• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The other clause which is important in this Bill is Clause 29. In Clause 29, this Bill makes clear provision of performance management system. This is the way to go in this country. We need Kenyans to start appreciating the whole concept of performance management system where we have performance contracting and appraisal of individual performance. By doing that, we will ensure that the targets which have been set for these judicial officers are monitored and evaluated to make sure that they are achieved in time. Where people do not achieve the set targets, then reasons could be provided why ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The other issue is on the Judicial Code of Conduct. This was mentioned yesterday by Hon. Dalmas Otieno. Clause 30 says that every judge of the court shall sign and ascribe to the Judicial Code of Conduct. This is from the supply side that judicial officers will be signing to adhere to their code of conduct but, signing to make sure that you adhere to your code of conduct does not guarantee that you will deliver in terms of your performance. We need an independent review mechanism. This could be within or outside the Judiciary to make sure that we ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, Hon. Speaker, I support with amendments. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support this amendment. When you use the word “psychiatrist”, it becomes more of a mental case. The most user-friendly word is a “counsellor”. You might be having a general problem and not a mental problem. I support the amendment. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment. It is a very good amendment. Paragraph (d) is more attractive to me. It says that:- “(d) prescribe the manner in which the Society may facilitate re- employment or re-retraining of former Members of Parliament”. You realise that once you are out of this Parliament, it is difficult to get employment. People do not like employing politicians. The opportunity provided by sub-clause (d) is very important for former Members of Parliament. It will be possible for them to be re-employed or retrained, so that they can also continue being useful citizens in ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 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
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to also make my contribution to this Bill. I want to start by first appreciating the efforts by Hon. Cecilia Ngetich. It is quite important because this is a private Member’s Bill. Many of us are looking forward to when we will have a Bill like this. She has done a good job. What we need to note is that, as Members of Parliament, we represent the people of Kenya. When a Member presents a Bill like this, I am sure she is talking on behalf of either her ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: This Bill has some important aspects which cannot be ignored. The requirement for a legal framework to regulate the practice and standards of engineering technologists and technicians is quite important. This is because these experts, in their own right, do their work in a very important sector called the construction industry or civil works. One of the interesting things is that Clauses 15 and 16 stipulate the qualifications which are necessary to be registered under this body, either as a firm or as an individual. That is very important because it will make sure that we do not have quacks ... view
• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think from the explanation of the Chairman of the Committee, it is important that we get this clause deleted. But, I am also getting worried because if you remember, initially this Bill had to be taken back to the Committee for re-editing. So, I am surprised even after that serious work by the Committee we still find this kind of thing in the Bill. I think it is important for people to be careful. view
• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support this amendment. From what the Chairman has said, in terms of Kenya Film Commission, that is not the organisation which is supposed to benefit from this amendment. So, I want to support it. view
