• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Pursuant to Standing Order No.48, I beg to move this Motion in an amended form. This amendment is to replace “140” with “182”. This is about 182 constituencies whose nominees have been approved by the Board and, equally, the Committee which I chair. We are now seeking the approval of this House. With those remarks, I beg to move and request the Vice-Chair to second. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to support the position of the Committee. This sub-section is very necessary. I am opposing Hon. Emanikor for exactly the reason that the Chairman of the Committee has given. This sub-clause is necessary where there is no response on bids, or where the bids do not meet the minimum requirements. Therefore, I oppose the amendment. view

• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I just want to clarify to Members that the matter of CDF regulations is work in progress. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Yes. That is what I am saying. This House and specifically the Committee on Delegated Legislation has finalised them and has successfully approved and forwarded to the CDF Board who have now sent them to the Attorney-General for gazettement. The process on the other side of Government is that all regulations for gazettement must be processed through the Attorney-General. So, it is just on transit to the Government Printer for that gazettement. I am very optimistic that the issue of gazettement should happen this week. Thank you. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yes, I accept the offer by Hon. Duale, the Leader of the Majority Party, to take up the matter with the Attorney-General. For purpose of information and specifically to Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, this House has already approved the regulations through the Committee on Delegated Legislation led by Hon. Cheptumo. For that matter, the regulations are not coming to this House. This House has already approved. Hon. Speaker, on the other issue, I want to assure Members of Parliament that they will find me in the 12th Parliament. I will be here as the Leader of the ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I sympathise with Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. I know that he would have gone for the Governor’s seat in Siaya County if he had a degree. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended— (a) in paragraph (h) by deleting the words “deliberate on and resolve issues of concern to the people as provided for under Article 95(2) of the Constitution” and substituting therefor the words “exercise oversight over the performance of specified national government functions at the constituency level as provided for under Article 95 of the Constitution.” (b) by deleting paragraph (k); (c) by inserting the following new paragraphs immediately after paragraph (l)— (m) provide a framework for citizens-led development to assist the national ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: This amendment seeks to clarify that the National Assembly is involved in oversight functions. It also seeks to affirm that the role of the Member of the National Assembly is to oversee the management of the Fund. It is basically a minor amendment. I thank you. 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
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (1) by deleting the words “with the concurrence of” and substituting therefor the words “with the approval of”. This amendment is basically to delete where we are saying “with the concurrence of” to make it “with the approval of.” It is just a bit of semantics and it is a simple amendment. view
