• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I beg your indulgence because that is why I was being rather uncouth in my engagements with you. This particular Section 6 on production of data, the Chair did not explain the import of this amendment. This, to me, looks like a very dangerous provision. The Chair is telling us that where the Cabinet Secretary thinks it is in the national interest to… view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, just for the record, as Hon, Nyasuna Gladys Wanga was contending, it is that we have built consensus just like we are trying to do with BBI. We have also built consensus on this one. Consensus only moves the country forward. Therefore, there is a further amendment that Hon. Gladys is doing that creates the proviso that we wanted, so that I am able to withdraw mine. We had already consulted that I will drop mine on the proviso... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I must explain the import of the withdrawal. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: In fact, it is Hon. Nyasuna and the former Chair of the Institute of the Certified Public Accountants, currently the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimunya, that have come to a consensus. Therefore, there has been consensus. I can confirm that we can now be able to protect the trainee accountants. But also for the record, Hon. Chair, we have committed that we will re-look at the Accountants Act wholesomely so that we also… view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was consulting with the Leader of the Majority Party on new sub-section (c), which creates universities specialising in national security issues, so that we have a proviso that says that these specialised universities should be specialised public universities specialising in national security, so that tomorrow we do not have a situation where we will be dealing with private universities. Matters of national universities should be left to public universities. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: The other issue I was consulting the Leader of the Majority Party on is that the amendment, by and large, has the same import as that of the Leader of the Majority Party. However, despite having the same import, mine seeks to create a proviso to provide that despite Section 24(1) the President may, on the recommendation of the Commission through the Cabinet Secretary, and on the advice of the National Security Council, establish public degree awarding universities or institutions specialising on national security issues. It is my view that on matters to do with public security, we ought to ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: As much as I was in consultation when you called me out, I beg to say that with my amendment, if we agree with the Leader of the Majority Party as other Members contribute, we give the President express powers to create such an institute without being hindered by the provisions of Section 24(1). view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in relation to what the former Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Duale, is saying, if you look at the import of what I was saying and Hon. Kimunya’s amendment, you will notice there is also an amendment by the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: No, they are not dropped. Both the Committee’s amendment and Hon. Kimunya’s cover what I wanted to do in my amendment. Therefore, I want to propose that if Hon. Kimunya can move his amendment and the Committee also is able to move their amendment, then I would have to drop mine. If Hon. Kimunya’s amendment goes alone without that one of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, I have no option, but to push on the parts of my amendment that relate to the issues that have not been covered in Hon. Kimunya’s. Therefore, I would like to propose ... view
