Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Bill. I would focus may be just on two issues because the provisions of this Bill would have to be scrutinised quite effectively. I am happy that the Minister has, indeed, stated that before the Bill is brought back for the Third Reading, the relevant Committee, which would have been constituted, would have an opportunity to thoroughly examine the provisions of this Bill. First, let me just say that this Bill is extremely timely because we know very well that matters that relate to finance are extremely sensitive. They can also ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Bill and to really say that I think the legalities of it have been very well articulated by both hon. Karua and hon. Orengo. The spirit of it, I think, is what we should really emphasize at this point in time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the previous speakers, especially, hon. Karua on one 188 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 18, 2008 issue; that, indeed, on the occasion of the signing of this Accord between hon. Raila Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki, there was spontaneous jubilation and relief in ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, apart from that, I think we all need to recognise that the economy of this country, under the prevailing circumstances, was beginning to go into a very dangerous situation. It is quite clear that, as a country, if we do not pull together now, the aspects and management of the economy for whoever will be in the Government will be extremely difficult for that Government and, indeed, the Kenyan people. It is time to move forward and rally behind this new proposal. That way, we can say that Kenya can start afresh and, indeed, even become greater ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second the Motion moved by the Leader of Government Business. We, indeed, truly appreciate and support the sentiments contained in the Presidential Speech. I would like to request hon. Members of this House that as they discuss this particular Motion, they also take into account the remarks that were made by the President when he addressed the joint parliamentary group meeting of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the Party of National Unity (PNU) on the same day of 6th August, 2008, in the morning. The two statements will really help us in understanding ...

We should not attempt to interpret issues when we are not competent to interpret them. We should not try to purport that we are pushing an agenda on a particular issue when we are not yet ready. This House is going to be called upon to make some extremely serious legislative decisions. It is important that until Parliament has dealt with that legislative agenda, we be very cautious and 70 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 12, 2008 refrain ourselves from trying to interpret what is not yet law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Presidential Speech has a few important issues. In his remarks, ...
