• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and say that as you said earlier in your intervention, it is obvious that the primary role of any Parliament including the Kenya Parliament, which consists of both the Senate and the National Assembly, is to enact legislation. In the course of performing that role, Parliament can also amend and repeal the existing laws. So, even though the Rome Statute has been domesticated, Parliament has the powers to repeal the Act. Therefore, I can confirm that what we are doing on the Floor of this House this afternoon is within the ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: a state, you can withdraw at any time. You do not have to give any justification or any reason for doing so. Another reason that has been cited here is that the ICC only targets African leaders. The ICC is least known outside Africa. It is a neo-colonialism institution that peddles the western agenda. The western nations seek to control African politics through ICC investigations. This is a point which has been made by one of my colleagues. I just want to emphasise it. There have been many situations where the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC received allegations ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Even though I fully support the Procedural Motion, I just need clarity. If you look at the Order Paper, and specifically the numbering of the Motions, Order No.14 is repeated; I am sure the Leader of Majority Party was referring to the last one which should be Order No.16. So, just for record purposes, I think the Microfinance (Amendment) Bill should be Order No.16 and not Order No.14. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Chairman. Mine is also to plead with hon. Gichigi that for two reasons, let him not move that amendment because if it gets defeated, then it will have to wait for more than six months to be discussed again. Secondly, it will even be an exercise in futility because it will not be put into question because we do not have the required number. So, he should even withdraw it. He should not even move it in the first place. Maybe, we can address his thinking in other ways when we come back if at all, ... view

Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.28, I beg to move the following Motion:- 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
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 28, this House adjourns until Tuesday, 17th September, 2013, in accordance with the Calendar of the Assembly (Regular Sessions). view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hon. Members of this House for the manner in which they have executed this afternoon’s business – in unison, with togetherness and in sobriety for purposes of serving Kenyans. Therefore, I would like to request my colleagues that once we proceed on recess, we cultivate and nurture a spirit of togetherness. There will be need for us to even visit one another in our respective constituencies to build one Kenya. I am encouraged by what we have done this afternoon. It is my wish that when we ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to explain why I have moved the Motion in this amended form. It is because we have already exhausted about a week of our recess period. We were to go on recess last Thursday. So, we have already eaten into the recess period. Most importantly, this afternoon, there was a Communication from the Chair to the effect that from 8th - 12th September, 2013, we will have an induction workshop for the National Assembly. So, it is good that we cover for the lost days, go for the four-day induction workshop and come back on 17th September, ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to move and request the Leader of Majority Party to second the Motion. view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second and support this Motion. I want to pick from where my good friend, hon. Mbadi has left on the issue of the whips being able to whip the required number – 233 Members. That is the number that is required for the Question to be put and all must be in support of it for it to go through. view
