9 May 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Bill proposes to amendment the Districts and Provinces Act in order to empower the Cabinet Secretaries to make regulations to give effect to the provisions of the Act and to clear some of the ambiguities currently existing in this Act. Why we are bringing this is that we have a number of areas in our country where we have disputes with even our neighbouring countries. Cases in point include Migingo Island, the Kenya/South Sudan border and the Kenya/Somalia border. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of ...

9 May 2019 in National Assembly:
As currently constituted, the Act does not give the responsible Cabinet Secretary powers over those issues. So, we want to give them powers so that they can prepare Cabinet Memoranda and effect them. We also want to provide appropriate powers so that the responsible state officers can deal with regional disputes that we face as a country. Next is an amendment on the Merchant and Shipping Act. We decided to do the Third Reading of this Bill on 4th June because this is a matter that the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing is handling.

9 May 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have finished Hon. Kamanda’s business and now he has started a kamukunji despite the fact that he is my good neighbour. On the one on Merchant and Shipping Act, the Chair is conducting public participation. He has gone to Mombasa. He has asked Hon. Speaker to give his Committee more time. So, we have to wait for them. The Bill seeks to amend the Act to exempt Government entities or enterprises from the provision of the Act in furtherance of the public interest of Government policy. The main idea here is that we have an ...

On the amendment relating to the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, the Bill seeks to align the definition of the term “magistrate” with the one contained in the Magistrate Court Act to provide for more clarity on the matter. I am sure Hon. Makali will deal with it. On the amendments relating to the tourism sector, the Bill seeks to amend the Act to include universities among other institutions offering tourism-related courses. With the existence of the Kenya Utalii College Act, other universities, be they public or private cannot offer tourism-related courses. So, this amendment is opening up the sector so ...

9 May 2019 in National Assembly:
The amendment to the PFM Act is from the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). The Bill seeks to amend the Act to empower the PSC to designate by resolution additional accounting officers in the PSC, in addition to the two clerks. You remember when we came in 2013 the only Accounting Officer was the Clerk of the Senate, who was the Secretary to the PSC. This situation was untenable because every decision of the National Assembly had to get approval from the Clerk of the Senate. So, in 2013, we amended the PFM Act and made the Clerk of the National ...

It is a lady who has come. You know he is the leader of a very serious movement. He is looking for members but he should not recruit in the House. He can do that at the lobby.

9 May 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other amendment that will be withdrawn relates to the Kenya School of Law Act. I am sure that the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs will speak on it. On the proposed amendments to the Kenya Legal Education Act, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs had their reservations and, therefore, we will deal with it during the Committee of the whole House.
