• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I am happy with the action taken by the Leader of the Majority Party and the HBC that these Bills can come before the House and on Wednesday, Members can spend time on them. You will also realise that because of many Motions “urging”, Members discovered that Motions basically become more of talk shops and many of them do not come to the House on Wednesday morning. But when you have substantive Bills before the House, good business that people can transact, you will find many more Members before the House on Wednesday morning. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, indeed, has mentioned the two Bills by Hon. Kamket, namely, the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill and the Equalisation Fund Bill.

We have sat down and made this clear to them. We will also give the National Treasury 21 days from the time we consider anything that is significant for them to get back to us. Indeed, let me report that last week on Thursday, we considered ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: the BPS, up to the time we start work on the Supplementary Budget and the Annual Estimates, again, we shall have no other business other than considering Members’ legislative proposals.

With that, I beg to second the Motion and ... view
