• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It sounds very nice, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The expression “promote positive traditional culture and not repugnant to justice and morality” sounds very nice, but in this context it is misplaced. I oppose. 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
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on the fact that the repository should lie with the Kenya Copyright Board. That is in order. However, I oppose part (b) of the amendment and I agree with Hon. Sunjeev that conservation and promotion go together. Deletion of the words “and conservation”, as proposed in part (b) of the amendment, is uncalled for. Thank you. view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wanted to oppose this Bill, but my very good neighbour, Hon. Oner of Rangwe, sneaked in amendments that the Committee is planning to move on this Bill. With those amendments in mind, I will be contributing in the negative, although I will be supporting the Bill. I appreciate that this Bill is very important to pastoralist communities and people who have been having community land held in that manner. This Bill has major flaws, which take away the gains that would otherwise help such communities. Communities who have been holding land will lose it. I speak on ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The second thing is the definition of “community of interest”. I have read the fact that Article 63(1) of the Constitution does not respect community of interest, which does not mean only interests in land. The community of interest that this particular Bill tries to seek to define only limits the definition of “community interest” as those that are inherent in land. Some of these things need to be tidied up. If the particular definitions are not tidied up, the Community Land Bill will fall on its face because people who are not communities will become community land owners. We ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: people who believe and hold a culture, and who are supposed to be enjoying their freedom and moving around. That is why I think it ought to be community land. So, because I had proceeded on a level that was to oppose the Bill, I will be helping in the tidying of this Bill when it comes to the Committee of the whole House, to try and arrange our thoughts in a manner that gives effect to the pastoralist communities. I am happy that the Hon. Member for Narok mentioned communities like Isahakia and a couple of other communities. People ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to start from where you have stopped. First, I would like to oppose the Report and the reason--- view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope you will give me an extra minute to cater for my time which the Member for Bondo has “eaten” into. First of all, I would like to be on record as opposing the Report. I would like to draw your attention to Section 15(1) and (2)(a) of the Transitional and Consequential Provisions that Hon. Duale has just read. If you permit me, let me read word for word what it says:- “(1) Parliament shall, by legislation, make provision for the phased transfer, over a period of not more than three years from ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: election of county assemblies, from the national Government to county governments of the functions assigned to them under Article 185.” “(2) The legislation referred to in subsection (1) shall— (a) provide for the way in which the national Government shall— (i) facilitate the devolution of power; (ii) assist county governments in building their capacity to govern effectively and provide the services for which they are responsible; and, (iii) support county governments.” This particular section does not, in any way whatsoever, speak to how long TA ought to be in office. The section only says that the legislation shall give power ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: to the Constitution did not anticipate. Section 15(2)(c) of the Transitional and Consequential Provisions of the Constitution says:- “The legislation mentioned to in subsection (1) shall permit the asymmetrical devolution of powers to ensure that functions are devolved promptly to counties that have the capacity to perform them but that no county is given functions it cannot perform.” That is the reason for creating TA. If at all the first interpretation is true, that you are saying by dint of the Constitution the term of TA has lapsed, can we, as a House that makes law, then leave devolution issues ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I know it is not possible and proper to call anything else TA and again, you cannot be in transition forever. For a fact, we need an arbiter for devolution; someone who will be sitting in the summit of Governors and the Presidency, and one who takes care of devolution interests. With those particular interests and my understanding and interpretation, I would like to oppose this particular Report. Unless, the Committee, for example, amends it in a manner that shows how the functions of the TA are going to be carried out by another body and not by an Intergovernmental ... view
