• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I have loved the debate that hon. Members have displayed on the Floor but we have ventilated this issue for quite some time now. This is particularly the amendment that my sister has brought before the House. Could I be in order to request that the Mover be called upon to respond on the issue only limited to the amendment that is before the House because some of us are very eager to debate the real issue? If we go this direction, we will not give the entire report a service. Some ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I rise to support in half. view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Clause 6(1) in itself is good law because the Constitution anticipates that there will be dispute resolution and an Act of Parliament really can regulate that organs would first of all look for all dispute settlements mechanisms before they approach a court of law. It is reasonable. So, to that extent I am inclined to support my sister, hon. Kajuju on this matter but again subsection 2 and 3 of the Clause is actually unlawful and unconstitutional. The Constitution itself has allowed the organs to be able to interface and the Inter-governmental Relations Act itself has also allowed further the ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, this is one of those rare occasions that I find myself in the same wavelength with the Leader of Majority Party. The amendment that is proposed is not in keeping with the legislative practice in the Commonwealth. The content of the Act itself is the enactment. The memorandum is a justification. It is an explanation of the enactment but what turns out to be law is the content itself in the Bill. It would be contrary to drafting procedure that you find a memorandum being part of the Bill because it does not in any way cause any ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Unfortunately, the Leader of Majority Party is right on this. I hate to say so. This is about legislative practice. It is about how to structure bills and view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: As a legislative practitioner, this will be the first time I will see a bill in which part of it will be a memorandum. When this Bill is now turned into an Act of Parliament, all those things we are seeing will disappear and all we will see is the content of the bill which is the practice in all Commonwealth jurisdictions view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Chairlady. I want to contribute to this amendment brought by the Leader of Majority Party. My contribution is very specific and brief. Looking at the table which appears on page3, the only question I ask the Leader of the Majority Party is; where is development money that is going to counties so that counties can do their programmes? All we are seeing here are administration costs, payment of salaries and recurrent expenditure. What people are looking for is the money that these people are going to use to develop their counties. This is what we are trying to ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Chairlady. Today, it seems to be my bad day that I am rising a lot. May I bring the attention of the House to the amendment that was brought by hon. Aden Duale in which there was a schedule and in that schedule hon. Duale amended what was originally before the House. What was before the House, if you look at page 4 of the Revenue Bill, was unconditional allocations. By the amendment that was proposed by hon. Duale, that provision disappeared. When my learned friend attempts to define “unconditional allocations’ is it in ... view
