Order! Just a minute, Mr. Ruto! I am given to understand that, in fact, the seconder of this Motion sought notice of leave to introduce these amendments. It was pointed out to him by the Clerk that there is indeed, a substantive committee dealing with the issue and that the results of the amendments will completely take away the intent and substance of the intended Motion which is to grant leave. Following that advice, Mr. Mututho withdrew the notice. So, as we speak now, no notice has been given and if that is the case, you may find a hurdle ...

Order, Mr. Ruto! I do not want to prevent you from moving your amendment but we must at the same time ensure that we comply with the provisions of the Standing Orders. I have pointed out to you that when Mr. Mututho gave notice and these issues were put to him, he withdrew the notice so that as of now, no notice has been given. If that is the case, then you cannot invoke Standing Order No.41 to introduce these amendments.

No, Mr. Ruto! I do not want to take your time and I am going to give you some minutes to finish. I do not want you to think that the Chair is preventing you from giving notice. I am pointing it out to you that the notice that was given by Mr. Mututho was withdrawn and that is why indeed, he did not raise that amendment himself. If that is the case, then you will be caught by the provisions of Standing Order No.41 3394 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 12, 2008 which require you to give notice of any amendments ...

Mr. Ruto, I am not going to engage you in a debate on this matter. That is the position of the Chair. In fact, if it was Mr. Ruto, then he should have pointed it out to me that, he has, in fact, given that notice. However, that was not the impression that was given to me. So, in those circumstances, I am sorry. I may have to decline to allow you introduce this amendment without notice.
