Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this morning, I am a very embarrassed Member of this House. Extremely embarrassed. This Bill is not just coming for the first time. I prosecuted and brought this Bill in the 12th Parliament. It is not out of idle concern that this...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I would like to ask the Member whether he is proposing recommittal. I expected you to say that you are moving an amendment to drop this provision and then you recommit it, so that the text can be revised to place some...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, it will be entirely at the discretion of the two co-sponsors of the Bill to either drop or retain the amendment.

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I want Hon. Baya to listen because he may need to respond.

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I rarely interrupt my Whip but the Standing Orders require that one concludes debate in the language they start with. May Hon. Millie Odhiambo conclude in the manner she began? This being an official language, please proceed in the manner you started. (Laughter)

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you. When a Member raises a question that a Bill introduces amendments that fundamentally change the character of the Bill, that issue needs to be raised not at the recommittal stage, when we have already called for reporting. He needed to have raised a...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, as I support this proposed amendment, especially the part where the regulations will be required, I encourage the co-sponsors to move with speed so that we can iron out some of the issues that the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party raised...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I am persuaded by what Hon. Millie has said for one other reason and I will give an example.

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing us the latitude to speak on this very emotive matter. While I have absolutely no problem with Hon. Baya, and why we need to extend the time to deal with historical injustice- --

Fair enough, conclude. Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I thank you. This is my very last point. We must also look at the constitutionality of this in respect of what you call the retrospective or retroactive application of the law. How do you pass a law today to take back...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Yes, historical land injustices. My problem would be the expansionist nature in which the Presidential Memorandum has been crafted.
