• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairman for moving that Motion, and in seconding it, I would want to indicate that for all of us who are listening and observing--- There are a lot of Kenyans who are calling for more time for debating this critical issue. If you see the post-election violence report, one of the issues that is raised as an underlying factor for the conflict is land. Even though we are mindful of the constitutional timeframe, we want to indicate that as the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) we were not responsible for the lapse of ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just before we went on recess, Members raised concern that the Executive had not prioritized constitutional Bills; we raised this concern more than one time. We do not want to make the mistakes we have made before. If there are issues in these Bills, we must have time to look at them carefully. Whether they are serious issues or not, the Constitution now enshrines the principle of the participation of the people, and we must, therefore, give Kenyans ample time to debate this matter. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am not very convinced because if you look at the Bill, the President shall be the chairperson but it is indicated in the Bill that the deputy shall be sitting for the President so which is what likely to be. The President is likely not to be sitting. So, in essence, we are saying that there is going to be only one person. So I am really not convinced with that amendment. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have listened to the hon. Member carefully, and the import of this amendment is to subject decisions by the National Assembly to the Senate and then to the Summit. In essence, what it does, in my understanding, is to make the Senate a senior House. These are some of the things that we are trying to avoid – we should not set up a clash when it is not necessary. So, I would want to encourage my brother that let us not set clashes because even when we were doing this in Naivasha, we ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. In essence, Dr. Khalwale has withdrawn his amendment and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government is moving an amendment, just changing the word “may” to “shall”. Dr. Khalwale has withdrawn his amendment. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, could I, please, request the Minister if he could consider doing a further amendment and making it “vice-chair” considering gender balance for chair and vice-chair. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: No! view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am not bothered about Mr. Orengo; I defend a group of people here called the civil society and they are not busybodies. They produced a brilliant woman like me. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, perhaps we can benefit from the wisdom of a lawyer of more years. I would love it if hon. Orengo could listen. I wonder whether it is suitable for a county government to be a body corporate. If so, is the National government a body corporate? view
