• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Member not misleading the House by forgetting to look at Chapter 18, Transition and Consequential Provisions, particularly Article 261(4)? It says that:- “For purposes of Clause 1, the Attorney-General, in consultation with the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution, shall prepare the relevant Bills for tabling before Parliament as soon as reasonably practicable, to enable Parliament to enact legislation within the period specified”. You can see that the framers of our Constitution had all these circumstances in mind that Parliament could be in recess when the Bill is ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Parliament has not failed. This is exactly what we are doing now. We are enacting. All these Bills are within the--- view

• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for hon. Ethuro to go for the overkill, and become so excited because oil has been found in Turkana? view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we are reading too much in what is not there. If you look at the President’s letter dated 13th March, 2012 it is addressed to the Speaker. It is referring to the memorandum of refusal to assent to the County Governments Bill (2012). It says:- “I wish to clarify that the reference to the memorandum to Clause 30 (1) (i) is erroneous. The correct reference should be Clause 30 (2) (i)”. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I have looked very carefully at the President’s Memorandum and do not see any contradiction at all. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the framers of the Constitution, in their wisdom, placed national security under the National Government for good reasons. I think what the framers of the Constitution had in mind is that if you put national security under county government and get a rebel governor who may want to declare their county independent-- - that was exactly the reason why national security was placed under the National Government. That is exactly what the President is saying. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, secondly, if you look again at the functions of the county government, national security is not one of them, again, for good reasons. If you go to the Schedule, it says that the Provincial Administration will be restructured within five years. It will be restructured and not abolished. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, thirdly, again, I have looked at the President’s Memorandum and do not see what is negative about the amendments that the House passed. Therefore, to me, the solution is that we now discuss the merits of the President’s Memorandum, and if we do not agree with them, raise 65 per cent and override them and then, what originally the House passed, passes. If we cannot get the numbers, then we will accept the President’s Memorandum and move on. We need this county devolution as a matter of urgency. The President is on record supporting devolution. The Treasury ... view
