect for the duties of the Commissioners and members ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I rise on a point of order to move that we adjourn the Committee Stage. The Committee reports progress to the House to enable us to ask for extra time to sit so that we dispose of the matter on the Order Paper. So, I beg to move that this Committee reports progress to the House. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that the Committee of the whole House reports progress and seeks leave to sit again today. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said Report. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Committee was progressing in the debate, it became very clear that Order No.8 may not be completed by the time of the adjournment of the House at 6.30 p.m. and it will be necessary to seek leave of the House to extend the sitting of the House until we conclude the business appearing under Order No.8. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, let me start by opposing the amendment by the Committee. If you look at Clause 7 of the Bill, it goes beyond repeating what is in the Constitution. In fact, the amendment by the Committee is only restating what is already in the Constitution except Clause 7(2) where it is turning all the commissioners to serve on a full-time basis. But (1) and (3) are already within the Constitution and in the current Bill. The fundamental issue that we need to be careful about is that in December, 2007, just a couple of weeks before the elections, ... view
