• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: The amendments? view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Sorry, hon. Members, I took over this Motion in the middle of the debate. I am trying to understand the amendment and whether it is going by the spirit of the original Motion or it is negating the original Motion. Mr. Poghisio, could you raise your point of order again? view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Let him finish with the amendment then you can raise your point of order. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, for purposes of amendments to Motions, Standing Order No.41 is very clear. It says that the Speaker may permit a Member to move in an amended form a Motion of which notice has been given if, in the opinion of the Speaker, the amendment does not materially alter any principle embodied in it. The kind of amendment that has been suggested may actually require redrafting of the Motion itself, because it changes the meaning of the original Motion completely, so that we will be debating something different from what the original Mover had. For that reason, we will ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Dr. Eseli, that is not the argument at this stage. The argument we have is how to get your amendment introduced in this Motion the way it is. Maybe, the Mover did not take care of something; so, it needs to be redrafted, in which case we may allow her to redraft the Motion and bring it back. The amendment itself is changing the substance of the original Motion. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Member, can you stick to your point of order. Do not debate at this stage. Just tell us exactly where you are having a problem. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, unless we are reading from different scripts the Motion that is before us reads like this:- THAT, this House do grant leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament to amend Section 45 of the Constitution of Kenya to provide for gender parity, regional balance and inclusion of person other than Members of Parliament in the Parliamentary Service Commission and for matters incidental thereto and connected therewith. That is the version that is on the Order Paper today. The Mover of the amendment has asked us to delete something that does not exist in the current ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Sorry! Sorry! Thank you for the point of order. The correct procedure will be to proceed and allow hon. Members to either accept or reject the Motion. The Mover has to decide, if it is rejected, what to do with it. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, we are now moving to the Development Vote. VOTE D30 - DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE SUB-VOTE 300 - GENERAL ADMINISTRATION AND PLANNING view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Ms. Abdalla, at the stage which we have reached, we cannot actually suspend it. I think the heat we had initially was that we were reading two different Motions and the introduction of an amendment that came from an older script. That is what we have just discovered. There was a script that had words to be deleted. I think currently, let us allow the debate and if it carries the day, fine, and if it does not, then the Mover will just note the concerns and then re-introduce it. At this stage, we cannot withdraw it. Proceed, Mr. Kioni! view
