• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Why is the Member for Kikuyu not allowing us the opportunity and the fun to vote his amendment down? Why is he withdrawing? We are waiting to transact business. view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, even as the Member for Kikuyu is talking about chemistry, he should know that there is something called isotopes. In other words, you could be chemically the same but different at the same time. When everybody says “put the Question”, we do not understand some of the procedures and rules of this House. Some of us who are not spending a lot of time in the Third Reading should know that this is where you can also contribute and have your Bill understood. So, this thing about ‘put the Question’, if your constituents were watching you, ... view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Wives will now pay 10 per cent, for example, more than what they were doing. In other words, there will be pressure at home. You will not be surprised if there will be very messy divorce cases because of the pressure we are going to see. We now ask the Chair… view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Leader of Minority Party knows that it escaped you. While we were talking about minimum tax, in the subsequent schedule, there was wives and a percentage of taxation on wife’s employment. So, you did not know but for you who is earning and your wife is also earning, you will see that the net income that you were supposed to bring home will reduce because your wife will be taxed more. view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: The Member for Homa Bay Town tells me that sometimes we do not see the women’s income. When they are taxed and even if you do not see the money, they spend it on issues that if you were meant to meet, with the tax relief we are talking about, the disposable sum in your hands would have not been there if the woman was not taxed. What I am saying so that we end this debate is that this is a good thing. But the Chair of the Committee, instead of raising your hand on a point of order, ... view
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker view
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am rising to ask if it would be in order for the Mover of this Motion to be called upon to respond. This Report has been with us and the Committee has considered it anxiously. It has been explained fairly well by the Leader of the Majority Party. You know the Leader of the Majority was in office when this Report began. I do not think there is any authority other than him being able to explain it to us as it is. You know it was hard to believe him when he was in office. This ... view
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this thing about quorum is the easiest way when a Member wants to either get this House to move in a certain manner or even for filibustering. It is an old concept that we now know very well. When Members want the House to skip certain business, they raise a quorum issue. However, quorum, according to the Constitution and Standing Orders, is only as necessary as when the Speaker puts the Question. We cannot stop the business of this House because we are 49 people. Business is transacted when the Question is put. We have previously passed a ... view
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: home will not help us pass businesses unless we are able to take these things head on. I think that is a flippant thing. Let us continue with the business before us. view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you for recognising me. I have looked at this Report for some time now. As you know, it has been before us for a while. I have also looked at the amendment by the Member for Homa Bay which has also been with us for some time. Today, I have seen the amendment that is proposed by the Chairman of the PIC. You know that in this House, I stand for procedure and for administrative law to take place. Sometimes The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
