• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that the Government cannot fight insecurity just by mere force of the gun. Instead of over-emphasizing on patrols and police use of guns, can the Government employ more of intelligence gathering network? Five people dying in a night in one area, to me, is too much for a country. Why can the Government not invest more on intelligence gathering network to ensure that these things are pre-empted before they occur? Finally, I wanted to ask the Assistant Minister if he can rule out police involvement in some of these murders, especially in the ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The question by hon. George Nyamweya was very specific. It was on policy. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that consideration by his Ministry. I want to thank him also for taking his work seriously. This is one of the Assistant Ministers who really work hard although sometimes he gives us promises about vehicles which we never receive. However, at least, he takes his work seriously and I thank him for considering these young poor Kenyans. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.108, which requires that except by the leave of the House, not more than one stage of a Bill can be taken at any one Sitting. I am aware that a number of my colleagues would stand with me to deny the proceedings on this Bill the requisite leave of the House. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to read out the entire Standing Order, which says as follows:- “108. Except with the leave of the House, not more than one stage of a Bill may be taken at any one sitting: Provided that this Standing Order shall not apply to or in respect of any Appropriation Bill or Consolidated Fund Bill.” view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you go to Standing Order No.107, you will appreciate that what is before us is not an Appropriation Bill, but a Supplementary Appropriation Bill. In fact, under Standing Order No.107, the distinction between an Appropriation Bill and a Supplementary Appropriation Bill is very clear. So, I have stood to raise this point of order, knowing very well that this is not just an Appropriation Bill, but a Supplementary Appropriation Bill. With your permission, I can read out Standing Order No.107, so that what I mean can be very clear to this House. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have read out Standing Order No.108, but I can repeat it. The proviso says: “Provided that the Standing Order shall not apply to or in respect of any Appropriation Bill or Consolidated Fund Bill.” view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to read out Standing Order No.107, which gives a distinction between a Consolidated Fund Bill, Appropriation Bill and a Supplementary Appropriation Bill. These three Bills are totally distinct. Standing Order No.107 reads as follows:- “107. No Bill shall be introduced unless such Bill together with the memorandum referred to in Standing Order No.106 (Memorandum of objects and reasons), has been published in the Gazette (as a Bill to be originated in the House), and unless, in the case of a Consolidated Fund Bill, an Appropriation Bill or a Supplementary Appropriation Bill, a ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: So, what I am saying is that these Bills, namely the Consolidated Fund Bill, the Appropriation Bill and the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, are distinct. What are exempted under Standing Order No.108 by the proviso are only the Consolidated Fund Bill and the Appropriation Bill. So, the Supplementary Appropriation Bill is not exempted. Therefore, the leave of this House is necessary before we proceed. view
