• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The issue I am raising has nothing to do with proper House Business, I just wanted to mention that the Serjeant-At-Arms’ office needs to find out why this place is freezing, and it feels very cold. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. With all due respect I would like to tell my colleague and friend, Hon. Manson Nyamweya, that he was in this House two years ago when we diluted Chapter Six of the Constitution. Its standards and benchmarks were lowered. This House legitimized the fact that hon. Mututho can keep the job until he is found guilty and then he can leave the job. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The point that hon. Nyamweya is belabouring here about Mr. Mututho’s illegality--- Mr. Mututho is still innocent until proved guilty. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Could the Member stop misleading this House? view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for your indulgence. Even after you have already made a request that we need to have our consultations done in low voices, there are still loud consultations. This is a very important issue we are looking at here. It would be important for hon. Members of this House to just take time and be attentive so that we can listen and get to a point where we understand what exactly is being debated in this House. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the confusion is that we already have the amendments which we have been presented with. The best thing we will do is to go through every amendment; then if there is need for us to amend the amendment, then we do it from the list that we have. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let us take the amendments that the Chairman had already presented to the House and then we can bring amendments to them if there is need for that. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I hope my colleagues will look at it positively. My feeling is that instead of completely deleting the issue of overseeing the management and administration of the Fund, including recoveries of loans and beneficiaries, I would want the amendment to state that there will be a necessity for an inclusion of an agency or any other institution that may oversee the management and administration of the Fund, including recoveries of loans from beneficiaries. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The point I am making here is that the Committee which will run this Fund, which will be at the constituency level, should have the capability of negotiating with an agency; in this case it could also be a bank or a SACCO managing this Fund. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Due to your wise ruling, will it not be worthy for us to technically look for a way on how we can hold the debate on this matter until we are able to come up with a position on the matter? view
