• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in moving the amendment, let me clarify this. If you look at Rule 8(3), you will see that it talks about an amendment to substitute a Member. Sub Rule 2 does not talk about substituting a Member. Sub rule 2 says:- "The National Assembly shall, within seven sitting days from the date of receipt of the names under rule 6, consider the Motion and adopt it, with or without amendment---" So, I am within sub rule 2 in moving this amendment. I am not asking to substitute names. I am just saying these names be ... view
• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, questions have been raised under Rule 5. There are Members here, who have said that they were never called to a Parliamentary Group meeting of their party. What I am saying is that we do not want this House and the country to be held hostage by another set of court proceedings without the East African Legislative Assembly having a quorum. That is why I am urging that those Members in respect of which there is no question, let us vote on them and let them proceed to Arusha. Those Members in respect of whom ... view
• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first objective is to ensure that the five candidates who have been nominated by KANU, FORD(P) and FORD(K) are approved and they go and join the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). This should be done without subjecting them to the potential of a court action that might result in the nine nominees from Kenya not joining EALA. The second objective is that it is not fair to hold back--- view
• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that the Chair has heard from the Floor of this House that there are objections about the NARC nominees. Those objections relate to the four whose names my amendment is seeking to remove from the list. We should not allow the dispute about these four to compromise--- view
• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Could I proceed, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir? view
• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, these are nominees of the NARC party. No one is raising any question marks about the other five names. I am saying that the objection about these four should not be allowed to hold back the other five in respect of whom no one has any question marks. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko, will second the amendment. I beg to move. view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand under Standing Order No.21 to move: "THAT, the debate on the Constitution of Kenya Review Bill be now adjourned". Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the basis for that is that, on 4th April, 2007, after the First Reading of the Constitution of Kenya Review Bill, the Bill was referred to the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs. The Committee duly met and considered that, in view of the ongoing dialogue that would, hopefully, lead to a consensus on the constitutional review and on the contents of this Bill, it was appropriate that ... view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Wetangula will second the Motion. view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when one looks at Article 50 of the Treaty it states:- "The National Assembly of each partner State, shall elect---" The relevant fundamental term is, "shall elect." Therefore, rules for the election of Members must promote and facilitate the National Assembly in genuinely electing. The responsibility of electing 1596 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 23, 2007 is placed on the National Assembly. Why is that so? It is because when Members are elected to go to the East African Assembly, they do not go there to represent their parties or anything, they go to represent the Republic of Kenya. ... view
