• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Order, Senator! In fact, there I do not need a single minute to rule on that; that is obvious and so clear. Standing Order 130(1) says:- “A Bill having been read a First Time shall stand committed to the relevant Standing Committee without question put.” (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Senate may resolve to commit a Bill to a select committee established for that purpose.” I do not know which reasons are being contemplated here and I would not want to do so. The Senate may decide that they would want a Select Committee. Therefore, a Senator just puts a ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Sen. Karue, that is an obvious matter. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale had already explained that the public participation did not take place during the First Reading and Second Reading. For some reason, it took place after Second Reading. Since we are yet to reach the Third Reading, I do not that all is lost.

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Sen. Okong’o for your serious observations. That was out of order for all those who are mentioned. I have noticed some tendencies creeping in where we seem to be talking to the Chair through gesturing out of turn, persistently. You know what to do when you want to address the House. That should serve as a warning to all the responsible Senators. If you machine is not working, let me know in advance. Unfortunately, Sen. Kagwe, there is no one from the Committee willing to respond to your issue. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Order Sen. Ongoro! It is not enough to notify. You should apologize for not being digital. Secondly, we have made provisions that you can actually leave your cards at the entrance, so that you do not really have to be carrying it. We will keep them for you. view
