• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Recess, this House orders that, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 40 (3), Business sponsored by the Majority or Minority Party or a Committee shall be accorded priority during morning sittings of Wednesday 25th May and 8th June 2022. Hon. Speaker, as Members would be aware, the House Business Committee had provided reservation of Wednesday morning sittings for Private Members’ Business. I believe that has been the practice. All the other Business by parties and Committees have been reserved for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon sittings. However, what we have experienced in the last two weeks or so, has seen ... view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Children Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 38 of 2021) be now read a Third Time. Hon. Speaker, as I move this Third Reading, I want to recognise the efforts the Members have put in this Bill. This is perhaps the longest Bill that this House has had to consider. It has taken a lot of time and effort. I believe we have had close to five Sessions at the Committee of the whole House uninterrupted. At last, we now have a Bill for the Children of Kenya. So, I want to congratulate ... view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be deleted. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: The issue here is that the proposed provision to clause 5 is arbitrary as it is. We want it to be deleted in total because it is arbitrary, and it seeks to create some unlimited window of opportunity to deny benefits for persons qualified as military veterans under the Act. The Clause seeks to defeat the intent and purposes of this Act without adequate justification. It is one of those things that do not quite fit in because it takes away what has been given in the previous clause and; hence, we should just delete it. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I was following the amendment proposed by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations from the Order Paper. The amendment he is proposing is actually to delete sub-clauses 6(a), (b) and (c) which is part of the definition of who becomes a military veteran. The explanation given is totally different. For the record, we just want to make sure that what the Chair is deleting is also consistent with the explanation because what he is explaining is what I am deleting and not what the Committee is deleting. I do not know ... view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes. That is right. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: So, he can move his amendment for the record. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to thank Hon. Chair for that. I also want to thank Hon. Rasso for alerting us. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move;- THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (2), by deleting the proviso; (b) by deleting sub-clause (3). The Clause is amended with two proposals; (a) by deleting the proviso in sub-clause (2), which basically is saying the objective of this clause is addressed under 6(i)d which presupposes that denial of a veteran to any benefit should only result from being dishonorably discharged. Sub-clause (2) ... view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: the matter. If someone is not dishonorably discharged, they qualify to be veterans without putting other provisos that you abused alcohol or you abused drugs. It is subject to a lot of abuse. I beg to move. view
