• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me first of all explain what happened. Mr. Muturi moved this amendment. As the House may recall, I pointed out that, in my view, although the spirit was good, the way it--- view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, although the spirit behind the amendment was good, nevertheless, the way it had been drafted, to me, it was unconstitutional. I can repeat those arguments. However, the House overruled me and voted for the amendment. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, yesterday, the hon. Member approached me and more or less stated that he saw the good reasoning that I had made on the Floor of the House and that he would be asking for a re-committal of the Clause to be considered again. In fact, he got the assistance of the Clerk of the National ... view

That was ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order, when I have really explained that I am moving it here, but, clearly, it is Mr. Muturi who should have moved it? That is why I have explained what the position was very clearly. In other words, it was not for me to come up with a draft which meets the Constitution. It was for the hon. Member to come up with a draft which meets with the constitutional provision. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, according to my brief, it was a very strong suggestion from hon. Muturi. He acted in accordance with those instructions, but it is I who has moved it in this House. Rather than just argue about it, let us vote on it and move on. view
