• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It looked almost unusual when I rose to support the Motion because there has been a lot of anxiety in this country. In the absence of this Bill, it means over 150 hon. Members of this House will be affected by these deadlines. In my view, we made a bad law and this House has responsibility to rectify it. view

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even though we want to pass this Bill which I know many people will say is selfish on our ... view

• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is a curious amendment by Mr. Nyambati. I rise to oppose it for the very reason given by Mr. Baiya. As you may remember, this is a negotiated position, that is one year. It took us almost three weeks haggling over it. So, to come here and then ambush us with an amendment to allow making of an appointment for four years through the backdoor is unfair to this House. I oppose in the strongest terms. view
