• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The CS for Defence, as the Chairperson of the Defence Council, remains responsible for policy formulation. The function of the CS is to formulate policy. Parliament exercises a critical function of oversight over KDF. It retains the constitutional function assigned to the CS over the KDF through legislation. All the legislations, policies and regulations which will come to Parliament will be under the direction of the Cabinet Secretary (CS).

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: but the accounting officer responsible to Parliament is the PS and not the Chief of Defence Forces. The Chief of Defence Forces will be in-charge of the daily operational command of the KDF. The funds used to facilitate the work of KDF are managed by the Ministry through the accounting officer. It is being made clear that the CDF is not an accounting officer and does not hold or keep financial records. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Once this law is passed, the oversight role of the Ministry of Defence will lie with the accounting officer who is the PS. Clause 5 seeks to amend the existing Clause 11. Again, this is to remove the ambiguity of delegation of powers of the CS to the Chief of Defence Forces and a member of the KDF.

This is to create clarity between the role of the Chief of Defence Forces, CS, ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill has gone through the Committee and Clause 30 seeks to amend Section 2(13) by reducing the mandatory rank of the Director of Military Prosecution from a Brigadier to any one not below the rank of a Major. This is to avoid the possibility where there is no officer of the rank of a Brigadier to perform the function of the Director of Military Prosecution. So, it further seeks to extend that office. It should not only be pegged at a Brigadier level, any other officer can take that role. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 31 seeks to amend Section 243 to increase the retirement age by two years to 64 years. The retirement age of officers in the KDF is pegged on rank.

Clause 33 seeks to grant the Defence Council the opportunity to consider application for resignation of commissioner or request for discharge and to provide that resignation takes effect after receipt of the communication from the Defence Council. Because of many reasons that clause deals with ... view

• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to take this opportunity again to thank our men and women in uniform for the role they play when they are called upon to deal with a matter locally and when they are called upon to defend our external borders. I am sure when history will be written, the KDF will be remembered for the contribution they have made to stabilise part of Somalia. I am sure that with their colleagues from the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), one day they will pacify and stabilise Somalia and it will join the countries that are enjoying democracy. view
