• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I speak on behalf of the Chair of Budget and Appropriations Committee. We were actually in a day-long sitting. I want to say that on that point, it is something that has been taken as a matter of priority and concern by that Committee. I want to assure hon. Linturi that this particular issue is having due attention and concern it deserves. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done right now. But in the Supplementary Budget, there could be something coming that way. I will take your concerns to the Chair as well. I ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, yesterday, when this amendment Bill was being debated, hon. Members realised that the problem was much bigger than the operationalisation of the Act. We want to look at the entire AFA Act. Initially, it was “ALFA Bill” but when we amended it and excluded the livestock sector from it, it became the AFA Bill, which subsequently became the AFA Act. We want the Committee to have a period of one year to look at the entire Act and deal with all the stakeholders. Therefore, I support hon. Chepkonga’s amendment. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with regard to procedure, the issue at hand is the Committee of the whole House. Hon. Members know very well that when we are in the Committee of the whole House, whether you are Member of the Committee or not, you are allowed to bring an amendment. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, the issue of a Cabinet Secretary is neither here nor there. That should not be the matter for this House. Any amendment should be debated and then the Chair should put the Question and it is either carried or not. I know that the amendments belong to the Committee, but the moment it becomes a matter of a Committee of the whole House--- view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the original Bill was reading “The Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority Act, 2013, but I think when they were printing, they forgot and said “The Agriculture, Fisheries Food (Amendment) Bill, 2013.” That is the only thing. The old Bill had the word “Authority”. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief because I contributed to this Bill yesterday. This is a very fundamental Bill. In my appeal, it is very unconstitutional. That is why this Bill was called “AlFA”. Those of us who come from the livestock producing areas and were in the last Parliament removed the aspect of livestock. Today, it is called “AFA Act, 2013”. I urge the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives, in the interest of Kenyan farmers, to make use of the six months window. If they feel that they can bring an amendment because they feel ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Proceed, Leader of Majority Party. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I want to say that it is very very sad that the House is empty when we are discussing a very important financial related Bill. The Capital Markets Act, Chapter 485A of the Laws of Kenya is what we are amending. We are amending it so that we get a more reformed regulatory body. Why do we want to amend, before I go to the section? A lot of recommendations will always come from the Committee and Members of Parliament. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: From the outset, it is very sad that the CMA has no substantive Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for over eight to nine months. In fact, it is a year. It is very very sad. The former Minister for Finance, the hon. Robinson Githae was given three names by the board and he decided to go home with those names. It is very very sad and he lost the elections. We even do not know those three names but I hope the new Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury should fast track and give this institution a substantive CEO. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the amendments are mainly geared to improve the regulatory aspect of it. Secondly, the amendments are geared to promote Kenya as an investment destination choice. We cannot talk of promoting investments both domestic and international if we are not going to amend and reform our CMA. view
