10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid answering my question? Thank you very much for arresting Superintendent Joseph Maritim. But the keys to the armoury are two. Before the armoury is opened, there is a written authority by the Commandant, Mr. Mbugua. So, why has he chosen to selectively arrest Mr. Joseph Maritim and yet he has done nothing about Omar Shule and the commandant?

10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of the Committee. Our convener is hon. Mungatana and he is currently consulting with the Minister for Roads. This is because of the pressure of time. We wanted to take a harmonized position out of those consultations, so that we can present to the Committee of Experts in time before the expiry of the 30 day period. We have calculated and found that if we hold the retreat tomorrow, any backlog that will remain, we can thrush it out on Monday, so that on Tuesday and Wednesday, we can then go and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are very sorry. It is because we are actually very informal. We do not have that robust enjoyment of the locus standi. W hen you lack that, you do not know sometimes how to move and so you are hesitant. That is the reason.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the proposed adjournment by Ms. Odhiambo. I want to use this opportunity to educate Mr. Okemo on his assumption that if some hon.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the views of Mr. Okemo are most welcome. I take pleasure from the fact that he is a renown professional but as he knows very well, I am also a renown professional in my own right and professionals do not peruse crucial documents. Professionals read, understand and then take positions.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the point of order by Mr. Onyancha is purely to serve comic relief. He knows that during our days, and he went through the same system like me, to qualify for Medicine, you had to prove beyond

10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to speak. I want to use this opportunity to move straight to the amendment which I intended to move yesterday. I wish to note that the events of yesterday were such that the Office of the Clerk allowed the clerks to create a lot of confusion in the House on an issue that was fairly straightforward. Therefore, I wish to move the following amendment. I want to amend the Motion by inserting the word âproposedâ between the words âtheâ and âconcessionâ on the second last line of the Motion---

10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was no ruling. What happened yesterday is that as we were ventilating on the point he is raising, time was up. So, I have been informed in writing by the Clerk that I go ahead with my contribution because we were right, those of us who attempted to amend this Motion. The point of departure was that the clerks informed the Speaker that we were amending the Sessional Paper. But after consultations, it occurred very clearly that we were not amending the Sessional Paper which is not allowed under the Standing Orders. However, we were ...
