I would like the Assistant Minister to respond to that issue together with the one to be raised by Mr. Duale who is on a point of order. I would like the Assistant Minister to respond to the two issues if I sustain Mr. Duale’s point of order.

Mr. Assistant Minister, I think it is important that you clarify the issue of those cases. The way to do it, as you know, is to present the pleadings to the House. If you rely on the principle of sub judice under our Standing Orders, you are required to table before the House particulars of the case and point out their status so that we know whether they are active so that you can dispel the issues being raised by Members that, indeed, there is no case pending in Nakuru. What would you like to say to that?

Order! I think the Assistant Minister has given an explanation that for the Commission to be fully constituted, the Chair must be fully sworn-in. They have deemed it reasonable to await the outcome of the decision tomorrow so that they can swear in the three of them because swearing-in the two Commissioners will not facilitate the work of the Commission without the Chair. That is what I understood the Assistant Minister to be saying. Nevertheless, Mr. Assistant Minister, what is it that you want to add on to what hon. Shebesh has raised?

Mr. Duale, are you not anticipating the decision of the courts tommorow?

So, you may ask a question relating to the other two but not on the chairman.

Mr. Samoei, that was the last question but I will exercise my discretion and allow you to ask your question.

Yes, hon. Shakeel.

Not to explain but to ask a question.

Order! Order, Mr. Shakeel! Can I know whether you are answering or asking a question?

19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
Order! Order, hon. Shakeel! I am going to disallow you from further proceeding if you are not going to ask a question. The responsibility of answering questions and giving policy statements belongs to the Government, unless you are seeking to become a Member of the Front Bench in order to answer the question by the hon. Member. So, please, ask a question, if you wish. If you do not want to ask a question, desist from seeking the attention of the Chair.
