• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: What this amendment is trying to do is that in case the vote in the Senate fails, we are providing for the channel of communication – that communication be conveyed to the Speaker of the County Assembly. We are also providing that such a Motion for removal of the Governor may not be introduced again in that County Assembly until after three months, if a Member feels that he can re-introduce such a Motion. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Part (B) provides for the procedure for the removal of a County Governor on grounds of incapacity. When you look at the Constitution, Article 144 provides different procedures for the removal of a President when it comes to physical or mental incapacity. This is because that is something that requires expertise of the medical field in the form of a tribunal sort of. If we leave the removal of a Governor from office on issues of incapacity to debate and determination by only the county assemblies, we will be doing injustice. So, I am trying to cure that defect by ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, is Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona in order to only read sections of the Constitution that she thinks are a bit more favourable when, indeed, it sets out how these appointments are supposed to be done? It says that a third of which shall be from either gender. That is in the Constitution. It is not even in the Act. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 42 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub- clause immediately after sub-clause (1)- “(1A) The quorum of a meeting of a county executive committee shall be one half of its membership”. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: It is on page on 3274. What the amendment tries to cure is the issue of quorum because we are provided for in the Bill that the resolutions of the County Executive Committee shall be by a majority of the members present and voting. For, at least, sanity to prevail so that it does not happen when a Governor wants to deliberate on a matter and have the resolutions of the Executive Committee, he sends seven or six Executive Committee members on trip outside county, or to even outside the country, and then he remains with two of them and ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was just looking for at least half of the membership; that would be better than when you have a governor and when an executive committee member deciding on an issue. So, I think we need not deliberate so much on the threshold of 50 plus one or the like; but I think half of the membership of, say 10, plus one which is 11 is enough. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, sometimes, we also get tired. We are not machines. It seems like I was overtaken by events. I thought that the one hon. Chanzu was deleting was Clause 51. Since even for my amendment I had consulted the Minister as well, and I do not have powers to move any new amendments now and the Minister has been granted such powers by the Standing Orders, then I would rather donate my amendment to him, so that he can move it as a new amendment. I hope that he is listening. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT clause 60 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (5). view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 75 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (e) of sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “except on account of dismissal”. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the import of the amendment is to simply remove issues where, when a person is aggrieved by the decisions of the county service board, he can have an appeal processed to the Public Service Commission. view
