• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Since my time is running out, there is one thing I would like to speak to - Clause 34. Clause 34 speaks to a person who commits an offense if he publishes any false or scandalous libel from parliamentary proceedings. Members of the Fourth Estate ought to take that seriously if at all this Bill will pass and see the light of day. Half the things and what is defamatory or libelous if at all you tune in the proceedings of Parliament in a way that Parliament does not anticipate. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would have wished to speak some more but because time is running out and Members want to speak. I support and hope that we will make suggestions for amendments. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support that the deletion takes effect. If you see what Clause 9 was doing, it was putting all manner of defence which in essence, would have negated the whole content of the Bill. Ignorance would have then been used to deny the prosecution under this particular Bill. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I support. Thank you. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, whereas I would like to support this particular amendment, I do not think Hon. Gethenji gets it right because the word that is being deleted is not “Judge” but “magistrate” so that you are ousting the jurisdiction of the magistrate but leaving that of the judge. That is what he ought to understand. If that is the spirit, I support but if it is not, then I might then reconsider. view

• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, unless the Order Paper I have is wrong, even Clause 11 speaks to the oustering of the powers of the magistrate while reinstating those of the judge. The same is carried in Clause 13. Let me read what my Order Paper says: “by deleting the words “or magistrate” appearing after the word “judge”. So if you are deleting the words “or magistrates” simply means you are leaving the word “judge”. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If you look at Clause 11, it reads in part in 11(b) we are seeking to delete the words “or magistrate” appearing immediately after the word “judge”. My understanding of that English is that the word that is being deleted is “or magistrate” and the same is carried to Clause 13. I just think that Hon. Gethenji in his explanation seeks to do the reverse. He is explaining to us that we are deleting “judge” and leaving “magistrate”. So, if he wants to ouster the jurisdiction of magistrates that is clear. But if at ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if indeed what Hon. Gethenji is saying is what the Committee was thinking to do, that is, removing the jurisdiction from judges and instead giving it to magistrates, I will be opposing that amendment. I would be opposing it because the authority that has been sought is asking people to enter premises by force, which is a violation of peoples’ right to property. We do not want that jurisdiction to be given to magistrates. That would be too huge a role. Given that this Bill is supposed to give effect to the Ottawa Convention on Anti-Personnel ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, whereas we have been opposing proposals by the Chair, I do think we can let him have this. This is because Clause 16 that we have spoken to already alludes to where you get authorization of the fact-finding mission. Whereas there is an attempt to define its various sections, the fact that it is referred to the apparent convention, you can easily make a cross reference. If you let him have Clause 16, then you can let him have this particular deletion at Clause 17(5). I support him on this one. view
