• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you because what I am saying here is of immense interest and benefit to this country. I am happy to inform the Members that the process has remained on course and on schedule. Indeed, all the timelines have been met and for this reason, I would like to thank and congratulate the Members for their demonstrated dedication to making the new Constitution work. It is my pleasure to present the details of the enactment of the new laws in the table that is appended to my Statement. If I can go into some ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to County Governments Bill, 2011, all of us will remember that the Bill has been referred back to Parliament by the President and I think there is legislative action that is pending. Had it not been for the fact that the Minister for Finance is out of the country, perhaps, he will be dealing with the matter of the necessary extension which has now become mandatory. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on urban areas and cities, we all remember that we enacted the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011 within time. With regard to the Contingencies Fund, we enacted the Contingencies Fund Act, 2011 and its status is that it is proposed to be repealed by the public---- I beg your pardon. The Contingencies Fund Act is supposed to be repealed by the Public Finance Management Bill, 2012. That Bill is currently before the House. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to loan guarantees, the National Governments Loans Guarantee Act, 2011 has been enacted. It is proposed to be repealed by the Public Finance Management Bill, 2011, which is also currently before the House. Within 18 months - and I think this important - there are things that we know we have to do. The Land Registration Bill, 2012, as well as the National Land Commission Bill--- All the land Bills have actually been enacted. So, Parliament, as per Article 261 of the Constitution, extended the time required for the passage of that legislation by 60 ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also have to deal with the removal of the county governor. That matter was actually referred back to Parliament by the President. That is a specific matter under the County Governments Bill. With regard to the Assumption of Office of the President Bill, 2012 - and this is a very important matter--- On this particular Bill, the Attorney General will actually confirm some of the matters that I am referring to when he takes the Floor. This is awaiting publication. It is so important that we prepare for smooth transition of Government upon the retirement of ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the Judiciary Fund, this was also enacted. We did enact the legislation regarding this. This is supposed to be before August this year, but we have actually enacted the same and the matter has been addressed in the Judicial Service Act of 2011. That is because this Judiciary Fund is actually covered under that. The Chief Justice has prepared for gazettement of the regulations of the operation of the Fund. Basically, because there was specific mention of the Judiciary Fund --- All I am saying is that it has been covered under the Judicial Service Act ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: With regard to financial control, this matter is also before Parliament. The matters are addressed in the Public Finance Management Bill, 2011, which is currently before the House. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to national security organs - and this where my hon. colleagues were referring to – and, more specifically, the National Security Council Bill, 2012, the same is actually before the CIC. I can say the same about the National Intelligence Service Bill, 2012. Those Bills are now with the Kenya Law Reform Commission, as well as the Attorney General and the CIC. They are actually seized of that very important legislation. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the command of the National Police Service, the due date of which is 26th of August this year, the National Police Service Act of 2011, which has already been enacted---- I can say that a select panel to advertise, receive and shortlist persons for the position of the chairman and members of the Police Service Commission has been constituted. The Selection Panel has shortlisted six nominees and forwarded their names to the Speaker of the National Assembly. They are now being considered by the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the Independent Policing Oversight Authority Act, 2011, members will recall that, that has already been enacted. The Select Committee has forwarded the names of persons shortlisted for the position of the chairperson and members of the Authority to the Principals for nomination. I think that has already happened. view
