• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, once you have said they are the once to nominate, then there is no way you can run away and say that KNCHR is not doing its work properly and they should be thrown out. I think we are trying to throw the Government to unelected group of persons and I think that should not be encouraged. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for record purposes, I did not mean that I was throwing some mud to the civil society. I have grown from the civil society by I was saying that the way it is being formulated, we may be confined to a particular category or group within the civil society. We should open up! view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have trouble with that one. For example, if you have a symbol and a particular part of the country wants to incorporate a national symbol, I do not see what is wrong with that. For instance, if the symbol includes the national flag, what would be wrong with that? view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think it is normally done for purposes of clarity. For example, if you read the Local Government Act, you will find that there are provisions there that a local authority, as established under the Local Government Act, shall be a body corporate. That can be the case even for county governments, for avoidance of doubt. We have done this in so many Bills that have gone through this House.

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think it will be rather onerous on our part to take on us the responsibility to decide for counties or county assemblies whom they can and cannot invite. By our Standing Orders, by resolution, that issue is normally decided; who can sit in the galleries, who can attend sessions in what respect. Therefore, I plead with you let us give the county assemblies that latitude through their standing orders. Probably as a prospective Senator you are taking your work too seriously before you are elected. view

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, luckily this thing has been dealt with. If you look at your Order Paper on page 3214 the proposed Second Schedule – Matters to be provided for in the County Assembly Standing Orders--- view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Sorry, I am using the morning Order Paper. But anyway if you look at --- view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Anyway what I am saying is that if you look at the matrix of the Second Schedule it contains what must be in the Standing Orders. Amongst them there, the Governor’s address to the assembly, address by the Senator or person other than the Governor or Member. Therefore, I think it has been placed where it belongs. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to point out something to hon. Mungatana. I think under the old Constitution, threshold for the removal of the Speaker is much higher than even that required for changing the Constitution. I think it is 75 per cent, if I am not wrong. So, I think it is well thought out that if you have a Speaker who can be removed any time then that undermines his authority, especially when as the Minister is saying the assemblies have few members view
