• 23 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to second this Motion. view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion. Under Standing Order No.145, the House Business Committee's procedures and rules are clearly set out. These hon. Members represent political parties, and as we know, FORD(P) is entitled to have its own slots in this Committee. The fact that some Members of FORD(P) are supporting the Government does not mean that the political party has died. The political party is entitled to its slots. In fact, some of the Members of the party are still in the Opposition. view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: You have Mr. Magara! You think he is not a member? Mr. Speaker, Sir, FORD(P) is entitled to its slots. I also remember the ruling of the Chair that, when KANU had its slots from the total Membership, we were also entitled to our slots. I do not think that, that ruling has been changed or amended by yourself. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we know it, NARC has not been dissolved--- view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: There is FORD(K) led by Mr. Kombo! view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, 14 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 22 March, 2006 Sir, as we know it, this is one of the rulings--- view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: This is one of the rulings that the Chair is yet to make. It deals with the composition of this House. In the structure of this House now, it does not appear that there is one party that forms the Opposition. That is because some members of KANU are also in Government. view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: To that extent, I do not know whether it is illegal or not. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the official position of FORD(P) is that, we are in the Opposition but supporting the Government! view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is clear that political parties--- view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with you. You have already named the parties that will constitute the House Business Committee. They are NARC, KANU, FORD(P) and other miscellaneous political parties. I beg to second. view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I only have one comment to make. Indeed, you said that there are three recognised parties in the House. These are the NARC, KANU and FORD(P). Even if we were to go with those numbers in relation to all the hon. Members in the House, in fact, FORD(P) would be entitled to 1.6 Members in that Committee. That means that since we do not have a 0.6 of a person, the nearest would be two hon. Members. On that basis, FORD(P) would have been entitled on its own right to have two hon. Members. But since you ... view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Leader of Opposition in order to imply that at that time, FORD (P) did not have a whip! What happens naturally is that, a party with more than seven Members is a parliamentary party. But the person who submits the names within the consultation of the whips; and there are many whips as every political party has a whip--- Is he, therefore, in order to imply that there was no whip--- view
