• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: My apologies, hon. Speaker. Allow me to commit the Committee to provide an answer in two weeks. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the members of the Committee are actually signaling three weeks but because I had mentioned two weeks--- We have some Bills that we are considering at the moment. So, let me keep it at two weeks. Otherwise, the members of the Committee are asking me to extend the time to three weeks. So, kindly hon. Wanga, you will get the answer in two weeks. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. In view of the matters before the Committee especially the Bills, I will require three weeks. I say this on behalf of my Chair, Mr. Chepkonga. So, I require three weeks to bring the Statement. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Twenty one days. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: We can do it in two weeks. It is just that we have the Election Campaign Financing Bill and The Marriage Bill as well on the table, but I think in two weeks, we should be able to bring back the answer. In any case, the conference is already going on and what we need to look at are the expenditures and such other matters. So, two weeks will be sufficient. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am also looking at the same Standing Order No.44(2)(c) and I am not sure if the matters that have been raised fall within the mandate of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs because the matters are about civil society organisations. The human rights ones would probably fall within our committee but the bulk of the human rights and the bulk of other human society organisations now fall within the Public Benefit Organisations Act. I am not sure, looking at the mandate of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, whether that particular ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: How long will you give us to look at the request? view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. We are going to look at the request a little more keenly and just see which committee can take up the matter. Looking at Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I am almost sure that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs might not be really the one that is going to be seized of that matter. Thank you.

• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also happy to contribute to the debate on the Finance Bill and to suport the Bill and the amendments that it proposes. But as I do that, I would urge that in the years to come, The Finance Bill is accompanied by an explanatory note. In many legislatures where they pass similar laws like the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment), like what we passed here, that particular law requires explanatory notes. If you look at the House today, part of the reason why we are few is because not many Members are able to ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: When I was in the Budget and Appropriations Committee, I raised the matter that we are confronted with the Finance Bill without the parent Act, the substantive legislation and without understanding what is the problem with the law as it existed before. Why must we change it now? Then we have to make quick decisions around supporting some of these amendments. So, while I support the Bill this particular year, I would urge that in the years to come, we have explanatory notes accompanying legislations, so that we understand where we are taking our country. For example, we have the ... view
