Johnson Sakaja

Hon. Sakaja Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to support the Bill. The intentions are noble. The statutes that are being amended need to be cleaned up in that way, from the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act. Of course, we are still waiting for more substantive amendments to this...

Hon. Sakaja Thank you. That even makes it easier for me to bring those substantive amendments to that law. When it comes to the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, the amendments should have come a long time ago, like defining the word “magistrate”. But as we know, these are miscellaneous amendments....

Hon. Sakaja Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Committee for their work on looking at this National Policy and also all the stakeholders. It has been a long process as the Vice-Chairlady has said - actually from 2005 in terms of coming up with this...

Hon. Sakaja Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You said the early bird catches the worm, but the early worm is caught first by the first bird. So, we are happy it has now come to this side. These are important issues we are talking about. Indeed, in our consideration of this...

Hon. Sakaja Hon. Speaker, our athletes have made us proud, and we must congratulate them. Even as we congratulate them, we must look at how we can focus on sports to unite our country. Just as Hon. Gumbo has said, whenever they win, what we only focus on as a...

Hon. Sakaja On a point of order.

Hon. Sakaja Look at what you are doing!

Hon. Sakaja Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you have just noticed that there are people who want to contribute, but you are not able to see them because other people have pressed their machines. Is it in order for you to ask those who want to contribute to these clauses Hon....

Hon. Sakaja Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson, I stand to support.

Hon. Sakaja The Question was proposed. I support the amendment by Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo for the same reasons as the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party. If anything, we need a more inclusive financial market regime so that we can have more banks in this country. In addition, I want...

Hon. Sakaja The Chairman concurs and I am coming to do the drafting.

Hon. SakajaThank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendment the Chairperson of the Committee is proposing to Clause 2. On the earlier one, though it has passed, those amendments are in order. Some of these companies, as much as we are trying to tax them highly, are huge...

Hon. Sakaja Hon. Chepkong’a really wants to go and have a cup of tea. I will finish in a few minutes. Hon. Deputy Speaker, when we were going through this in the Committee, there is an amendment that we tried to bring in following Hon. Jakoyo’s amendment, which was to...

Hon. Sakaja Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing up this issue because it is a matter that we must deal with. This Bill cannot be amended. It is true that Article 255 talks about matters that can go to a...

Hon. Sakaja Hon. Speaker, this is a House of rules and procedures. I rise under Standing Order No. 80 because I have noticed that the Member is totally reading his speech. Standing Order No.80 (1) states that:- “No Member shall read a speech but a Member may read short extracts...

Hon. Sakaja Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party is saying that my card has a virus. I do not know where that has come from. I want to thank you first for reminding us that tomorrow we have the prayer breakfast. Many had forgotten about it. I appeal...

Hon. Sakaja Thank you very much. I rise to second the Report of the Mediation Committee that was set up to find mediation on the Public Audit Bill. As the Chairman has noted very ably, this mediation was done in record time. In less than two hours we were in...
