• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: We want to move together with him. The majority of us have no idea of what he is talking about. If you can just tell us the gist of your amendment so that we move with you, that will be good. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I know that we are trying to help some of us. I remember that it was none other than the Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Dr. Laboso, when the Bill on elections was here for discussion, she said: “We cannot legislate for ourselves as Members of Parliament.” If this amendment was saying that we are going to lower for all Kenyans until the election of 2017, I would accept it.

• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, you remember that I requested that we recommit the amendment by hon. Dr. Nuh. My issue here which has not come out very clearly from them is that this amendment is only cushioning Members of Parliament and councillors who are in office at the expense of the general public.

Our understanding of what has been re-committed was the amendment by Dr. Nuh, and nothing else.

• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I am getting there. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I am about to put my case to you, so that you can decide. What I am saying is that we are having two debates. We actually support hon. Kimunya’s amendment, but we are having two confusing debates. We are opposing Dr. Nuh’s amendment and, at the same time, we are supporting hon. Kimunya’s amendment. So, we need to be very clear. If it is his, we should deal with it knowing that there is Dr. Nuh’s amendment coming, so that we do not get confused. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, for purposes of clarity, I beg to move:- THAT, the insertions on Section 22(3) of the Elections Act, 2010, be deleted. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, yesterday, we approved this amendment but, unfortunately, hon. Members did not understand the implication of this amendment. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, hon. Members are consulting loudly. view
