28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
I am sure that Hon. Wandayi is prepared to move the Motion on the PIC Report. This Report is necessary because it will push us to cover up to June 2015. We will be left with two financial years. That will help us to have more updated accounts for division of revenue in this country. Remember, this House has been previously accused of failing to approve accounts for the division of revenue that goes to our counties. The PIC also had started the debate and we want to conclude it before we go on recess.

Finally, there is the elephant in the room. The image of this House has been compromised a lot by the serious allegations of bribery during the debate on sugar Report. It is important that we do not adjourn for recess before this matter is debated and possibly the truth comes out so that we redeem the image of this House. So, we felt that it was important that this Report is prioritised for debate this morning. With those remarks, I beg to second and plead with the House to support the Motion.

28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
We were even debating whether to limit the time allocated for debate for the two other Motions by PIC and PAC but again the HBC decided to exclude those from this limitation because our main role is to oversee the Executive. There is no better way of overseeing the Executive other than through the reports of these two key watchdog committees. The Report of the Powers and Privileges Committee is straightforward. So, Members can take as little time as possible to dispose of it. I request this House to approve this Procedural Motion so that we limit the time for ...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. We can excuse Hon. Kaluma for today. However, going forward, I think it is important that we come out clearly on this issue of dressing. This morning a similar issue was raised concerning Hon. Sankok and it was just dismissed casually. I am worried that soon, each one of us will come in different shades and colours. I wonder how this Parliament will look. I think we need to be a bit careful and come out clearly on the issue of dressing.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I was on my feet, something important has happened. I am sure the Speaker will address it, but I cannot fail to recongise the presence of Baba in the House. Hon. Speaker, I just want to persuade you that this issue of dressing needs to be addressed. If we just leave it the way we are leaving it, very soon, Members will come to this House dressed in different shades, colours and types and this House will look really terrible. This is the august House. It is not Gikomba or Kibuye Market. Thank you.

28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, my quick reaction and response to Hon. Wamalwa’s point of order is that the Mover of the Bill can at any time seek the indulgence of the House to withdraw his Bill. I do not think there is anything out of order in the Leader of the Majority Party making this request. As a Member of the HBC which deals with prioritising debate in the House, we discussed this matter last evening. Realising the magnitude and importance of the Bill before us, we made a decision that in the event we would realise that we are not able ...
