I do not want to subject this to a lot of debate but I am seeing interventions and I can guess that they are related to the discussions of the two Members. So, I will propose the Question very quickly to see if we have a consensus on it to be able to move.

Yes, I would until I saw the lady who described herself as my senior. Member for Mbita, what is the problem?

I hear you. Since I do not see more interventions does that mean that there is a consensus? Yes, Member for Kasipul Kabondo. I am reading “Kaspul” and not “Kasipul”. That is what I am reading. Okay, you may proceed.

13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Well, that is what I am reading. Proceed, please.

Thank you. I hear you. That is why you see that the Speaker’s Chair is neutral about these things. It is your House to debate and it is you who has brought that Motion. So, you need to find out whether you want to have more time or you want to have more people to contribute to a specific thing, but we also have legislation to drive in this House. We want to try and see if we can have as many Members participating as possible but I hear you. Member for Kandara, today it is Kandara Constituency.

Well, to let you know I have 11 requests. Hon. Members, we do not want to take long in this debate. The thing is this: The Chair is really trying to balance your concern that as many people as possible should be able to speak and you know you only have 24 hours. God did not create more than 24 hours and you are 349 in this House although the Member for Mbita said that God did not ordain that it is you who must pass all the Bills. You may resume your seat the Member for Kandara.

It is not possible. You see the awkward position you have put the Chair in! You want more of you to speak but also you do not want the time to be limited. There is no way the hon. Speaker can gag anybody here.

13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Fair enough, it has been proposed, seconded and the Question has been proposed. I will put the Question when the upcoming Secretary-General of the ODM shall have sat down. Order!

13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Fair enough. That is your decision. We will live with it. Hon. John Waiganjo, the Member for Ol Jorok.
