Kajwang Francis Tom Joseph

Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you know, trying to speak in Kiswahili will be like committing suicide in this House. Because I respect it, I do not want to start falling down - that the whole Member for Ruaraka has choked because his tongue...

Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have dealt with the issue of two-thirds gender rule exactly in terms of how Mheshimiwa Ng’eno has said. It is not out of the question of lack of law being in the Constitution. The Constitution mandates us to make...

Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Article 38 deals with political rights, and political rights begin from participation in political parties. Every citizen has a right to participate in fair and regular elections, and the vote is taken by secret ballot. That is the point. Thank you for bringing up this...

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker There is nobody on the Floor and so, there cannot be a point of order. (Loud consultations) Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Yes, within the context. Hon. Speaker. I feel a little bad when the Leader...

Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Speaker, ordinarily, this kind of Motion should not receive a lot of loud opposition. However, the point we are pursuing is that this is a House of records, procedure and decorum. Disclosure is very important to Members so that we debate from a point...

Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Nowadays, I do not understand the issue of points of order. Everything is a point of order even when nothing is out of order.

Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I long for the days when I served in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs alongside my learned friend. Unfortunately, that is not what I am seeing happening. He knows very well that I am quite in order. The House Business...

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker What is out of order, Hon. Kajwang’? Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Speaker, there is an issue we struggled with in the 12th Parliament but it continues to give us headache to-date. You may want...

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Speaker, thank you. You know there is nothing more expensive now in this House than being a Member of Azimio. You become a favourite punch bag. To become a Member of ODM is like having gold. Everybody seems to think that good things come...

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, probably the Question should be proposed first before I make my comments. (Question proposed)

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) (Spoke off-record) Hon. Deputy Speaker Let me allow you to make a brief comment. Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for allowing me to add my voice to the Motion despite Dr. Pukose who always wants Questions to be...

Hon. T. J. Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, five minutes is short I may not do justice to this amendment. I want to be the devil’s advocate here. We have agreed as senior counsel. Hon. Otiende Amollo has said that the drafting of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund...

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Speaker, we have successfully gone through a very exciting exercise which is very important to this House. I thank you for guiding us. The Order we are going to step on is equally taxing. Some of us had researched and made ourselves ready so...

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, you now see the kind of problems we have on the Floor. It is not an isolated problem. I think it is good for the Clerk to organise for some technicians to go around checking these facilities. Sometimes we think that we...

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, point taken. I am the last person to misbehave in this House. I have enough years in my distinction and my activity in this House has been fairly distinguished. I am very sorry. I apologise. I really wanted to raise the point....

Hon. TJ Kajwang’ (Ruaraka, ODM) On a point of order!
