• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: things can still work. Especially to the Member for Suba North, I am sure she is not going to stand as an independent. But, she must be vigilant to create some space for herself. There is no politician who wants to close himself. Which cat would want to have a house without a window? We will just be less than wise if we were to do anything like that. So, Member for Suba North, I know you have a direct ticket in your hand or somewhere in your purse. But, if something happens – because something can happen – you ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the question will be, what are you going to dispute over when a gazette notice has gone and it is final? So, they are urging us to say that we will have 72 hours from the time of registration of all the aspirants instead of the 48 hours provided. This legislation is safe. In any case, this is Second Reading. Let us debate it with robustness that we can. Let us all come to the Committee of the Whole House stage. I want to urge Members to proffer as many of their proposed amendments as they ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: come up with a legislation that will be passed by the Senate without mediation. That is where we can have a problem. It can be held there for a long time, and yet this process must go on. I want to thank you for the opportunity to second this Bill. I thank the Leader of the Majority for the services of his office. You provided us with a very competent legal young man I have never seen. I did not know that there are so many young men in this campus that are so sharp. Thank you. From the office ... view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Good morning, Hon. Speaker. We are all excited to have you presiding over this Sitting. The Member for Garissa Township, Hon. Duale, has raised a pertinent issue and is requesting for your direction. Even as you think through the matter to give direction on it, may I add that a few things happened on that day that are important to note. When you retire and look at the Hansard, you will see that it is true that Hon. Alice Wahome’s amendments were negatived. I am speaking as the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee that was prosecuting those amendments. She was seeking ... view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Therefore, I understand where Hon. Duale finds himself. The Question he would want to put through is how to clap back and open a vote that the House has taken on an issue. As you know, the House decides on an issue through a vote. Procedurally, one or two things are bound to happen or not happen but once the House has taken a decision on something, especially when a Division has been taken on an issue, you will want to think through on how you want to go back to it. view

• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: 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
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Murugara, I am sure the Speaker will recognise your presence. view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Immediately after that happened, a section of Members decided to leave the Chamber in the middle of a Division. As far as Standing Order No.107 is concerned, that is gross disorder. They somehow managed to overwhelm the Serjeant-at-Arms, drew the bars, opened the door and left the Chamber. After that, a lot of procedures were taken. Procedurally, the Committee’s progress was reported to the House and votes were taken. They were not votes by a section of people but by the whole House and we had dissentions, the Noes and the Ayes. view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, other than what Hon. Duale has said, you need to reflect on how then the Speaker would be able to go back to a matter on which decisions had been validly taken by the House. That should be guided by the fact that the decisions of the House are valid. The Constitution says that the decisions are valid, notwithstanding infractions of procedure. I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
