• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: This is a very minor amendment. It is intended, when amended, to read:- “(d) it has demonstrated that members of its governing body meet the requirement of Chapter 6”. It is really changing the singular for the plural in that particular sub-clause. It is fairly typographical. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Sir, I oppose the amendment proposed by the Committee. It will be a serious breach of the Constitution of Kenyan for us to abolish coalitions in the way the Committee has proposed. In its definition of “Majority Leader”, the Constitution recognises that the Majority Leader could be a leader of a political party or a leader of a coalition of parties. So, the very idea of coalitions is embedded in our own Constitution. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have fought very hard in this country for both human rights and political rights.

• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 10 and substituting therefor the following new clause – view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not have to say much in moving this amendment. That is because the argument is exactly what you have gone through with regard to the previous amendment that was defeated. There is a need for coalitions both before and after elections. It should be left to the political parties to decide on whether they want to be together in a coalition before or after an election. That is perfectly allowed by the new Constitution. I beg to move. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in light of the extensive amendments being proposed by the Committee, I would like to withdraw my amendment. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, again, I have looked at the Committee’s amendment and it is more comprehensive than the amendment being proposed by the Minister. I, therefore, wish to withdraw the amendment, so that we proceed with the Committee’s amendment. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move that the Committee doth report its progress to the House and seek leave to sit again another day. view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. l do not see the confusion that the hon. Member is talking about because Section 20 of the Constitution that he is referring to relates to transitional provisions. We have already passed that as far as the Judicial Service Commission is concerned because it has already been appointed. So, Section 20 no longer applies. All the appointments are to be under Section 171. Therefore, there is no conflict because we have already moved away from Section 20. view
