  • 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The 10th recommendation talks about the circular dated 18th July 2007, issued by the former Head of the Civil Service and Secretary to the Cabinet, Amb. Francis Muthaura. The circular bars members of the inspectorate from sitting in boards of state corporations unless they are invited. The number of times public officers have used circulars, memos and regulations to disregard Acts of Parliament are several. We need the Committee on Implementation to help public officers understand and appreciate that Cabinet memos or ministerial memos or regulations cannot supersede what is contained in legislation. Under Article 95 of the Constitution, Parliament ... view
  • 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, I would like to request you to use provisions of Standing Order No. 1 to make sure that all the Members in the queue can say something. view
  • 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: As the Vice-Chairman of Bunge Football Club, I would like to congratulate the Kenya Olympic Team for a job well done. I would also like to encourage the Kenya Olympic Team to consider participating in a variety of sports in the next Olympics other than athletics because, that way, we will win more gold medals. Secondly, I would like to encourage the Kenyan team during the next Olympics to brand Kenya properly. Team members should know that their chance at the Olympics is international platforms where you can say everything else you want to tell the world about Kenya. I ... view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Public Benefits Organisations (Amendment) Bill be now read a Second Time. The amendments we seek to make are going to give effect to the Public Benefits Organisations (PBOs) Act which was enacted in 2013. I would like to thank the Members of the House Business Committee (HBC) for giving it priority. It has been lying out there for a long time having been passed in the previous Parliament. It is forward looking and very robust in content. The Bill was supposed to have come into operation upon a Gazette ... view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I do welcome all the pupils in the Public Gallery and hope they can follow this particular important debate. The PBOs Act, which was enacted in 2013, is important because it seeks to regulate the sector that is being worked on by various Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). This Bill is also important for several reasons. First, it creates a federation of various PBOs that will allow any public authority, which has been registered in this country, with the effect of the Bill coming into operation a chance to form a federation of its own liking. ... view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was wondering if 20 minutes is that short. This Bill creates sufficient ground for the Government to work in consultation with PBOs to ensure that various rights are realised. Most importantly, the Act is supposed to ensure that no foreigners work in Kenya if at all the services they want to offer can be offered by Kenyans. They must convince the Authority that the services for which they request expatriates to come are services that are not available to Kenyans, which is a good provision. They will give justification as to whether they think the ... view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate my colleagues for the very kind sentiments when they were responding to this Bill. First of all, I would like to thank Hon. Abdullahi Diriye for doing what I did not do. He was a good Seconder. He elicited the salient points in the Bill, showing what the objectives are and what that Bill helps in totality. I have heard colleagues speak and they appreciate the work that has been done by PBOs; which all of us agree to. I have also heard some dissenting voices speaking to the fact that some ... view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: on two fronts - one at the federation level and another at the authority level. If applied, those kinds of checks and balances will be useful. Thirdly, most PBOs have been coming to communities and environments and working without the members of the public knowing what they are supposed to deliver. With the PBO Act coming into force, they will be able to give information to the various communities in terms of their budgets; what they are planning to do and the timelines in which they are supposed to do so. That sort of accountability will ensure that the communities ... view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Members have spoken to the fact that each time you give authority to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to give effect to Acts; he is always laid back, thus taking away the legislative prowess of the National Assembly. Whereas we appreciate the Executive role of the CS, I think the legislative role of the country should be left to the National Assembly and the Senate so that we can make laws and the CS is only supposed to give effect in terms of implementation. I look forward to the passage of this Bill in Third Reading so that we can operationalise ... view
