• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, at least, I am glad that hon. Kimunya has not gone to any law school. Maybe that is the more reason he would want us to believe in his version of the interpretation of the Constitution; that is in his own imagination. I want to read. There are several sections that I have withdrawn because I have seen they are at variance with the Constitution.

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, that is why I am saying we delete provisions of Section 29(2) and I did not tamper with anything on 29 (1).

• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Eng. Maina well knows that this House is not governed by the Bible and that the only book we use here is the Standing Orders for procedures.

• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Awhile ago, the sister Ministry; that is, the Ministry of State for Public Service, had just told us of a situation where two officers who were supervising an officer were not aware that he was missing from duty for three good years.

• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I seek your indulgence. I have been diligently sitting here since 2.30 p.m., and when I raised the Quesition, the Minister was not in the House but now that he is in the House, could you--- view
