• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I raised that point to remind us of our solemn duty as lawmakers that legislation should never be rushed. I thank you for giving me this opportunity. Clause 42B seeks to put restrictions on ownership. It says that a person shall not acquire more than one affordable housing unit developed under this Act. The question is whether this is an Act that is going to serve us for one, two or the next 100 years. What timeframe are we legislating on? If you put it in law and cast it in stone that a ... view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: that at the Third Reading Stage, any Member has a right to rise and make amendments subject to certain consultations with the Chair of the respective Committee. However, does it take away the right of the public to be part of the decisions we make? Does it take away the constitutional responsibility to ensure that we inject the views and voice of the public into what we do? I think this is a fairly dangerous amendment because it comes from a position of want; a position that we are in and that could be easily solved in five or 10 ... view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, as per the practice in this House, if there is a limitation of debate, it is done before the Member takes the Floor. view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: In the Committee of the Whole, we have agreed when you propose a Question any Member has a right to comment. Therefore, if you would allow me my 15 minutes. If there is a need for limitation of debate, that Motion can be made after I have finished my submission. Those are the rules of this House, not Government. When we are discussing a matter so important to Kenyans, we cannot be casual about the application of the law. The Chair cannot be directed to commit illegalities and unconstitutional behaviors. When I took the Floor, I was entitled to 15 ... view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, if you allow me, I will be done with my contribution to New Clause 42B in 15 minutes then yield the Floor to other Members to make their comments. view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, when you propose a question in the Committee of the Whole, all of us have a right to comment on it. That is why we are requesting that you slow down between proposing a question and putting it. Those are the rules of debate. Until Sen. Cheruiyot feels outwitted, it is what it is. These are the rules of the House. view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, that was exactly my problem with this provision. That we are legislating for poverty, not for prosperity. When I was making my submission, I was saying that after five to 10 years, everyone has a house. So, what are we going to put in the law that since Sen. Cheruiyot already has a house somewhere in Langata, and after ten years there are additional and excess houses, that will stop him from going for the second round? Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, that is poor legislative drafting and those are poor proposals that should not come in ... view
• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, a motorcycle is defined by two attributes. It has an engine and two wheels. The minute you come up with a motorcycle Bill like what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has come up with, then you alter the definition of the motorcycle and remove the engine from it; leaving it only two wheels, then that is no longer a motorcycle. That is the mischief that Sen. Thang’wa is introducing here. We are dealing with the Affordable Housing Bill and we are changing the definition of affordable housing at this point, after subjecting it to public participation. That is ... view
