• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: attach any letters, affidavits or other documents. To me, confidentiality ought to be given particular regard in the matters that have been concluded. If the decision was on a piece of paper and the petitioner regards that as unsatisfactory, the easiest way would be to attach a certified copy of that decision to the petition so that it is clear. Again, the petitioner could say they are not happy with the copy and give reasons. If the matter is pending before a court of law or other constitutional body, there must be something filed in that constitutional court. The document ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: Clause 3(j) states that- “subject to paragraph (n), contain the names, addresses, identification numbers, signatures or a thumb impression of the petitioner or every petitioner, where there is more than one petitioner.” While Clause 3(k) provides that- “contain only signatures or thumb impressions, as the case may be, and addresses and identification numbers written directly onto the petition and not pasted thereon or otherwise transferred to it.” view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: Identification numbers are a legal requirement in our laws. The words there should be “identification card numbers” instead of “identification numbers”. What are these numbers? Are they of a school or an institution? We should do that during the Committee Stage. I think I have talked about Clause 3(l) and I will now move to 3(m) which states that- “In the case of a petition presented by a member of a county assembly on behalf of a petitioner, be countersigned by the member presenting it.” I mentioned about Clause 4 where paragraph (b) provides that a petition to a county ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: I suggest that the schedule in English should also be translated to Kiswahili because we are talking about the right of the ordinary people to petition the county assembly. So we should also have a Kiswahili version which they can read and understand. I suggest that consideration be given to that. Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 4 (5) says:- “A petition shall not be rejected merely because it is not addressed to the clerk of a county assembly.” I wonder why we have this clause at all, when we have made it clear in Clause 3(c) that the Petition should be ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: rather than having this double; whether or not it should be addressed to the clerk. It creates a bit of a contradiction there and needs to be straightened up. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: My last comment is on Clause 5(1) and (2). I would like to know the difference between the two. Is there something missing? I have tried to read them again and see that they are the same. Should one go or was sub-clause 2 aimed at something different? If it was aimed at something different, then maybe some words are missing there. This is because when I read sub-clauses 1 and 2 they are the same. We better look at that. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: Let me put it on record, once again, my utmost appreciation to Sen. Pareno, who is also the Chairperson of my party – let me repeat it so that I am not disqualified in 2022 – for coming up with a very good Bill. This shows that she is concerned with, in particular, the rights of the ordinary people to petition the elected assemblies, in this case, the county assemblies. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in Senate: I support. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I thank you for your understanding. Quite a number of times, I am not being registered. I take this opportunity to welcome Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko as the Senator for Migori County. He is an eminent lawyer and we have been together in the legal profession. Migori County, having so many legal issues to tackle, I am quite sure that through his hands, he will provide the necessary leadership to be able to go through those many legal hurdles that Migori County is facing. view
