• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you for the clarification. I also want to thank the Leader of Majority Party for being very clear on some of these matters, which appear not to be very clear to the Senate. Parts 1 and 2 of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution set out what belongs to the national Government and what belongs to the county governments, respectively. If the Senate could just address itself to the issues they need to legislate on, under Part 2 of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: the Fourth Schedule, they would appreciate that the Mining Bill does not fall within their jurisdiction. I have just been looking at Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution. It is not sufficient for them to just go to Mombasa and mislead the media that the Mining Bill belongs to them. They have not quoted any part of the Constitution to prove that claim. Kenyans have not given them that mandate. The Senators have a mistaken belief that we are in a vertical relationship with them. Our relationship with the Senate is horizontal. So, the mistaken belief that ... view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. Of course, as you know, we have already filed our Report, which I tabled on Tuesday. view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I am addressing hon. Chairlady. Of course, hon. (Maj-Gen) Nkaissery knows that we respect leadership, including himself when he was a General. We discussed this matter, but it would have been neater if we left this matter and deliberated upon it later when we come back from recess. That is because we have a number of concerns. We want all hon. Members to be present. There is misinterpretation. I do not know the advice that was given to the President. We believe that it was not good advice with regard to particular amendments here and I think if the House ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House:- Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on the refusal by the President to assent to the Status Law (Miscellaneous Amendments Bill, 2014. Thank you. 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
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.83 as read together with Standing Order No.89. As you know, I am the godfather of hon. Moses Kuria. When he first appeared before this House, I escorted him and I would still play that role even today. I know this is a very important Motion that he seeks to introduce in the House. It is a matter that has exercised the minds of Kenya for a long time, including even those of the legal fraternity. Those ex parte orders are issued by the Judiciary without considering the views of ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: orders. That is a matter that we intend to deal with under the Civil Procedure Code. We intend to amend the Civil Procedure Code to provide for instances when a court can issue an ex parte injunction without hearing the other party. Therefore, in view of the very clear provisions of our Standing Order and the precedent that we have set in this House; it will not be in order for us to discuss that matter, hon. Kuria. It could be postponed to some other day when that case has been concluded then we can have the merits of the ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when hon. Midiwo was contributing on a point of order, he kept on referring to you as the Chairman. I looked to see whether Standing Orders have been amended so that you become the Chairman when you are sitting there. I hope the HANSARD will be corrected to show that you were the Speaker. I hope it is not the confusion between the Committee on General Oversight and this House. I rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order No.83 read together with Standing Order Nos.96 and 40. I have two issues. One, I am seeking ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am suitably guided by yourself. Of course, you have been mean with your words. You probably would have said ‘If hon. Chepkong’a is wise enough, he should conclude before 5.30 p.m.” Owing to your wisdom, I hope I will do so in the few minutes remaining. I rise to second the Insolvency Bill, 2014. From the outset, may I just say that this is, indeed, a very important Bill to this country. It will revolutionise and transform the way we do business. It will inject confidence into the economy of this country. The ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: provide an insolvency system along with measures that are necessary in an insolvency system that is functional and economically sound. The rationale for reforming the insolvency regime in Kenya is fivefold. One, it is intended to provide opportunity for companies and individual enterprises with an opportunity to survive and, therefore, spur economic development. Two, it is intended to maintain commercial morality and public confidence. Three, it is intended to provide a fair balance between restructuring and liquidation that will allow distressed enterprises to explore possibilities of an easy and efficient revival. Fourthly, the intention of the reformed legislation is to ... view
