• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I withdraw that and apologise to the hon. Member. I was just getting a bit worked up. But on subsection (b) we are now moving to stage two where the Cabinet Secretary is considering to approve certain amounts to a county “a” or “b”. However, this has to come to Parliament. Here we are saying: “A House or Parliament may approve a draft loan guarantee document as provided by sub-clause 2(b)(ii) only if it is satisfied that the guarantee is: 1(a) in public view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that is a beautiful amendment and I support it. Why have we excluded Members of Parliament? view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Okay, if it is covered elsewhere, that is okay. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I strongly support. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I have just been informed that where we were supposed to deal with the university degree for Members of Parliament, it will not happen! So, I propose that a further amendment be put now so that it covers Members of Parliament as well! “Member of Parliament” covers both representatives of Senate and Lower House. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Let us read these things. If we could read them together, then we would understand that the proposed amendment is unconstitutional. It says: Qualifications and disqualifications for nomination as resident. “A person qualifies for nomination as Presidential candidate if the person; (a) is a citizen by birth; (b) is qualified to stand for elections as a Member for Parliament; (c) is nominated by a political party or is an independent candidate; and, (d) is nominated by not fewer than two thousand voters from each of a majority of the counties. Subsection 2 reads; ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (a) Owes allegiance to a foreign state; or view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (b) is a public officer, or is acting in any State or other public office. The exception comes after that which says; Clause 2 - which I have just read “shall not apply to the President, Deputy President or a Member of Parliament”. So, it is very clear from that, that Governors are not covered. In fact, they are not covered under the Constitution. I tried to move this amendment at the KIE that we should cover Governors, but nobody was listening. We are late now. We need a constitutional amendment to include it. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have to complain on the Floor of the House because that amendment, if you look at it, is for the Contingencies Fund and County Emergency Funds Bill, Bill No.44. Now they have brought the office here and I cannot blame them too much because they are working under stress. But they have brought that amendment into another Bill, which is the Government Guarantee view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is a very dangerous proposition particularly for us who are political party managers. Subsection (2) says:- “A person who has participated as a candidate in a nomination or selection of candidates of a political party shall not be eligible for nomination as a candidate by another political party”. If we delete this, it means someone will run for nomination here, loses and goes to another party. We cannot have such indiscipline! I oppose. view
