• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: This is the most contentious. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you are right. This is probably the most contentious amendment in this Bill. Allow me two minutes to conclude. I started by saying that I plead with the Leader of Majority Party. He is our leader in this House and he should not apply emotions in moving amendments to a Bill. If it was brought by hon. Kang’ata or hon. Ichung’wah, I would have understood because nowadays I really understand how they act. view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, hon. Duale is the Leader of Majority Party and he should lead by showing maturity. view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: They have already argued. This is unconstitutional. view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I think I was misunderstood. I meant a polarizing amendment. You know hon. Kang’ata always brings polarizing proposals in this House. It is actually a virtue. view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Let me withdraw that and proceed. I have withdrawn in good faith. 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
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Let me conclude by saying, this amendment, and even the provisions of Clause 3 which were inserted in my Bill against my wish, is unconstitutional. It can be contested in court. Even as Members of Parliament, we have a pension scheme; if you lose your seat, God forbid; I hope you are not going to lose your seat; you are entitled to pension but you can still participate and win back your seat. You are only paid pension but the moment you win back your seat, you will not enjoy the pension and that is provided for in this Bill ... view

• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. There is a very critical point of order that I wanted to raise. If we had the benefit of seeing my original Bill, it had the Deputy President and other offices but the Budget and Appropriations Committee, under Article 114, deleted all that. I want direction from you. Now that we are bringing it back through another hon. Member, is it constitutional? Is it within our Standing Orders? I remember the Committee made a resolution to delete and remove “Deputy President and Chief Justice”. It was in my original Bill; I ... view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you for coming to bring some order in the House, because we were almost losing it in terms of order. As the Chairman of the Committee of the whole House has just reported, there was an amendment that was introduced by hon. A.B. Duale. But you will remember that as the sponsor of the Bill, when I made the proposal to have the Bill processed, you referred it to the Budget and Appropriations Committee in terms of Article 114 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.114; that is pre-publication scrutiny, as the law requires. So, the ... view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: You have made this ruling not once or twice, but a number of times. So many amendments on the Floor of the House have actually not been carried because they were provisions that constituted a money Bill in terms of Article 114. Hon. Speaker, we felt that there was no need for us to vote on that particular amendment, unless it is first processed by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We call upon you to uphold your earlier rulings about amendments that touch on money Bills, and that you have made a number of times. I do not doubt your ... view
