• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Statement has been ready for delivery for the last couple of months. I will bring it on Tuesday. view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 107, this House orders that the publication period of the Election Campaign Financing Bill (Bill No. 66 of 2012) be reduced from 14 to 13 days, and view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir I beg to move the following Procedural Motion which I wish to ask that I move in an amended form as provided for in Standing Order No.48. Therefore, the amended Motion would read:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No.111(2) this House resolves to waive the referral period of the Elections (Amendment) (No. 3), Bill (Bill No.72 of 2012) and The Political Parties (Amendment) Bill (Bill No.73 of 2012) to the relevant Departmental Committee. As hon. Members may be aware, the Bills have just gone through the First Reading. They are supposed to have ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very straightforward answer. I am surprised that the Member has not received a copy of the written answer because we sent it to Parliament. I wish he had raised up the matter with me earlier on because I would have provided him with a copy of the written answer. However, be that as it may, if it pleases this House, I would rather answer the Question because it is straightforward and then we take it from there. I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there are many people in the ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the concern is very genuine. We have admitted that there is a backlog. As of last week, I believe we had a backlog of about 36,000 licences. Working at the current rate, we estimated that within a month, we would have cleared a substantial number of that. Recently, this House passed a Bill on the creation of the National Transport and Safety Authority which will take over the responsibility of issuing driving licences from the Registrar of Motor Vehicles as part of reforms to disentangle some of the issues that have been clogging that system. ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, we recognized that weakness, probably five years back when the process of modernizing the driving licences began. However, this is interlinked with modernization of identity cards. There is something called “Integrated Persons Registration System (IPRS)” that should integrate your identity card, driving licence, voting systems and all the other documentation that you have so that you have one unique identifier as a Kenya. We did not want to come up with one item from Transport while other systems were doing something different. However, one of the priorities of the National Transport and Safety Authority ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, we have that intention. As hon. Members will appreciate, the Constitution classifies management of transport affairs as one of the responsibilities of the County Government. In line with harmonizing our laws and our practices with the new Constitution and devolution, we will be moving in that direction in terms of decentralization. It is not just a matter of issuing the licences, but also oversight of traffic management within the counties. This will be responsibility of the County Governments, working together with the national Government. So, that is in progress and it is just a ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will communicate. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will communicate. I am aware that the Attorney-General is in a meeting this afternoon. But he might actually be coming here later on but we will communicate with him so that it comes up on Thursday. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once you have given direction and we have agreed, I thought the matter was supposed to rest there. It is up to me to get the Attorney-General to be here on Thursday to respond to the Question. view
