• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this particular Procedural Motion. The Standing Orders and any law for that matter, is supposed to be a living document. It is important that it moves, shakes and settles. It is important that we keep on looking at what we have and improving it. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: We have had several months of use of this document that was passed by the last Parliament. We have learnt certain lessons, seen errors and have had difficulties.

On page 615, my interpretation of the wording “(1B) The maximum percentage of the sum specified in section 5(b) and prescribed in the Schedule under this Act shall be inclusive of the medical expenses on the judgment or claim” is that--- view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this amendment means that a person who is injured and incurs medical expenses amounting to, say, Kshs10 million or Kshs15 million, his compensation will be limited to Kshs3 million. This is a very bad clause, which we must reject. 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
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I propose that we deal with the amendment that hon. Sakaja has brought. view
