• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Hon. Duale has imputed a lot of improper motive on me; on the person of the Deputy Speaker.

So, maybe, you need to further amend it and say 50 per cent plus one. A majority is more than 50 per cent. So, if that can be further amended to say the quorum of a meeting of a County Executive Committee shall be one-half plus one of its membership, so that we conform to the requirements of the law itself. view

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: “The quorum of a meeting of a county executive committee shall be one half plus one of its membership”. For to it be able to establish the majority required; one half is not adequate. view
