• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: But this particular one is in itself--- view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: This particular one has issues. These are a few Kenyans. You must remember that Hon. Kaparo was looking for a job simply because nobody gave him retirement. Baba Moody Awori is out there. You want to allow them draw retirement from nothing? This is very unfair. We can afford to take care of people who have served this country the same way we take care of President Kibaki and President Moi. It is only fair we do the same to the others. I oppose and I urge everybody to be reasonable so that we know that all of us will ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I know your background as a lawyer. We must follow the rules of this House. It is always before we even vote on this particular amendment. It should have been in the beginning. It used to be in this 11th Parliament, under the new Constitution that any such amendment should have gone to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. What we are doing here is an illegality as per our own rules. We cannot have another raft of amendments which are of financial nature and have not gone to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. This is the ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I am not sure whether what we are doing is procedural .The re-committal should have been reported to the Chair. He is now amending a Motion after he should have done the re-committal. What he has just done is very un-procedural. You and I know it. Secondly, when you are doing a re-committal, it cannot be on a deleted clause. There is nothing to recommit. Once the House deletes and replaces, you cannot re-do it. That is just our procedure. Clause 40 was deleted and replaced. You cannot take that to debate as a procedure. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I do not know if we have two Standing Orders but my Section 136(3) reads as follows:- ― A Member who desires to delete or amend any provision contained in a Bill, or to introduce a new provision in the Bill under paragraph (2), may propose any amendment to add, at the end of a Motion under paragraph (1) the words ― subject to the re-committal of the Bill ( in respect of some specified part or of some proposed new clause or new schedule) to a Committee of the whole House‖, and if that Motion is agreed to with ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: If you go further to Section 137(2) it says:- ―The House shall consider the Bill as reported from the Select Committee upon a Motion ―That the report of the Select Committee on the House….. Bill be approved‖ He has already done the reporting. So, what we are attempting to do has been passed and it is there. I have underlined it in this Standing Order. It says Committee of the Whole House. This cannot be a Committee of the whole House. This is the House. I am very clear. This does not even need interpretation. Thank you. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It would be right for the hon. Member to be informed that on page 20 of the Report tabled by the President, all the former officials of IIEC are condemned. That is factual. So, when you say that she has never been named, I think that is incorrect. I think he is out of order. They defeat us because ―we want to make this Government so bad so that we can send it home.‖ We can get better people. view
