• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Baiya’a amendment is on page 3664 under Section 28 the third paragraph. But he is not here to move it and so the amendment is dropped. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: That is a good issue but it is not for the Chair because you would assume if it was for the Committee there would have been another hon. Member. So, since neither the hon. Member himself nor any other person that he delegated to and he did not mention, the Chair will assume they were just his personal amendments. Even if they were for the Committee and the Committee is not there to prosecute them, we have no choice but to drop them. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Nyamweya! Thank you for that input, but I want to remind you that even an ordinary Member bringing his or her own amendment can in writing ask another hon. Member to propose the same amendment.

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Baiya! The chair had actually dropped your amendment. So, let us make progress. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, I beg to move the following amendment to Section 27 of the Elections Act:- (a) in the amendment proposed to section 27 by deleting the word “three” appearing at the end of the amendment and substituting therefor the word “two”; Those are two months or 60 days.

It is only because of this particular transition period. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with him. I listen and it is only a fool who cannot change his mind. The Deputy Leader of Government Business has convinced me; it is just another one month and I hope he will also listen to my advice in the subsequent amendments of 45 days to the General Election. I withdraw the amendment. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, I have subsequent amendments further in the line of argument that hon. Kimunya was taking which will negate his argument. But I just want to pick him on one; the one of the independent candidate being required by the Constitution to demonstrate that he was not a member of a party at least three months. Now, if this list was being submitted four months to the general elections, then the IEBC would have difficult in determining so. We are talking about at least two months; one, parties are not under obligation, they will always bring it ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, how does it fall from three to 60 and 60 to 45? Anyway, I will do it in my own Motion. I withdraw the amendment. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Let us defeat or support an amendment on its own merit. It is completely misleading for two serious personalities in this House, in fact, three of them whom, naturally, on the face of view
