• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I hope you will accept my intervention. The difficulty that you are having right now is because your Clerks did not order the amendments properly. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: If they had let hon. (Eng.) Gumbo to give his amendments before the Chairman, then you would not have had a problem. That is the problem that you are having right now. I hope that in the other amendments that are coming, they will follow the order so that it does not muddle up everybody’s thinking. Thank you. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: My amendment was covered by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Is the hon. Member implying that Class Eight drop outs want to die? view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I agree with the sentiments of the Leader of the Majority Party and my Deputy Leader of the Minority Party. However, mine is a bit different. There was an issue the Leader of the Majority Party raised about Money Bills emanating from this House, and not from the other House. When we were debating the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 in the last Parliament – which we were constrained to pass as it was – I said that when we come back to the Eleventh Parliament, one of the tough wars would be about superiority between the ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Regarding the issue of Money Bills from either the Senate or the National Assembly, what is listed on the Order Paper are essentially amendments to such Bills by the Senate. As you address yourself to that matter, could you, please, guide us? For instance, there is the County Governments (Amendment) Bill, and the Senate takes care of the county governments. Could you guide us and the public generally, including the Senate in a way, in the sense that if they have an amendment they wish this House to consider and it happens to be a Money Bill, which route they ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as you make your ruling, you can look at that area and see how best to improve the relations between the National Assembly and the Senate, so that we can do something good for this country. view

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for this chance. This kind of situation calls on you to do a precedent setting review of the whole matter. With the new constitutional dispensation, this Budget Policy Statement will be coming to the House every year. The way things appear, we are not privy to that Budget Policy Statement until it is tabled by the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Once it has been tabled, the only thing we can do on our side would be to bring amendments. If we were to consult the Chairman and his Committee to look at our ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand on the same Standing Order No.227 regarding petitions, and where it says that the Speaker might allow a few of us to comment on petitions. What hon. Kemei did is very commendable. In fact, that Petition can help solve the problem in very many other sugar companies, especially Nzoia. When the debate will come on the Floor, hopefully later on in the day, I intend to move an amendment which will satisfy part of the Petitioner’s wishes, if the House accepts my amendment. Hon. Speaker, what hon. Kemei has done, or what the people ... view
