Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) So, the mindset that the ruling party must have the majority Members in Parliament for them to do the Executive work of the country must be gotten rid of. We must emulate democracies that have matured over 200 years. In the last administration of...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Wamboka who has just finished his contribution has said that the only seat Luhyas have in this Parliament is yours. Do we assume that?

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) The Republican Party was controlling the House of Representatives and the Democratic Party was controlling the Senate and life went on as usual. So, my advice to this House and to Parliament in general is that the only solution to this problem is to...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) I also say that having a PhD does not mean that you know English. You can have a PhD and not know English. The other day in Eldoret, one university gave honorary degrees of PhDs, and people were in gowns. How did those people...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) I want to thank the Member for Mathira for informing me that Wamunyoro is a very good place which I have not yet visited. I need to pay a courtesy call to him so I can see how good Wamunyoro is. Why am I...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, this is a very important issue. That is the reason why nowadays ambassadors have to be approved by this House. That was not the case before. The President would appoint individuals and they would go to work. We must make our views...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Yes. Especially, by somebody from Wamunyoro Village.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am happy that you have protected me from the wrath of Hon. Kwenya. Maybe, one of the nominees who was dismissed is from his village and he is seeking a new job through an ambassadorial appointment. The House should...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think the Deputy Speaker did not hear me well. First, if you are to send me on a mission on behalf of Parliament to London, you will ask if I am available from a certain date. So, before you...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Deputy Majority Leader is my friend and a man I respect a lot. I kindly request him to withdraw that allegation because this is a House of records and procedure. Without any substantiation, you cannot say that Mr Michael Mubea...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Let me respond to both of them. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Do you want to be informed by the Hon. Member for Buuri? Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Yes.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) The information was meant for Hon. Keynan. What Hon. Keynan has raised is what was raised when the Constitution was being passed. Does life begin at conception, or when you are alive? If he is talking about conception, that then is a different matter....

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. I thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for a job well done. They have done a thorough job because their Report is very clear on what their mandate was. I...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) There is nothing that is out of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is the Third Reading and we are allowed to say something.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East) I want to seek clarification from the Chairperson. I want to tell him that what the court provided is the definition of ‘paid’. But that is a ruling of the court. Now, we are legislating for the court. We can put what the court is...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM)Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Leader of the Majority Party, this is a House of rules and procedures.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, this amendment is good on the face of it because why procure when you do not have money? Why not wait until you get the money? This is a good amendment, but it will make it difficult for the Government because...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) I want to use that space at the Third Reading to say something.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) First, I want to congratulate the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and his Members for a job well done. This is one of the rare tax amendment Bills that had the least disruptions. Proper public participation was done all...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to seek your indulgence on a matter of importance. For quite some time now, Parliament has been under attack from the religious leaders and other groups. We are not Members of Parliament by accident. We were elected by...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Yes! You are right, Hon. Speaker. Imagine in Kisii, they had 45 aspirants. You cannot bastardise a position that has been given by the Constitution. The people donate their sovereignty and yet, they are saying that Parliament is useless and has been captured. In...
