• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: You see what is confusing me is that the Leader of the Majority Party has an amendment and yet the Bill itself prefers a deletion. It is the Bill that should have taken precedence. If we go by the Bill, then there will be nothing for any of us to amend unless I am mistaken. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I see. Hon. Millie Odhiambo intends to amend the deletion meaning that we then go to the parent Act. So, I withdraw, but even when I withdraw, it is the Bill that should take precedence over the Leader of the Majority Party because if then the Bill proposes to delete, there will be nothing for the Leader of the Majority Party to amend. That is the way I look at it. For the purposes of the record, I withdraw. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I think this is where we were and we made the same mistake on Section 28. The Bill is proposing to delete Section 28 in the parent Act. If then the Bill itself were to take precedence, then there will be nothing for the Leader of the Majority Party to amend. That is the point. The text in the Order Paper is not to amend and substitute. It is just to change the word “Commission” as though the Bill has not deleted. We are at Section 29. We get into trouble with procedure. The point is this… view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: There are three sets to this thing. There is the Bill itself, a proposal by Millie and a proposal by the Leader of the Majority Party. All of them are on Section 29. Millie has withdrawn her proposal. Let me clear this. I was on a point of order. Millie has withdrawn her amendment. The two amendments are the Bill itself and what the Leader of the Majority Party intends to do. We need to clarify who has precedence. The Bill would have been deleted and there would have been nothing for the Leader of the Majority Party to amend. ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is where we are. We could go the way the Leader of the Majority Party is proposing. I have the Act. I have opened it. We can go the way of the Leader of the Majority Party and vote on his amendment. His amendment seeks to replace the word “Commission”. I see it here. We would have changed it. We would have gone back to the Bill itself which proposes deletion of all the amendments including Hon. Duale’s amendment. That is the point I am making. There is a deletion in the Bill. Nobody is ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: We are 349 Members and only 10 people are in the Chamber. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I withdraw the proposed amendment. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, she is in a different position from us. She is the Chair of a Committee. Therefore, this thing belongs to us as a House. We need to investigate the reasons for which she is withdrawing. As far as I can see, the environmental and land court are the high courts. So, if you withdraw, what are you saying because this amendment was to give jurisdiction to the environment and land court? I hope she is not being intimidated by the Leader of the Majority to withdraw without seeing the justification of that withdrawal. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, she could be the owner of the amendment but she cannot mislead the Assembly. Is it in order that the Chair of the Committee should mislead the House to suggest that she was dealing with issues to do with county governments when it is clear in the Bill, Page 340, at the bottom of the page… view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: No. There is no mention of the county jurisdiction or anything to do with what the Chair has said. Is she in order to mislead the Assembly? Apart from the part that she is withdrawing, is she in order to mislead us? As far as I can see, all this amendment was to do was to confer jurisdiction on the Environmental and Land Court. Is it in order to mislead the Assembly with all that information? view
