• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2017) was constituted by the Speakers of both Houses on 23rd July 2019 for the National Assembly, and 25th July 2019 for the Senate, with a mandate to consider the Bills that had been tabled in the two Houses and had amendments that were not reconcilable when each of the two Houses passed their versions. This is a very brief Report and matter because the clauses that were in contention on this particular Bill were only three, that is, Clauses 8, 11 and ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On Clause 15, the Senate had not provided for the qualifications of a county secretary. This House, in its wisdom, provided for those qualifications and the Senate eventually agreed with us. So, the long and short of it is that of the three clauses, two were introduced by this House and the Senate agreed. The smaller one was introduced by the Senate and we agreed with them. So, really, we do not have to debate what we already proposed and agreed on their part. Hence, I would like to urge that we agree with the Mediation Committee so that this ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a straightforward Bill like I said. We have already debated it. We made some amendments, took it to mediation, the Mediation Committee took our amendments and the Senate agreed. So, we are actually debating what we had debated. It is something I thought would have taken five minutes to just agree with ourselves. There is still an opportunity, probably for one more speaker, in the next Bill I will be moving shortly. With those words, I beg to reply. view

• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: approves the Mediated Version of the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No. 7 of 2017). view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the general debate has taken place within the context of the earlier Bill. I do not wish to go back to the history of how it was referred. This is a very short Bill in terms of what was being mediated because there were only two clauses, that is, clauses 2 and 3. Hon. Kaluma mentioned something on Clause 2. The difference was in terms of communication by the President when a matter on dissolution of a county has been referred to him. There was also the issue of timelines, reports going to the Senate, who ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Senate drew to our attention a nomenclature issue that we used a word that was not consistent with the Bill. We quickly agreed with them. There is an instance where we used the word 'authorization' instead of 'approval'. It is a very small issue which could have derailed the whole Bill, which is very fundamental in laying the structure for dissolution of counties. The modalities are now clear in terms of what happens if the President agrees and the tribunal disagrees; or if the President disagrees and the tribunal agrees. The Bill is now clear. ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I beg to move. I also request Hon. Kaluma to second. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to thank the Members for their contributions and, once again, thank the Committee for the deliberations. Fortunately, I know them. So, next time there is mediation I, at least, know the team to pick. One of the things we have learnt in the course of mediation is that we need a wider training of all Members on mediation. It is not a matter of fighting for who is right or wrong. It is about how we can get the best out the situation. I believe if we do this even across the political ... view
