• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: As you have directed, he can even move an amended version of his Motion tomorrow, which is still allowed within the Standing Orders. So, I think what we should have on HANSARD record, and that is what hon. James Orengo stated, is that what the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal affairs is doing is to table a corrigenda to a report that he tabled a few days ago. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think we had deferred this Motion to this afternoon because maybe we thought that the quorum would be better and, indeed, is better. So, it is only fair we deal with this Motion. We should go ahead and attempt, as a House, to the best of our ability and not withdraw the Motion when we have invested so much in it. We have been whipping hon. Members since morning and I think it is worthwhile to give it a shot and see how many the Government side can raise. In ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House that the Front Bench, or the Executive side of Parliament, relies on the Chief Whips when we know that at times the Permanent Secretaries and the Head of Public Service have been sending letters to whip hon. Members? Why should they rely on the Chief Whips and yet it is only Members of the Back Bench who support the Whips and not the Executive Members? Where is the Head of the Public Service? view

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to inform him that I have been handed a list by hon. Isaac Ruto, which has notable absentees like, hon. Raila Odinga, hon. ole Ntimama, hon. John Munyes, hon. Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o, hon. Gumo and hon. Peter Kenneth. I am informed that most of them are within even the environs of Nairobi. It is only the President who is out of the country. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not lost and it has been reiterated by many Members that the quagmire we find ourselves in is because of the delay in publishing these Bills and the recall of the House. I very well remember many instances where the Government had a particular interest that it discussed and disposed of in this House, it would go out of the way to whip all the Members and in fact, even the Back Bench because we all belong to parties which are still in the Government. So, the reason ... view

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, after hearing both arguments, I am inclined to oppose the amendment by hon. Mungatana because regulations are binding laws. The Executive is not an assembly nor are they a Parliament for them to exercise oversight over their own actions. So, if the regulations agreed upon by the Cabinet Secretary and the Summit pass through the Senate, this will give them more clout and they will receive much more respect. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think I will go by the advice of Mr. Orengo. Although Mr. Ngugi wants to cure a problem here, I also have an amendment which we have discussed with him. In case counties are aggrieved by any decision that this Authority would come with, then they have a right to appeal to the Senate which is also a higher body which can see how they can mediate. But now, putting the Clerk of the Senate into day to day running of issues that have to do with this Authority is a little bit stretching ... view
