• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to echo the words of the Chair that this being a devolved function, there is need for consultations between the CEC member and the Director-General. I support. view
• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 200 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (f). view
• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Mover should help the House because this new sub-clause is demanding. I do not know whether private bodies are required to give information in the original Bill. I thought this Bill was concerned with giving public information from public bodies. If I have a private company, will I be required by law to provide information about it? The Mover needs to help us understand because that might cause confusion. That is not the intention of the original Bill. view
• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, just as Hon. Gumbo has said, when you look at what the Senate is replacing the earlier statement with, it misses the word “public”. It says “matters of procurement and disposal”. The word “public” is missing. Even as we want to make sure that we do not go for mediation, it is also important that we get the editing and drafting of the Bill done correctly so that it does not go up and down. This could also mean private procurement. The issue Hon. Gumbo is raising is that when you leave out the word “public” ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to support consideration of the amendments by the Senate. I appreciate the fact that out of the four amendments, the Committee is in agreement with three. If you look at the three amendments the Committee is in agreement with, you will find that they are amendments to give the Bill more clarity. The one on definition of “local community” is important because even if you look at the other Bill we were discussing on petroleum, you will find that there was definition of “local community”. It is important that when it comes to ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to support this important Amendment Bill. I want to start by appreciating Hon. Neto for moving this important Amendment Bill. The import of this Amendment Bill is to make sure that the law which was passed by this House and assented to by the President in 2013 becomes operational. It is unfortunate that this House took time, debated the Bill, passed it, handed it over to the President for assent, it was assented to and yet three years down the line this law has not become operational. I do not ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: During the debate, Hon. Members mentioned important issues, activities and aspects of this law. It is on that basis that the House passed this law. Three years down the line, a CS, who as per our Constitution has no mandate to make law, is sitting on this important law just because the law makes a provision for the CS to determine the date and time when this law should come into force. Now that three years have passed, time has come for us to do away with this clause that requires that the CS must determine the date and time ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise also to support consideration of the Senate amendments. Listening to the Chair of the Committee and the Mover of the Motion, I must appreciate the input of the Senate to this important Bill. Just as the Chair said, the amendments were quite a number and only four were not agreed to by the Committee implying that there was value addition in terms of the Senate’s input. This is the spirit we want to encourage for both Chambers to adopt in looking at Bills. That we have only four clauses which will be presented to ... view
