• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, these people are making a joke out of a very big thing. One of us nearly lost his life. You saw him being tossed from the truck. I have had occasions to consult and I am told he was rolled down like how a snake would take its prey. view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I am also told that, that gentleman who went to attack him was armed. Last week, I consulted the Leader of the Majority Party and I said that before we go for elections, we must make this issue of violent campaigns to stop, so that we must not be fist fighting when we look for seats. I hope the Chair of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee is listening. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I thank you for allowing us. I have also been told that that crook has also gone to the police to try to have Hon. Kaluma arrested. ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you realise we have a stranger in the Front Bench here in the name of Hon. Makali. Hon. Speaker, I wanted to request you to allow me to bring to the attention of our colleagues the demise of Hon. Otuoma’s only son which happened on Friday night at Nairobi Hospital. Obviously, our condolences and hearts go out to him. Because Members were away, Hon. Otuoma has decided to bury his son as soon as possible and we have been asked to inform Members who may be interested to attend the burial. The body will be laid to rest ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: his Funyula home. We also have a gathering to help him defray the medical costs because the death was sudden. We shall be meeting today at United Kenya Club at 6.00 p.m. It is good to say that this was an adult Kenyan who was 19 years old. He was doing his first year in university. That is the sad news the family is faced with. I just needed that indulgence. I know many Members did not seem to understand. We will be passing a list and a condolence book for signature and support that Members may wish to give ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you may pardon us for being very interested in this particular matter. When Hon. Keynan said he was withdrawing, he said certain matters have come up. I have been around this Parliament for a very long time and excuse me for being very curious at a time when there is too much noise about corruption in our country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I beg to be excused. Hon. Speaker, PSC is a quasi-commission. I have forgotten the proper phrase. It is not an ordinary Committee of the House. It cannot enjoy the same privileges like the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relation, the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee or the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. They can bring a Motion here and withdraw it hiding behind the Standing Orders. They can only withdraw it under Standing Order No.51(2) which says “with leave of the House” in which case we must debate ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: No. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we may then have to define what a Special Motion is. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what makes me think that it is a Special Motion is that it is a Motion questioning the accounts of Parliament, that is a constitutional body. It is also a Motion by a Member of the Commission. It is not an ordinary Motion of this Parliament. It may not have been defined in the Standing Orders. I want to withdraw and say that it is not defined, but I know the good judge and arbiter you are, you know that this fits within the meaning of the word “special” because it is questioning us. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg you that it would be nice to ask Hon. Keynan to tell this House the reason of withdrawing the Motion. This firm which has been withdrawn, maybe, he can withdraw it, but we can bring a Special Motion to discuss the activities of the firm. view
