• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am seeking your direction on the clarifications that we seek, as a House. We usually seek clarifications from the Leader of Majority Party. Traditionally, we send him to the various Government agencies, as the link; to bring us information. I wonder what further clarifications he can be giving on his own, having brought a written communication from whichever Government agency we sent him to; without referring back to those agencies? Are we being fed on his imaginations or thinking? view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a matter which should be addressed, if we are going to take the issue of Statements and clarifications very seriously. It is time the Chair gave guidance on a matter like this one. If there are matters we are calling “clarifications”, my thinking is that he should note them down and refer them back to the relevant Government Departments, so that we can have tangible details we can work upon as a House, through the relevant Committees. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I need to seek your guidance. There is a Motion that the hon. Member moved before this House last week on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing strike of teachers. You gave guidance that once we are through with the urgent business then we can discuss this Motion. I plead that we bring this Motion because it was urgent then and it is still urgent now. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the happenings of that day are known to everybody. It is not something that I need to go to. However, by 6.30 p.m. on that day the House was suspended. When the Speaker resumed his seat the indication was that we were to complete the Appropriation Bill and issues related to it after which we would adjourn. So, it was clear to me based on that direction that I could not go into that Motion that day any way. view
