• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Sambu, he is already on a point of order! I know you are the Vice Chairperson of the Budget Committee and by virtue of that position, you will always be considered. Therefore, relax for now. Mr. Githae, please, proceed! view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Order, Minister! You may not have heard what came from your mouth. The Member is right. Just take that as good advice and proceed! view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Mbadi! You cannot be persistent in raising points of order on a matter the Chair has disposed of. If you did not formulate your point of order in a better way, it is not the problem of the Chair. I am only entertaining the issue of 50 cents. I think Mr. Martin Ogindo is correct because Article 222 (2) (b) talks about “Not exceeding”. So, anything that exceeds is unconstitutional! So that is what we should cure. Mr. Githae, you had the Floor, please proceed! view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, we are not going to debate this matter. The only matter I will entertain is the one remedying the 50 cents business. view

Since the Minister has already started moving the Motion and, therefore, cannot make an amendment, the Seconder can make the necessary amendments to reduce the 50 cents. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Order! You know we have procedures and that is my job. One, the issues raised are weighty matters on small points but they are still weighty because we are talking about the Constitution. You cannot also tell me that you can just round up figures. We are also talking about money matters. It has two decimal places and not one or four. You can reduce it to the necessary decimal places, especially when the provision is so expressed “not exceeding.” So, anything on top is exceeding. I also appreciate that the business before us is very critical. So, we should ... view

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Mbadi, you are at liberty to make use of your good time! view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Midiwo, you will allow the Chair to discharge its obligation. The Chair has been invited to make a ruling. This is not a matter that is contentious. First and foremost, the Chair gave a Communication from the Chair yesterday on the process that we are going to follow. The estimates were committed to the Budget Committee and that, to me, is according to part 4. The Chair also gave a time-table on how we will go to receive public recommendations. That will be part 5 of 221. The Chair also gave you 21 days to complete all that you ... view
