• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.83; on a more concrete way, we need your direction. Under Standing Order No.175, hon. Members of various select committees are approved by this House. Under Standing Order No.176, when a party decides to remove that hon. Member, it becomes automatic yet that hon.

• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: We need your direction with regard to these conflicting laws, so that hon. Members can be protected. As you know, I was formerly in the ODM and hon. Midiwo knows that I was a very powerful member then. They may make an attempt to de-whip me when they know that I am not in their party. We need to reconcile these two provisions; we seek your direction. view
