Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, it is just for the record. However, when it comes to voting I will vote “no”, I must say so in advance because I cannot participate in an illegal process. For whatever purpose, the expediency does not justify making an illegal Act. That is my position.

Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, the correct position for the HANSARD is that the Second Reading came before the Committee Report. We sometimes expedite Bills before the Committee finalizes its work. However, during the Second Reading, I had made my reservations to those clauses. When the Bill came to the Committee, we agreed that the reservations I had would be part and parcel of the report which has not been presented. That is the correct position. The reservations I have about those two clauses are already part of the report of the Legal Affairs Committee. So, it is not something that ...

.: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I don’t know whether I am supposed to refer to the Senate Majority Leader, as my older brother now that he has referred to me as his younger brother. I rise to support The Energy Bill (National Assembly Bill No.50 of 2015) which is quite large and contains several matters. Just as the Senate Majority Leader said, it is important that the Committee scrutinizes this Bill particularly on functions of counties. I am very impressed and I must say that we are making progress as Parliament in terms of drafting laws that concern county governments. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are actually age mates though I look younger than him. From the beginning, I wish to state that this Bill in its entirety, all folds, all sections, was developed by the Information Communication and Technology Committee of the Senate, though for some reasons it found its way to the National Assembly. I was telling my Chairman that his Bill is now on the floor. Some of these things at times disappoint me, but I am learning through the Senate that I should practice my Christianity a little more. I want to correct an impression created by ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the problem is that with teaching, every time you go to class you carry a marking scheme before you set an exam. I was talking about the principle of fundamental rights, even before I get to the exceptions. This is because the principle of a fundamental right is that it is inherent. It is like a right to life, to speak or to walk. That right is granted to you, it is unalienable. Regarding the rights of information, unknown to Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, when the national Government refused to disclose about the attack of our soldiers ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. At first instance, I have been trying to go through the main Act. Unless the Senate Majority Leader can confirm, I am not sure that this is a legislation arising out of the Bills that were done before the new Constitution. In fact, when I look at the definitions, it appears as if the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries which this Bill will be referred to, should look at the definitions that appear on Clause 2. When I read the Long Title of the seeds and plant varieties, unless ...
