• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: (b) an Economic Impact Assessment Report outlining the gains, losses and developments arising from the implementation of the Kenya-UK EPA.” All those words are not part of the Treaty. However, they are put in one motion. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I want your guidance. Do those words constitute a reservation in which case they will be part of the Treaty? If they are not, then they ought not to be part of what we are approving because then we are offending Sections 8(4) (5) and (9) of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Secondly, Section 8 and 9 of the Act contemplates a role for both Houses: the National Assembly and the Senate. I am not aware of this. I hope that either under your guidance as Hon.

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: over four million Kenyans signify their acceptance and willingness to be promoters. This is a process that has already gone to all the counties in this country and 44 of the 47 counties have already formally signified their expression, about 42 of them accepting and two rejecting. More importantly, this is a process where the ultimate test of public participation will be the vote of the people in a referendum. That is where having considered everything, every Kenyan who is eligible to vote will vote either yes or no. It must be understood that this will be the ultimate expression ... view

Speaker, that limited public participation will be the opportunity for the promoters to engage with the committees for a fuller and better understanding of the document. It is also the opportunity where the promoters will also engage with the committees not just on the constitutional amendments, but the entire proposals in the BBI Report, some of which require statutory Bills and statutory amendments in which case even as we are considering the constitutional amendment Bill, then we would have the opportunity to initiate the processes that are necessary to enact those other Bills. In terms of timelines, I welcome ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I support this Bill.
