• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You know, I am listening to those who are asking for the leave of the House. Honestly, that we can accept. In terms of what the Bill seeks to do, the Committee has done thorough work. It has done a Report. It has even recommended some amendments which are in line with what I am listening to. The Report was tabled a long time ago. So, if Members wanted to add some more amendments from that Report, they should have done so. The point is that the amendments are there. The Bill was published a long ... view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: smoothly. That is why this Bill is going to help Kenyans. If you want to curtail the passage of the Bill, you are actually curtailing what the people of Kenya should get. You should be persuaded. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, for avoidance of doubt, let me be clear. I said that if the leave of the House is denied to deal with the Committee of the whole House, I have no problem. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I have no problem. The only thing I have a problem with is saying that they need to go through what people are debating; or to read the Report, which I laid last week. It has been there, not just today. The Bill has been there, the Report was done, that Report in itself contains the amendments which are speaking to some of the issues which are being raised. What time do we require, if I laid the Report on the Table of the House last week? What time do we require for Members to read a report of that ... view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Yes. They are contained therein. The amendments of the Committee are contained in that Report, which I tabled. The Bill itself, like you have rightly said, has been on the Order Paper for a long time; meaning that they have read the principal Bill and the Report together with our amendments. I am sure Members should have started suggesting amendments to make. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, can you protect me from the shouting Member for Kikuyu? He keeps shouting and heckling. I do not know why he must heckle. I do not know why you give him so much latitude. He should let me discuss the issue. If he is not happy, he can take his space. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am asking this: If I laid the Report last week, what further time do we require? It has been a week already and I repeat, the Report has the amendments that are proposed by the Committee. So, is it that Members have not read the Report? You need to give direction without having to listen to people who just want to delay the process. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the National Electronic Single Window System Bill (National Assembly Bill No.15 of 2021) and its approval thereof with amendments view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Bill. In seconding, I want to mention that this Bill was first read in the House on Wednesday, 1st September 2021 and subsequently committed to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. We took the initiative under Article 118 of the Constitution and Standing Order 127(3) to place advertisement in all media forums inviting public participation on the same. We did this to comply with the Constitution and let the people of this nation be part and parcel of creating this law, which is quite overdue since we ... view
