Abstract
Description
The first collection of Speakers’ Considered Rulings in the Parliament of Kenya was compiled in 2004. They were intended for the use of the Speaker, other presiding officers, and the Clerks-at-the-Table who are required to advise presiding officers on the rules and practices of the House. It focused on rulings made by Speakers Sir Humphrey Slade, Fred Mati, Prof Jonathan Kimetet arap Ng’eno, Kiprono arap Keino and Francis Xavier ole Kaparo between 1963 and 2007. Efforts are being made to compile rulings made by colonial presiding officers (who before 1948 included Governors) and Speakers of the Legislative Councils between 1907 and 1962.
This edition is a compilation of selected ‘National Assembly Speakers’ Considered Rulings and Guidelines’ issued by Speaker Kenneth Marende during the 10th Parliament. The National Assembly Speakers’ Considered Rulings and Guidelines provides an easily accessible collection of rulings and other important precedents, often quite helpful when a matter arises in the course of a sitting. The rulings and guidelines provide an extract deemed useful in a readily usable form. It is not itself an authoritative source. That source instead resides in the pages of the Hansard.
This edition includes considered rulings given up to the dissolution of the Tenth Parliament. The rulings are grouped per Session. This edition is a full presentation of the text of the rulings as given by the presiding officers. And for ease of reference, we have included the dates the rulings and guidelines were issued, both in the Table of Contents for each Session and also in the text of each of the ruling or guideline. To ensure clarity and to ease search, we have also reviewed some of the titling of the rulings. We hope the future compilations of considered rulings and guidelines shall be serialized, indexed and where possible thematically grouped.
