• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to wish every hon. Member a happy new year. Also, those who had birthdays, I wish them belated birthdays. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I want to say that when we passed the new Constitution, one of the things that we did not foresee is the effect of the increased numbers on House procedures. I want to urge that, as a matter of urgency, the House Rules Committee needs to re-look at our Standing Orders. I am saying that because this is a House of debate and records. I am actually horrified when I hear hon. Members say that we can speak for five or three minutes and everybody will hear. I am equally horrified when I hear hon. Members tell you that you ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: to expand the time so that every hon. Member who wants to speak can speak as much as the time allows. Indeed, for those of us who served in the last Parliament, ten minutes is actually enough when you are contributing to a substantive issue. If you ask members of the public out here, they are saying that the standards of debate in the house have gone terribly low because there is no time to say anything substantive. Even if you have researched and you have very serious issues, sometimes you cannot say anything serious in three minutes. Therefore, I ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Now that the hon. Member has clarified that he is contributing, I would want to ask if he is in order to mislead the House. I did not say that the only people who keep speaking are the ones who should speak. I have actually been very categorical that even the Members who do not speak - and I always hear Members complaining--- In fact, yesterday, while people were talking here, a Member who was sitting next to me told me to, please, come and ask you if you can give him a chance to speak ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have been seeing you even shying from being categorical on what ranking is. If we want to depart from that procedure, let us depart through written procedures. On ranking, that is a practice in all parliamentary systems that we have copied, that is why we have hon. A.B. Duale speaking all the time and that is why other The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Members are asked why they are not speaking like hon. A.B. Duale. However, this is because he has that ranking and the other leader who is our Minority Leader has that ranking. However, once you leave those officials, the other pecking order is in order of when you joined Parliament. Mbadi joined Parliament ahead of me. Yes, that is the practice. I want to be very categorical that that is parliamentary practice. It is not Millie who has established that and if we want to depart from it, we can only depart by a conscious amendment of our procedure where ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, whereas I understand the import of hon. Irungu’s proposed amendment, I think he has brought a very good amendment in the wrong Bill. The Bill that he should have brought it under should be the one that deals with universities. I think we passed it early this year because it gives that sole responsibility for education and higher institutions to do that. There is a body that is set to do what he is saying. So, I would have supported him but it is actually in the wrong Bill. So, I would encourage him to bring ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady for giving this opportunity. I have a big issue of concern.

You gave Members two interventions which were not contributions. Then you went ahead and--- view
