• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I will write it down and bring it to you. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move that Clause 19 be further amended by inserting the words “of caterers and” in (3). It will now read as follows:- “In the case of the capital city or an urban county in which there are no potato farmers, the membership to the county committee specified under sub- clause (2)(b) shall instead consist of three persons representing association of caterers and processors of potato products nominated by the Council of Governors.” view
• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the essence here was that we have a national body which is catering for the potato industry in various ways, which I am not going to repeat, but we also felt that it was important both in the formulation of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I needed to consult Senator number one. It is a small matter; for purposes of the HANSARD, for the records; the chairman is saying that he is proposing but I think he is moving. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No. 139, the Committee of the Whole reports progress on its consideration of the Potato Produce and Marketing Bill (Senate Bill No. 28 of 2014), and seeks leave to sit again tomorrow. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. This is a procedural matter and it has come severally in this House. When we say a new Clause will be read a Second Time, which procedurally we do not end up doing, in which case the meaning of it does not seem to make sense. So, the Mover is saying that it be part of the Bill and supposedly we had perused through it and agreed but if he says it be read a Second Time, that opportunity never comes, so it should not be there. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in Senate: I still have a quarrel with the terms “Second Reading” because once we do the Second Reading, there is no opportunity or a system where we shall then pick a particular clause because the person who reads the Bill is the Clerk. There is no opportunity where we shall take that particular clause and give the Clerk to read. So, I am saying that it does not seem to add up procedurally. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, my sentiments are similar to the Senator who has just spoken. The way our system runs vis-à-vis business people with drinking places and the police is such that if we insert a clause where it licenses a particular number of people, it is a very good avenue for police to harass the bar owners because all they need to do is to come and accuse you of having exceeded the licensed number and before they take you to court, there will be a lot of harassment. On that basis, I oppose and request the Chair to ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Much as we are all waiting to hear what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale would say, there was a pending matter. There is a substantive issue raised by the Senate Minority Leader. He said that we were in the Committee of the Whole and because the Standing Orders are not expressly clear, the challenge was that we should move from (i) to (ii). Therefore, your decision here will be important as to whether we can succeed or not. My view is that we should move to (ii) and proceed. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On the same matter, this is a challenge for this House. I am hopping the very heavy consultations with the very experienced clerk will bear fruit in the direction we wish to go. I am seeing it as a very big challenge for this House because it is not the first time that we are having an order with sub-orders, especially during the Committee Stage. When you finish the process of a sub-order, you might call it “(i).” It is actually a pragmatic move so that we do not vote when ... view
