A workable suggestion which we are taking seriously to the Clerk’s office is that usually we receive a compendium from the Ministry because they have the drafting instructions analysing the Bill. We probably should create a directory of all Members by way of e-mail so that this information can go much earlier so that Members can be able to use it and compare it with the Bill which is coming before the House. Thereafter, the memorandum will now The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ...

be a simple analysis of clauses by clauses which are coming from there or a policy objective of the Bill. We are taking it seriously and we will see how we can go in that direction.

Thank you Prof. Nyikal. Can we go to hon. Kobado?

Thank you. You are a classical example of a legislature who takes time to study and research on matters. Yes, hon. Mbadi Ng’ongo.

I am informed that in the tribe you come from, Ng’ongo means “humongous” and so I know even if we gave you more time you would still speak because you have humongous knowledge on these things. However, you may have not looked at the Paper which was laid by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee.

I agree with you hon. Odhiambo-Mabona. The reason I brought it up was because many of you had put in requests much longer but now if you understand, it is because every Member is taking ten minutes.

So that I do not take your time, can we have hon. Ottichilo?

Well that sounds a very plausible and exciting proposition but as you know the way the Standing Orders are, we handle Members when they walk in on the sitting day or the allotted day. So, the only list that we are able to carry is for those Members who have spoken so that they do not speak twice.
