• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Second Reading of this Bill. Much has been said about this Bill, and I need not go into the Bill itself, because I think hon. Members have gone through it clause by clause. I just wanted to commend hon.

• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Motion that the Bill be now read the Third Time. This is truly a historical moment.

Even Mr. Kiunjuri has not moved a Motion amending any Motion. Now, if we continue on that road, then we are trying to create what in the United States of America is called "filibuster", but it should be on a substantive Motion before the House.

• 9 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: I thought that hon. Dr. Khalwale was standing on a matter of clarification following your ruling. I sat and watched her as she tried to rise up, but before she could say anything, both you and hon. Dr. Khalwale put the show on the road. However, I think it is important that the Clerk-at-the- Table is given her piece of the show. view
• 9 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to remind the House that when the next Order was called, it was loud and clear, despite the fact that there are very intensive consultations. So, could the Chair ask the Clerks-at-the-Table to be as loud as they were when calling the present Order? view
