• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: This Bill amends the Advocates Act, Cap.16. The Bill proposes to amend the Advocates Act to remove the Director of Public Prosecutions from the membership of the disciplinary tribunal in order to avoid potential conflict of interest. In most of these amendments, at a later stage, compromises will be reached. We make laws and amend The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: them, not for individual sectors, individuals and not for today or tomorrow, but for posterity and for the people of Kenya. In one of the amendments on the Kenya Ports Authority Act, Cap.391, the Bill proposes to amend it in order to extend the application of the Act to include inland waterways and ports. That part was not in the KPA Act, Cap.391. The Bill is amending it to make sure that we cover both the inland waterways and we also cover that under the Kenya Railways. This will enable the Port of Mombasa to take over the mandate and ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: There is an amendment on the Kenya Airports Authority, Cap.395. In this, the Bill proposes to amend the Kenya Airports Authority Act in order to increase the number of the independent board members from two to five. That institution has had the challenge of lack of quorum and a case where one or two members chair two sub- committees. So, in order to make sure that there are different independent directors chairing different committees and that the frequent lack of quorum is cured, this Bill wants to increase the number. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the Independent Offices Appointment Act, 2011, No.8 of 2011 is also being amended. The Bill proposes to amend this Act to provide for the appointment of the next senior-most person within the office to perform the function of the office holder in the event of a vacancy. This cures a situation which leads to an organization, based on nepotism and tribalism, having somebody very junior being brought in, in acting capacity. I think that is in the interest of the country. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Political Parties Act, 2011, No.11 of 2011 is being amended. Again, the Bill proposes to amend this Act to clarify the provisions relating to the appointment of the Registrar and the Assistant Registrar of Political Parties. The current provisions are predicted on holding of the first general election under the Constitution, an event which has already taken place. So, both offices are due. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the most controversial, and I want to go on record on this, are two areas. One is Clause 27 on the Public Benefits Organization Act, 2013, No.18 of 2013. I am sure that some NGOs have done great in our country. However, some who are briefcase NGOs have no accountability in terms of resources and operations. As a country, we must move within the confines of the new Constitution of 2010.

• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Government, Parliament and the Judiciary are held accountable, then the NGO community must also be held accountable. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The element of the 15 per cent ceiling might be very outrageous from where I sit because I come from a constituency or region where the NGO community is well pronounced. However, a consensus must be reached. We might reach a consensus at the Third Stage to make sure that the way the Auditor-General brings a report to this House on the Executive, he must also bring audited accounts of the funding of the NGO community in our country. This will ensure that as the PAC and this House debate the Auditor-General’s accounts, individual Members of Parliament can know that ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The ceiling on the 15 per cent is debatable. This is something we can reach a consensus on but the question of accountability in terms of resources and operations is something I am sure the NGO world will agree with me. I had the privilege of working for the NGO community before I joined this great House. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The other controversial element is the one on our famous old friend. That is the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). That is the Sarah Serem led Commission. Sarah Serem has asked for a permanent job. She is now on a job that she does on part time. She is asking for a permanent job. We are now very happy that Sarah Serem and the Commission cannot run away from the 11th Parliament. When it reaches that stage, Members of Parliament have the liberty--- view
