• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Committee. I do not think that I can recommend that action at this stage. This is because--- view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Haraka haraka haina baraka. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will answer my good friend straightaway and tell him that the formula was: Six from the PNU Alliance and five from ODM. That is what the whips had agreed. They may probably want to meet and disagree again, because everything is possible. But that was the configuration. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member for Isiolo South did, of course, talk about the ad view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Committee bit. The Member for Mosop wants to know under what Standing Order we went in for reconstitution. I want to say that we did not have to follow any Standing Order in this matter, and I hope I am correct. We just had to look at the politics surrounding this whole matter. Of course, if one was to follow strictly the very straight Standing Order No.175, that is what would govern the conduct of the Committee once their Chairman resigned. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to hon. Midiwo - who is a Member of the Committee--- I said I wish he was trying to help me rather than complicate my life. But, obviously, we do need to align the Standing Orders with the provisions of the new Constitution. That is a matter that we cannot deal with at this particular point. But I think all of us have taken note of that. We are all committed to our new Constitution. I think that as we prepare--- view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can take that information. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last bit was expected because he had to put in a punch. But I thank the Member for Central Imenti and I am sure that the hon. Midiwo will also have been educated. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding whether we are aware that ODM withdrew its membership, it is common knowledge that, that actually did happen. In fact, the Joint Chief Whip was able to do that. That is a matter that is clean and I think he is quoting now the authority of the Political Parties Act. I do not know whether it has come into effect yet, but I suspect that it has not. So, these are some of the things that have complicated the workings of that Committee. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, of course, hon. Shebesh dealt with the same issue on whether we have precedence with regard to political parties withdrawing their membership. The Member for Kigumo wants to know where our Committee gets its authority to disband the committee. He used the word “disbanding,” but the word that I used in my Statement is “reconstitution,” which might be “give and take”, probably, the same issue. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Wamalwa, who is a Member of that Committee, wants us to advise this House as to what exactly happened following the direction to the Liaison Committee. Of course, what I do remember vaguely is that when the Liaison Committee met, at that level, they had issues even between themselves. Regarding the proposed election, all we know is that there was no election. view
