• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I just wanted to request the Mover to then move an amendment without notice, that we delete Section (vii) under Section 45A(a), so that we remain with the New Clause 2A. view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: seconded. view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I insist that the casual manner in which we are moving away from the tradition of Parliament will start from small transgressions and move on to something grave. The purpose of the Chairperson of the Committee of the Whole reporting to the Speaker is that the Chairperson is now reporting to the whole House. There was good reason why the Speaker could only go to that Chair from the main entrance or from the Speaker’s backroom. When you now emerge from the Plenary and go to the Speaker’s Chair, it means ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No.1(2) which provides as follows:- “The decisions made in paragraph (1) shall be based on the Constitution of Kenya, statute law and usages, forms, precedents, customs, procedures and traditions of the Parliament of Kenya and other jurisdictions to the extent that these are applicable to Kenya.” Do not take this lightly because I remember this law on 15th January, 2008, saved the country. Sen. Orengo had moved that the Clerk could not swear Members to take the oath. However, Speaker Marende who had just been shortly brought to the seat was The electronic version ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to pursue it because it is important. Standing Order Nos.15 and 16 are not new under the current Parliament. Even in previous Parliaments, these Standing Orders were there; only that they were numbered differently. The tradition is then the Clerk – Mr. Mogere has done it severally – informs the Member who is a Member of the Speaker’s Panel who will be the one that the Chairperson will be reporting to, to then withdraw from the plenary and go to the Speaker’ office or the space behind. That has ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was consulting the Deputy Speaker. He had ordered me to consult him. I did not know that the business on the Order Paper would move so fast. Before we went on recess, I moved this Motion. Therefore, I would like to be guided on a point of order before I continue. I moved this Motion and it had been seconded. I think that a few people had even debated on it. Since I gave notice yesterday, at this stage, I do not know whether I am supposed to start as if it was never debated. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am going to move this Motion shortly. However, I have not canvassed with colleagues to get somebody who will second me. Therefore, if you can allow me to consult as we deal with Order No.11 so that I get somebody to second the Motion which is very short. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am guided. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2014). The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to respond. First of all, I want to assure this House that this very Mediation Committee Report went to the National Assembly as a Motion during the last Session and it has been approved. So, we are simply doing catch-up. Secondly, the biggest concern that worried Members of the National Assembly – that is why they rejected this Bill in the first place – was that in the original Bill, we had left the exercise of a decision on changing the seat of government in the hands of the ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if it is the ruling of the Chair that this Motion is a matter concerning counties, then--- view
