• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General confirms that, indeed, the Director of Public Prosecutions instructed that the hon. Member be arrested and prosecuted. That was widely circulated. At the time it was, the hon. Member was in this House. The circumstances under which the hon. Member left the precincts of Parliament in order to prevent the police from performing the task given to them by the Director of Public Prosecutions clearly shows that there was aiding and abating by either staff, Members of this House or the police itself in order to circumvent the arrest of the hon. Member. Could the ... view

• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: This is just for one day, surely. view

• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Sorry, that is spent. Before you read Order No. 8, let the record show that the spelling mistake on hon. Eseli’s name as the Mover of the Bill is corrected. It is hon. Dr. Eseli Simiyu and not Simuyu. Let that correction be noted in the HANSARD. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Before I call the next Order, hon. Members, a request has been made to the Chair to re-organize the business of today. In view of the importance of the issue raised in the business falling under Order No.16 regarding the security situation in Banita, a request has been made that the Chair re- organizes the business, so that the business under that Order can come immediately after the business under Order No.9. Unless there are serious objections, I am inclined to do so. If I do not see any objections, then I would give directions to that effect. So, after ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: As a rule, we go by the recommendations of the House Business Committee and having taken the decision yesterday, I do not know that we can proceed with that Order. If you have any issues, would you approach hon. Midiwo, so that he can brief you? There are reasons, I understand, why they were asking that the Bill be deferred. There were amendments that are being introduced. If they are going to be introduced, then it will not be fair to proceed with it this morning and leave out the proposals for amendments that the Government or Mr. Midiwo was ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: I wish they were here, so that they can respond. This having been brought to the attention of the Chair, I had given the indication that I will be deferring the Bill. You have put me in a very awkward situation now, hon. Odhiambo-Mabona. They are not here and I had already given an indication that I will defer it. I did not see any bad faith when the information was brought to me. I am not even sure who approached me. Hold on a minute while I consult. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Hon. Odhiambo-Mabona, I am now in the picture. It is not just that. There are, at least, two other Members who have submitted amendments for introduction. So, I will defer it to next Wednesday on priority basis in the order of business for that day. As we go to the next Order, I am put in a bit of an awkward situation because I am a Member of the Committee on Delegated Legislation and I wanted to participate in the next business. I can see that hon. Ethuro has walked out. I do not know any Member who is able ... view
