• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also stand to support this Bill. With a heavy heart, I note that, in fact, it is Bill No.22 and the Finance Bill is No.21 and I think we also have the Tobacco Control Bill which is Bill No.2 published in March this year which has not been discussed by this House. I want to underline the fact that the House Business Committee must look at all these Bills fairly so that the House can go and do its business in an orderly manner instead of a partisan manner. Mr. Temporary Deputy ... view
• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: in River Road, Kenyatta Avenue or Oginga Odinga Street in Kisumu. When will our people have a chance do to business? Those people have dominated businesses at the highest level, with gross operating incomes of hundreds of millions of shillings, to the very lowest.

• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that ruling. I support this Bill. As a Parliament, it is necessary for us not to hurry when we are making laws for this country. Today, we have just witnessed a spectacle where rules, which we made in the last Parliament - of which I was a Member---We did not look at the rules in a historical perspective. They are now being applied against the very people who made them. It is, therefore, necessary to scrutinise these Bills when they come before the House so that, when a law is made, it ... view

• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion, which I 3114 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 25, 2006 believe is very important for this country. It is a Motion whose time has come. I want to congratulate the hon. Member for bringing this Motion to the Floor of the House. The trade sector is of utmost importance to the economy of this country. It is imperative that we look at it properly. One only needs to look at what is happening elsewhere in the world and realise that something is amiss in Kenya because we do not give trade ... view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support your ruling that, in fact, he should move the amendment first so that we know exactly what he is moving as he is building his case. view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is really no amendment before the House because it has not been drafted and moved, and the House cannot be expected to be waiting for it to be done. It should have been done before. We really want to do this together, but the procedure must be followed. This is a House of Parliament. view
