• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: This Bill also provides for the need to ensure access to buildings, which is important and critical both at the county and national levels. We have heard of incidents where people are burnt in houses because the fire brigade could not make its way. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Clause 5(1)(f) is also important. It provides that- “The CEC member shall facilitate regular inspection of all buildings, roads, streets, lanes, alleys, parking bays and pavements to ensure that they adhere to the prescribed building codes and standards as set out in this Act and any other written law.” view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Clause 5(2) states as follows- “The county executive committee member shall, in the performance of the functions under this Act, make provision for the access and use of buildings, roads, streets, lanes, alleys, parking bays and pavements by persons with disabilities in accordance with Section 21 of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 2003.” view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: It will ensure that the provisions for the buildings and facilities are friendly for the PWDs. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Under Clause 6, it says- “Each county government shall construct and maintain streets, lanes, alleys and other means of accessing properties in the county.” This is important. It hinges directly on the issue of security. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Most of the things that have been talked about in this Bill should be part and parcel of the infrastructure of organizations. They should ensure that roads, parking bays and buildings adhere to the provisions to ensure that things run in an orderly manner and in a way that promotes better interaction, business, cohesion and everything else that is important. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Clause 9 is also important. It talks about provision of zebra crossings where pedestrians should use to cross major roads. There is also a Clause that talks about parking of vehicles like lorries. It provides for where motor vehicles can park and where they cannot. There is need to have a provision on orderliness in the control of vehicles in and out. There is also the aspect of security and who will take care of the specific cars in the specific areas they have parked. All that needs to be put into consideration. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Clause 16 is on spot. We need to have responsibilities of CECs in each Act. When we were in Uasin Gishu, we met CECs while dealing specifically with issues of tourism. When they came, you could see a different interpretation of their roles. When everybody was asked what their role was regarding certain matters, they gave their own interpretation. I think this is a candid way of infusing some of the key responsibilities of the CECs, which should be done through some of the Bills that we come up with. That is what will create uniformity within the various counties. ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: As I wind up, I congratulate Sen. Olekina. I hope there will be no confusion in the Bill which is on the Floor of the House. I hope there will be no clashes about whether this is a money Bill. As he navigates the monetary aspect, Sen. Olekina needs to also look at funds that will come directly from the county and whether the national exchequer will be involved because it might move the direction of a money Bill but it does have to go that way because counties will generate all this. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: This Bill is spot on. There is clarity, provision for penalties and I think I also saw a transition Clause, that immediately this law comes into operation, it needs to be acted upon. All that has been put into place and I think we have something that we will be remembered for as Senate, which is creating the much needed order in the counties. view
