31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Without anticipating debate on Order No.10, out of the three constitutional Bills that have been published, only the Persons Deprived of Liberty Bill, 2014, does not concern county governments. In this regard, it is our hope that we can fast-track the Bill since its passage will not involve the other House. Regarding the Environmental Management Coordination (Amendment) Bill, 2014, the Public Service Values and Principles Bill 2014 and, indeed, the other unpublished constitutional Bills, I have no doubt that the Committee on Implementation of the Constitution of this House will be briefing the House at an appropriate time on the ...

31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I need your guidance and direction before you put the Question on the Kenya National Aids Authority Bill, National Assembly Bill No.2 of 2014. There are two Bills before this House and they look very similar. One is from the Committee and it is called “The Kenya National Aids Authority Bill, 2014” while the other one is from hon. Jared Opiyo which reads, “The Kenya Aids Control Authority Bill”.

31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this House cannot waste public resources. Members of this House cannot also have the privilege to enact law in whichever form they want. I seek for your direction that before these two Bills come to the House for the Third Reading, the Chair of the Committee must consult with the Member and one harmonized Bill is brought before the House. We look very bad in the eyes of the public that we can pass two similar Bills in content and both are forming two Aids Control Authorities. Which Bill will be assented to unless there are two different ...

31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I beg to support and second this Procedural Motion. These two Bills – the Environmental Management and Coordination (Amendment) Bill, 2014 and the Public Service (Values and Principles) Bill, 2014 – relate to county governments and the National Assembly should do its part before the Bills are passed to the Senate. That is the core of the Procedural Motion. The Environmental Management and Coordination (Amendment) Bill 2014 is a voluminous Bill and it seeks to amend the current Environmental Management and Coordination Act of 1999, while the Public Service (Values and Principles) Bill 2014 is as a result ...

31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, before I go to the Bill, from the outset I want to clarify we have removed the contentious amendments relating to the regulation of funding to NGOs by foreign bodies. Therefore, this Bill does not contain that. Hon. Speaker, I have also written to you and I am going to lay the letter on the Table, indicating my intention to withdraw all amendments relating to the Public Finance Management Act in this Bill. Following consultations, I am informed that these amendments affect county governments. Therefore, they ought to be considered by both Houses. Hon. Members will recall that ...
