I know that we are about to go to the substantive debate, but I rise under Standing Order 96(1), which says that a Member who wishes to postpone to some future occasion the further discussion of a question which has been proposed from the Chair may claim to move:- “That, the debate be now adjourned.” view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I want to do just that for one reason. I am limiting it to one issue. As you notice, the Motion which has just been proposed has some monies being given to Senators. Without debating whether we are opposing or not, the Regulations have just been circulated. It will be nice for this House, using the arguments of my friend, Hon. Ababu, to not rush into approving monies when we do not know how public funds are going to be used. I have had a casual run- through the Regulations, which are supposed to guide the usage of the money ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: activities in counties and/or any other monitoring and evaluation activity relevant to the mandate of the Senate. What is the work of the county assemblies? view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The Senators are going to leave their cardinal role given to them in the Constitution. They can set up parliamentary committees in the Senate to do that job. But we are giving them money to go and conduct opinion polls. Members of Parliament must read the effect of money going to their villages when it is given as a grant.

Just casual imagination, the Senator of the County of Nairobi will get ... view

In other words, they have been denied this kitty. It is a club of 47 men dividing Kshs332 million. How discriminatory can a fund be? That is discrimination against women in the Senate. This one requires discussion. I am requesting and begging you to give us the next 24 hours and we will come up with an amendment which we can bring here and direct public funds where they will be better utilised for the sake of whatever little that is left ... view

• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This being a mediated version of the Bill, and I seem to be listening to the same story from Members over and over again and we have a major Bill ahead of us in the Committee stage, will I be in order to ask that we end the debate and ask for the Mover to reply? Thank you. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Nyokabi, I am sorry for the interruption. I just wanted us to have enough time to go through the next Order. So, I wanted to move a Procedural Motion to extend time. Could I do that? view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: That is what I was looking for because of time. Thank you. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.30(3)(a), this House resolves to extend its sitting time today until conclusion of business appearing as Order No.10 in today’s Order Paper. Thank you. The reason is as I have said. view
