• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Muthama continues in an acting capacity, because that side of the Grand Coalition has not been able to sort out that matter. Indeed, I hope that one of these days it will be sorted out, but he continues as the acting Chip Whip. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in all seriousness, indeed, it should be so. Therefore, we are going to quickly consult and report back to the House. Indications seem to point that her neighbour could take her place. But, apparently, we need to consult, so that we can come up with a lady of Member of Parliament to join the Kenyan PAP delegation. This is a critical Pan-African body. view

• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir, tomorrow could me the next Sitting Day. That is parliamentary language. I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 20(2), this House resolves that the Sitting time of the House today, Wednesday, December 22, 2010, Afternoon Sitting be extended until the Business as set out in the Order Paper is concluded.

• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is clear that because of the decision you have taken with regard to Order No.8, I have no doubt that since we are actually dealing with the approval of names, we view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was not my decision but the decision of the House Business Committee that this Motion be presented today. Strictly speaking, to that extent, it becomes Government business. Therefore, this is very clear in my mind. So, we have no problem. I said that with regard to re-ordering I would have no problem, but the decision of the House Business Committee was very firm that this Motion appears on the Order Paper today. Everybody knew that today afternoon is not a day for Private Members’ Motions when this decision was taken. Therefore, it qualifies as Government business. view

Please, if you look at the Supplementary Order Paper itself and I want to urge that we be cool headed about it, you will see there are asterisks against order No.12. In fact, from Order Nos.8,9,10,11 and 12. If you look at what that means, actually, the asterisks denote Government Orders of the Day. Therefore, from the point of the House Business Committee, this Motion is Government business. view

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for bringing that to my attention. What I was saying basically is that the House Business Committee is subject to this House. In the convenience of the House, if the Member thinks he can reorder the Order Paper, we have no problem. view
