• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, first of all, protect me. There is too much loud consultation. view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.96, to move:- That, the debate on this Motion be now adjourned. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the reasons for moving the Motion are, firstly, we have crucial matters before us in this House. One of the reasons is to enable us introduce a Supplementary Order Paper and debate the Report of the Procedure and House Rules view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise on a point of order with utmost respect to the Chair and my colleagues. I do this while aware that this is a House of rules, traditions, customs and records. view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have just looked at the report which has been placed before us; the second report of the Procedure and House Rules Committee on amendments to the Standing Orders. I seek your guidance whether this report is, indeed, view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, mine is to thank the leadership of CORD for untangling the deadlock and particularly our Minority leader, hon. Nyenze.

Standing Order No.204 provides for the Committee on Appointments, whose report we are debating here today and I want a direction from the Chair if, indeed, this report is properly before the House.

Where does it leave the hon. Members? This, in my view, is not a frivolous point of order because it goes to the very foundation of our country – the constitutionality of view
• 24 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support the Motion. However, I want to repeat a concern that I raised here yesterday.
