• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT this House do now adjourn until Tuesday, 7th October, 2008. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, traditionally, the House goes on recess around this time to the beginning of October to enable the Committees of this House to concentrate on their work, to enable hon. Members to pay more attention to their constituency work and also to enable other Government businesses to go on in the offices. The adjournment Motion was agreed upon by the House Business Committee and it is in line with the calender. In fact, we were scheduled to rise ... view
• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member, who also doubles up also as a bull-fighter, to mislead the House that I am the one who personally needs the adjournment? I clearly said, when moving this Motion that this recess is traditional. It falls within our calender and it is up to hon. Members to decide. Is he in order to personalise debate? He should go and do bull fighting! view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very grateful for your guidance and I would like to seek further guidance. When a Member of Parliament is convinced, or lobbied from outside, whether by their constituents or the larger national constituency, it is incumbent upon that hon. Member to adopt those views as his or hers and then present them and move amendments. Otherwise, amendments can never be moved by those we represent. We are here as national representatives of a constituency called Kenya and secondly of each person's constituency. Is it, therefore, in order for my colleague to propose to move ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I notice there is a typographical error on the Order Paper which lists the Bill as No.12. I wish to say it for purposes of record that the Bill I am moving is Bill No.14. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was enumerating part 3 Clause 21; what the Committee of experts shall do. I had indicated that they will identify the issues already agreed upon in the existing draft, that is the Wako Draft and the Bomas Draft. It also identifies issues which are contentious or not agreed upon. It indicates how it will solicit and ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Committee shall also carry out studies, researches and evaluation concerning the Constitution and other constitutions and constitutional systems. 2406 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 6, 2008 Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if I may pose here, it is widely recognised that the people of Kenya having given their views on the issues they would like included in the Constitution, the disagreement that arose during the last process makes us require as a nation, expert advice on how to resolve those issues. We can then make up our mind on which mode we want to follow. That is why ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. May I begin by profusely thanking the hon. Members for their valuable contributions and for the support they have given to this negotiated Bill. I am actually touched and I know Kenyans are going to have a renewal in their faith in Parliament being able to give them a new Constitution. When we passed the National Accord and Reconciliation Act and the Constitutional amendment thereof, we all committed ourselves and became party to the agreements signed by our principals. The real promise to Kenyans was to deliver a new Constitution and institution to them. ... view
