Part VI of the Bill contains provision touching on the limitation of fundamental rights and freedoms of the members of the Service, including the right to privacy, access to information, association, assembly, demonstration, picketing and petition, labour relations, economic and social rights. Part VII contains provisions relating to uniforms of the Service, exemption from execution of public property, next of kin of members of the Service, retaining uniforms and decorations as well as properties of the Service, convening a board of inquiry, secondment of personnel, temporary holding areas, regulations, making of Service standing orders and saving provisions. There are four schedules. The first schedule contains the ranking structure of the Service. The second schedule contains provisions relating to the conduct of business and affairs of the Council. The third schedule contains the oath of office and the fourth schedule contains offences against indiscipline. The Committee conducted public participation as a well as extensive stakeholder consultation. To that end, the Committee noted the following issues: (i) Section II defines territorial waters to include inland waters, internal waters, territorial sea and contiguous zone of Kenya. Inland waters, territorial sea and contiguous zone of Kenya are not defined. (ii) Who has ministerial responsibility for implementation of the Bill? (iii) Should the Service be in charge of drug prevention? (iv) How will the Service harmonise its ranking structures of its members against other persons joining from other public organisations? (v) Whether there is constitutional grounding to set up a paramilitary force parallel to the Kenya Defence Forces and the National Police Service. (vi) Will the Service man internal waters such as lakes and rivers? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
