• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: So, I support the idea of a legal framework to deal with this particular issue, so that we do not expose posterity to a lot of harm and health problems. Thank you. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I have been listening to hon. Mbadi and hon. Millie talk of violation of the Constitution. They were very categorical. They are mentioning the provisions of the Constitution that are purportedly likely to be violated by the intended amendments but they are not saying which provision in the intended Acts is likely to violate that Constitution. There is none. They are actually not saying any. So, I think they are completely out of order. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Unfortunately, I just got in when hon. Amina Abdalla was winding up her statement. What I got is the challenge of all the money Bills being sent to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I want to draw the Chair and the House’s attention to Standing Order No.23. It is partly based on Article 114 of the Constitution which is very specific when it comes to money Bills. With your permission, I would like to reiterate what it states. Article 114 reads:- view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: “ (1) A money Bill may not deal with any matter other than those listed in the definition of “a money Bill” in clause (3). view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: (2) If in the opinion of the Speaker of the National Assembly, a motion makes provision for a matter listed in the definition of “a money Bill”, the Assembly may proceed only in accordance with the recommendation of the relevant Committee of the Assembly after taking into account the views of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Sub-article 3 literally defines a money Bill as any Bill that will have monetary implication. So, in my opinion, once this House, through the Standing Orders, defines the specific committee--- That is because the Constitution is not referring to committees, it refers to a committee. Once this House defines which committee should be dealing with those money Bills, I do not think it has an option of probably referring those Bills to different committees. It is a single committee identified for this purpose. In this case and under our Standing Orders, we are referring to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. In this country, we have enough natural calamities and disasters. As I speak, we have many IDPs. They do not have homes and are suffering from the elements of the weather out there. When we, as mankind, set to create the institution of the Government, the idea was to assist in getting services and improving our lot. If we create a creature which then turns around and becomes a problem and causes untold suffering to its own citizens, then the purpose of having a Government is completely lost. We cannot afford ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the project should be created to help the people who live downstream. As some of the previous speakers have indicated, it is important that we create other dams downstream and we use the water that is released from the dams upstream for irrigation. We know for sure that day and night will come. Every other season we will have drought in the Tana Delta. This is particularly downstream. Why do we not use part of our money to construct dams which will be used to harvest this water after it has been released from KenGen and TARDA’s ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, Articles 42 and 43 of the Constitution makes it mandatory that this Government provides a clean and health environment to its people, reasonable view
