Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose this amendment especially on 1A which says: “For the purpose of effective hand-over, a judge shall report at the new duty station within three months from the date on which he or she was notified of the transfer.” Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in the amendment the word used is “within” but the Chairman of the Departmental Committee used the word “at least”.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have no problem with subclause (1B) but I have a problem with subslause (1A). I was just consulting Hon. Kaluma, to confirm whether what I heard the Chairman of the Departmental Committee say is true. Is it “within three months”, or “at least three months”?

From your explanation, you said “at least three months” meaning you must be in the station for three months and that is what I was opposing. Generally, if you are transferred and you have cleared all your cases, you should move immediately.

I agree with “within three months”. For your information, being transferred from Kisumu to Mandera should not be seen as a punishment. Mandera is within Kenya. If you are transferred and you have no pending business---

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the amendment. From what Hon. Prof. Nyikal has said, it is clear to all of us that training on emergency medical care is important. If you look at this country, there are a lot of issues which result to emergency cases. For example, the many reported road accidents would lead to emergency cases. At times, there are also fire outbreaks which lead to emergency cases. We have terrorism activities or acts which also result to emergency cases. At times, we have animal attacks. As Hon. Prof. Nyikal has rightly put it, ...

When you look at the way this Motion was earlier framed, it is a matter of only training. However, that particular emphasis on training on emergency medical care so that you broaden the curriculum was not coming out clearly. That is why this amendment is important. It opens the training so that people are trained on this emergency medical care, irrespective of what level they are in. They could be nurses, people at the lower level of medical profession or doctors. Therefore, once they get the training, they will apply those skills. As a result of that, they will save ...
