• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Chair, I request your guidance on this. I had an amendment to Clause 31 which I dropped in favour of the Chair. I am between a hard place and a hard rock, because whereas the Chair has taken over my Clause 31, and I appreciate he has taken my Clause 31 (c), but it is sandwiched between something very good and very bad. The decision which we will take on this later one, may affect the decision that was taken on mine. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Just follow my logic. If, for example, we go to the Bill, and if Members choose to drop the Bill itself, it will also go with mine, although I have no problem because the parent Act does not put tax on confectionaries. So, I want to advise Members to look at everything that is here because we do not want to take some good part of it and carry a good baby with the dirty birth water. This what we are trying to do and so give us directions as to how we need to proceed with voting in such ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Members should now be attentive because we have begun the problems that we were talking about in our Second Reading. Those of us who are still consulting can do so but we are talking about issues that will haunt us. I have anxiously checked the amendments by the Leader of the Majority Party. We had discussed some of them during the Second Reading. The amendments proposed by the Leader of the Majority Party in terms of the National Housing Development Fund are very weighty. They are in Clauses 7, 65 and 68. I want us to ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg for your direction because the kind of amendments that the Leader of the Majority Party has proposed in Clauses 7, 65 and 68 appear to be squarely the amendments in Clause 114. I want to know whether this amendment was subjected to public participation because it is important. If it was, my people and the ones in Kibera would have been called. The Speaker ruled that several amendments which are not subject to Clause 114 cannot be prosecuted. Can we know if this amendment by the Leader of the Majority Party was subjected to ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we appreciate how you are progressing, that is, in a good direction. However, the most important thing in the Chamber is to understand where we are going. We understood Hon. Katoo’s amendment perfectly well. A problem arose in what the Member for Seme raised, that is, the question about the spouse. You see, the way this particular amendment is structured and the way Hon. Keynan’s amendment is structured, plus the wording, “a motor vehicle of a spouse”, they have not specified the motor vehicle. It could be a minibus, a lorry or anything like that. So, ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let us be careful here. It is good to tell Members that the Member for Ruaraka has an amendment. He is rising because he has an amendment which he preferred. It is important to tell Members. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: First of all, protect me from Hon. Kangogo. On page 1031 of the Supplementary Order, Hon. Kajwang’, Member for Ruaraka, has an amendment which is the same as what the Chair is proposing. According to the Standing Orders, I have a right to be heard first because when that amendment passes or it does not pass, it affects my amendment. So, protect me first of all! I am not being favoured. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: First of all, I support the Chair on the amendments on confectionary for the reasons that he has stated. He is a very competent Chair and when I see a competent chair, I do not have useful comments to add. But I have a problem and I want to let Members know. There is the bit on money transfer. I know that a lot of discussion has gone on, on the Second Reading and right now about transfers between spouse or child or that kind of thing. The only thing you need to know is that if this amendment of ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: But I beg to support. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: No! What have you done? What have you done? We have lost it! view
