• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I think we need to correct hon. Sakaja, about that particular provision. You should remember that there was Tenth Parliament and all that is stipulated there, the National Assembly then acted as both National Assembly and Senate and we approved even the formula for sharing all that. So, it is not that, that has not been done, what has not been done is what we are doing today. view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I realize now you have difficulties in giving me time. I think I have spoken too much. Let me make small contribution to this. Whereas I support the definitions added because the Bill did not have enough definitions, it is important to correct the definition of “unconditional allocations”. It is only the Leader of Majority Party, according to our standing orders, who can amend an amendment on the Floor. The term “unconditional allocations” means allocations in the share of revenue allocated to the National Government for the purpose of meeting unspecified county government expenditure. I think it should ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to just support this Motion by making three comments. We have not done justice to this Bill. Actually, this Bill would have been transacted much better if we had the relevant committee. I do pray that next week we will not move on without these committees.

Actually the reason--- (Sound Hitch) --- stage is because this Constitution asks Parliament to uphold and defend it. That is why given the timelines I felt it was necessary to bring it--- (Sound Hitch) --- has no leeway--- (Sound Hitch) --- which I just drew your attention to - It is very explicit. It states that at least two months before the end of each financial year, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for Finance shall submit to the National Assembly--- I agree with you, Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 24 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to second this Motion. In seconding the Motion, I would like to congratulate the Leader of the Majority Party for thinking ahead and seriously. Looking at the size of this Parliament of 349 Members, and given that we expect each Member to participate in at least two committees in order to perform a meaningful civic duty that the people of Kenya entrusted with each one of us, it is necessary that we increase the membership of various committees. That way, we will have as many of us as possible participating ... view
• 17 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the rules of this House bar a Member from addressing another hon. Member directly. We need to be addressed through you. We should not allow this precedent. I have seen a precedent being set up this afternoon, of trying to stifle debate. You view

• 28 Mar 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In line with what hon. T.J. Kajwang has just said, the Clerk has no discretion at all under our laws - whether the Constitution or our Standing Orders - to come up with rules of procedure which are not view
