Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) No! I had walked out. He has ‘stolen’ from me. (Laughter) 18th October 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 12

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my very good friend, Hon. Pukose, in seeking your direction with regard to Article 149 of the Constitution on the appointment and approval of the Deputy President by a vote.

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) I agree. Hon. Speaker, this Constitution was heavily borrowed from the United States of America. The 25th Amendment of the USA Constitution, which was passed in 1967, has a similar provision that a vice-president shall be nominated by the president and approved by a vote...

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Of course, you know the language which my very good friend, Hon. Ruweida Mohamed, uses. You can be sure if I attempt to use it, I will be confused quarter way. So, I better stay on a safe and well-trodden...

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is not my ordinary business to interrupt good friends like Hon. Mukunji who calls himself ‘Mwenye Kujituma’. Someone who sends himself must be respected. But because of the rules of this House, which go beyond respect, it...

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for correcting the error that was on the face of the record. I was seated here last evening. As we were walking out, the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Baya, informed me that it had been said...

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) I was the fourth one to vote ‘yes.’ I have witnesses here, including The Star, which indicate that I voted. I do not know why the others did not hear me. However, I am the most unlikely person not to vote, Hon. Speaker. I am...

Hon. Samuel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) Hon. Speaker, first, I take this opportunity to thank the Chairman for bringing the response to the question asked by Hon. Mbui, who is a member of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. This is a matter that exercised the mind of the Committee on Delegated...

Hon. Samuel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) It is not their business to tell us that they were issuing a notice and some guidelines that had already been issued. The substantive Act itself does not give them the power to regulate wages. We have written to the Principal Secretary and the Cabinet...

Hon. Samuel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Mishi Mboko is my good friend. However, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 83. The way she is moving the Motion is okay, but she is reading her notes instead of having a casual look at...

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 42 (2) , and I would like to request you to re-organise the Order Paper so that Order No.12 comes before Order No.11 because of the urgency and importance of those regulations which need to...
