• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you read Article 261(2) of the Constitution, it says:- view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: “Despite clause (1), the National Assembly may, by resolution supported by the votes of at least two-thirds of all the members of the National Assembly, extend the period prescribed in respect of any particular matter under clause (1), by a period not exceeding one year.” view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, clearly the drafters of this Constitution anticipated that at any given time, this House would only be called upon to legislate or to pass a Motion to extend time of one particular matter and not two Bills lumped into one; guillotined into one to mischievously ask this matter to take a collective decision on two Bills on which we could take decisions differently! view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would urge that the Chair finds that the Government has acted out of the Constitution by bringing this Motion the way it is in its current form and ask them to go and split the request of these two Bills to come independently, especially given that these Bills were brought to this House on different occasions. The County Government Bill was brought on a different day, we debated it, passed it to the President for assent, but for some reasons, the President has referred back the Bill with a memorandum asking us to perform ... view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the last point that I made was that these two Bills were actually brought on separate occasions. Actually, we are even at different levels of transacting the two Bills. So, we could make a decision on whether to extend time for each differently.

• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the hon. Minister in order to misunderstand me and then purport to claim that I have understood it in a narrow manner? I have exactly--- view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Minister to say that I am discussing the two Bills, while I am talking about the extension of time? I am saying that it is unconstitutional for the Government to ask us to extend time for the Bills in one Motion. He is not addressing that! view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, actually it is true Mr. Orengo came to Parliament for the first when I was in class one. So, he is my senior. But is it in order for him to imply that if there was an error which was committed during the Land Bills, we should continue with it, especially if the hon. Member for Gwassi can dutifully explain to this House that this Motion be split into two? view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Minister for Lands imply that I do not have good manners when I have just given an interpretation of the Constitution the way I understand it? That does not mean that if I did not understand it yesterday that way, if I understand it differently today, I would be gagged from explaining that. I believe that Mr. Orengo has been a champion of human rights, especially freedom of speech and expression. view
