Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, when you look at the Order Paper and the way we are considering the clauses, we have jumped from Clause 7 and we have gone to Clause 9 and there is Clause 8.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. These things are unique on a case to case basis. This is something that happens depending on the complication of the aspect at hand. The 60 days in some cases… I know it has been there for timeliness but, in some cases, it has worked to the contrary. It is good to assess and not assume that within 60 days, if there is no reply, it is deemed that he has accepted. This is because it is on a case to case basis. How I wish that you would have left that to their ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Ordinarily, when it comes to the Committee of the whole House, and here we have so many (a), (b) and (c)… I want you to direct our Chair that as we move on, he needs to justify clause by clause. This is because he is confusing. Indeed, what Hon. Pukose has said is true. I also agree with the Leader of the Majority Party because the issue initially was 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent. He has brought up other issues which have actually confused us even more. So, for the remaining ones, ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Hon. Limo, I thank you because when we were debating this, we were opposed to it. I am happy to learn that you are a listening Chairman. He has removed that amendment which proposed to remove capping which some of us had really supported. We had already discussed this in the previous Bill by Hon. Jude Njomo. What I have learnt is that it has just been borrowed as per the court judgement. There are things like credit facilities and loans. I thank you for that. At least you listened. In this ...

Article 95 of the Constitution is very clear that this House can deliberate and resolve any issue of concern to the people. I am humbly requesting that we set up a parliamentary ad hoc committee to inquire into this matter and come up with resolutions. We cannot debate in vain. I propose that Hon. Sossion be the chair of that Committee and 001 to be the vice chair so that we inquire into this matter. This is because parliamentary Standing Orders allow us to do this. We are not going to talk about this forever. We must come up with ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support Hon. Cheptumo’s amendment. It is, indeed, positive. It does not negate the President’s proposal at all and a simple majority will work out. We do not need to re- state what is stated in the Constitution. I request Members who are here to support the amendment. As my colleagues have clearly put it, the role of SRC is clear in the Constitution while the role of the Parliamentary Service Commission is to ensure effectiveness and efficiency of Parliament. There are some other jurisdictions that we can try to benchmark. The ...
