• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I am most obliged, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me permission to support the annulment of these regulations. view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: When the NTSA appeared before the Committee, it was clear that public participation came out strongly as a matter that they had not exhausted thoroughly. Many statutory regulatory authorities have been taken to court for failure to simply conduct public participation. It is important that Kenyans know what is ahead and before them by way of regulations. In this particular case, there were various issues that further followed other than failure to conduct public participation. One, the fees that were proposed by these regulations were punitive to licence holders, most vehicle owners, drivers and instructors. So, the Committee felt strongly ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, further, the Regulations were a critical case because they require every owner of a private vehicle or driver of a private motor vehicle to undergo fresh driving course every 10 years. We found that unusual in terms of experience and training. We would want to persuade the House that subjecting every owner of a private vehicle to training after 10 years means that even Hon. Members of this House are going to be subjected to a driving test. You can imagine the implication and the impact it would have on persons who have been driving for ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: There is the creation of new centres of inspection in these regulations. The Committee was quite concerned that as the new centres are being created, it is not clear about who should secure the licences and authority to run them. Currently, inspection of motor vehicles is done by the Government. Therefore, that is a matter that needs critical evaluation. We need to know whether it is likely to build capacity or whether it is likely to impact positively or negatively the manner in which licensing of motor vehicles in this country is done. Finally, the instructors, according to these Regulations, ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Regulations are meant to facilitate and not to be prohibitive or punitive. They are meant to facilitate, encourage and support Kenyans in ensuring that good behaviour, discipline and managing of our public affairs are all conducted within the law. Therefore, I was persuaded, as a Member of the Committee, to support annulment of these Regulations. Thank you. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: The problem with the Speaker is… No! The Speaker can never have a problem because…I want to say thank you very much. I was hoping I would do the business you have talked about without catching your eye. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I had pressed the intervention button because I wanted to object to what the Hon. Member for Mvita Constituency, who is now leaving, had said. It was because of his statement. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: He was attempting to direct the Committee to prosecute its business in three minutes. That is why my intervention button was on. The Committee works for the House. While that is so, the House can only have the luxury to determine the way the decision will go after the Committee has worked. That was my concern. I think we should encourage more Kenyans to bring petitions because one of our mandates is to deal with issues of concern to Kenyans. Kenyans need not be educated to bring a petition. Therefore, I support Hon. Mbadi when he says this person must ... view
