• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I do not want to even speak as a Member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK). The Chair of the Committee brought an amendment in which we deleted the words “the relevant field” and replaced it with specific qualifications. First of all, the amendment that Hon. Kajwang’ seeks to bring under Clause 22(b) has already been overtaken by events because the words “relevant fields” were deleted by the Chair. We passed that amendment. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: The first one of inserting the word “planning” after the word “degree”, I am not sure where he is adding it unless he is doing it after. If he is introducing planning so that we have engineering, accounting, law, survey or management and planning, then that is different. However, if we allow his amendment as it is, it will read, “inserting engineering, accounting, law, survey or management planning”. That is what the amendment will do. It is not crafted to continue in the spirit of the first amendment. It is a fresh amendment. It is not a further amendment and, ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: ( Inaudible) view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I am obviously concerned that Hon. Kajwang’ is misleading this Committee. If he stuck to his amendment, it becomes very clear that his amendment is trying to remove everyone else. The new law would read: “The person holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Planning, Civil Engineering”. That is what his amendment is trying to do. The amendment will only be inserted into the law as it is here. When you insert this amendment into the current Bill, it will read: “Holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Planning, Civil Engineering, Master’s Degree from…” The Chairman has already amended all that. The ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: He is now confusing us. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I have listened to Hon. Kajwang’ and he has done a very good job in trying to prosecute a case for people to be fairly compensated. Unfortunately, he is bringing the amendment in the wrong clause. I would like Hon. Kajwang’ to have the Bill. Sub-clause 6 says that compensation shall be payable by a road Authority to the owner or the occupier of land for any damage done to buildings, crops or otherwise in the exercise for damage. You are amending sub clause 6. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Sub-clause 6 of Clause 48, which he is seeking to amend, refers to compensation arising out of damage. It does not at all refer to compensation arising out of acquisition. So, we are using the right tools, but to amend the wrong clause. I think we should give him an extra opportunity to amend that clause at some appropriate point in future when he will amend the right clause. As far as I am concerned, whatever he has brought is null and void to the extent that it is seeking to amend a clause that does not need amendment in ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I hear the comments by Hon. Musimba. However, I believe that the amendment coming here is to facilitate the provisions for roads being done in future using a PPP framework where we would then have to allow a private investor, who does a road that is not being done by the national Government, to recoup his investment through tolling. That has nothing to do with the existing roads that have been constructed through national funding. That is the difference between the Thika Superhighway, for example, and a road that might be done between Kipipiri ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I had actually sought to assist Hon. Kajwang’ with the interpretation of the institutions because the Bill, after the amendment, will refer to regulations made by the National Treasury. What Hon. Kajwang’ now wants to do is to change that to regulations made by the CS responsible for the National Treasury. The National Treasury is a bigger institution than the CS. We need to look at the bigger picture that regulations made by the National Treasury go beyond the work of a specific individual being the CS for the National Treasury. There is an institution and ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I can now appreciate why Hon. Kajwang’ is confusing himself. He is limiting his thinking to his own amendment which has not even passed. An amendment that has passed was very clear, that as the matter stands, it is “regulations made by the National Treasury.” What Hon. Kajwang’ is trying to further amend is now to remove reference to the National Treasury and bring in the CS responsible for matters of the National Treasury. All we are now saying is I would rather stick with the National Treasury than with the CS in charge of the ... view
