• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 58 be amended by inserting a new sub-clause (i) "exemption of ship from licensing". view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The reason being that Clause 58 gives the Minister power to make regulations over several issues but no power for regulation on exemption of ships from licensing. This would enable the Minister to have direct discretion. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- Fe bruary 11, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 62 be deleted. The reason is actually that, if you look at Clause 61 you will find that it recognises that you can find incapacity by infancy and other situations and, therefore, recognises that you can go to court and have trustees recognise that. However, if you go to Clause 62, it then creates an incapacity by indicating that you cannot register a trust which, therefore, means that somebody can actually take away the rights of children whose parents have died who may have beneficial interest in a ship if we retain Clause 62. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: So, my reasoning is that if you actually read Clause 61 together with Clause 62, Clause 62 is a dangerous clause in relation to persons who are incapacitated such as children, persons with mental incapacities and that category of persons. So, I propose that it be deleted. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at Clause 61, it gives certain categories of persons the power to deal with interests of children except as per Clause 62. Clause 62 says that we shall not put a trust in the same manner that you can put a mortgage or a lien. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in other words, we are considering the right of ship owners or bankers who are financing as more important than the lives of children. This is very unfortunate for me because it means that if you are a rich adult, you can put a mortgage and a lien. If you are a child, then your interests are precluded under Clause 62 to be put in the form of a charge the same way that you would put a mortgage or a lien. To me, that is really unfortunate. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Hon. Members are consulting too loudly. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the hon. Member in order to suggest that corruption of whatever amount is correct; that if a thief who steals Kshs1,000 then you are better than a person who steals Kshs10,000? Is the hon. Member in order to encourage the House to be corrupt? view
