Junet Sheikh Nuh Mohamed

Hon. Mohamed Sheikh (Wajir South, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Hon. Member for Turbo, just hold on. Hon. Mohammed Sheikh, what is out of order? Hon. Mohamed Sheikh (Wajir South, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I apologise...

Hon. Nuh Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity. I support the Motion for extension of period for consideration of nominee to the Office of the Solicitor-General. The State Law Office is a very important department of governance. As the people’s watchdog, I want to bring to your...

Hon. Nuh No, Hon. Speaker, I just wanted to enrich the debate. What Hon. Kangogo is putting across has some meaning, but in the sense that when the Leader of the Majority Party introduces a Bill and it is coming up for Second Reading, I think the chair of that...

Hon. Nuh Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity. I stand to oppose this Motion in the sense that, as has been said by the Leader of the Minority Party who has just been removed from the House, we cannot legislate in anticipation. When you get Communication, the...

Hon. Nuh What is the point of order? Hon. Speaker, this matter...

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, there was an issue I was asking for your indulgence and ruling. The matter that is supposed to be addressed by this Motion is supposed to be taken to the Committee on Appointments and I said we have not yet submitted the names to that Committee....

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, I rise to second the Motion. Committees are very important organs of this Parliament. Most of the works we do in Parliament go through Committees. What happens in committees is more important than what happens on the Floor of the House. Hon. Speaker, we managed to...

Hon. Nuh When a Member is appointed to a committee, we expect elections to be conducted. The clerks of the committees will issue notices for Members to meet to elect their chairmen or chairladies and vice-chairpersons. Jubilee Party has already appointed the chairpersons and the vice-chairpersons of committees. That is...

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, the Member is new and he has pronounced my name like that of a lady. When one is dressed like a Serjeant-at-Arms, in a green suit, one may be mistaken to be part of them. (Laughter)

Hon. Nuh Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What I was alluding to is in the public domain and within the corridors of Parliament. Certain people have been anointed as chairmen and chairladies. Both the Minority and Majority sides are supposed to participate in the election of persons to committees. If you...

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, I wish to speak as a Member of the NASA Coalition and the Minority Whip. I do not want to speak as a Member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) . I belong to ODM as a party, but to NASA as a coalition. The last...

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party has just been canvassing here in front of our eyes for the last two hours telling the Members of WDM that they must rebel and resist. Cameras can show that. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, I suspected him. I withdraw, but I suspected him. (Laughter)

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, I stand to second the Motion. The PSC is basically the Commission that has employed us in this House. We are employees of the PSC. It is a very important organ that we must make sure we put men and women who are going to work...

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, I have two minutes to contribute. What I have come to discover is that I thought it is our side which had problems.

Hon. Nuh I have seconded. I want to say that we must come together as a Parliament to approve this list. I do not see why we should argue on this matter. I propose that we withdraw, discuss and come back, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Nuh Yes, I did.

Hon. Nuh Hon. Speaker, I just want to add my voice to the issue raised by Hon. Kangogo. It is very true that the position of the majority and minority leaders are constitutional offices and in my coalition, I support Hon. Mbadi to remain as the Leader of the Minority...

Hon. Nuh Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand to oppose the Motion. This House has standing Orders which guide how it operates. Standing Order No. 127 (1) says, “A Bill having been read a First Time shall stand committed to the relevant Departmental Committee without question put.

Hon. Nuh Hon. Maore has been away for some time and the induction course was only for seven days. It was a few days. We need to increase it to one month. The ad hoc committee that was spoken about by the Leader of the Majority Party, which is supposed...

Hon. Nuh Hon. Deputy Speaker, I can tell you for sure that there is no membership from our side in any committee that will be formed for now or in the near future. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Nuh Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am holding brief for the Leader of the Minority Party who is away on official business of the party. The last time we discussed amendments to a Bill on elections like the one we discussed in the 11th Parliament, it was a very important...

Hon. Nuh I am guided.

Hon. Nuh I do not support this Motion because these issues are grievous to this country. I request the Leader of the Majority Party to shelve this Bill and let us discuss it in a bipartisan manner. Let us look at the merit of the issues they want to bring....
