• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would be useful for the Chair to know that while we were in session on this very important matter, hon. Shakeel Shabir requested to sit in one of the sessions. He is on record having said that after they had gone somewhere in the process of collecting evidence, the process was abandoned, and that when he went back to the Clerk’s Office to consult before appearing before us, he was told, to use his own words, that “the Report of the Finance Committee was shredded”. Unless the hon. Member--- view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: It is directed to your attention, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I have deliberately interrupted because I want to request hon. Keynan to explain to us what he means by the amendment in (c) where he says that sub-clause 5 be amended by deleting the words “two thirds” appearing. When I read the sub-clause as amended, it does not appear clear to me. Could he explain, please? view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, if you delete “two thirds”, it will, therefore, read as follows:- “That in appointing persons as members of the Service, the Director- General and the Council shall ensure that the composition of the Service gender requirement---” What will that mean? After deleting “two thirds”, what is he replacing it with? If he is replacing it with “one third”, then he should say so. Nobody has said so. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose the amendment for the following reason; probably, the hon. Member is mistaking this to mean that you will require a certificate of clearance from NIS. This particular clause does not contemplate a situation whereby you have to be given a certificate of clearance. It simply says confidential information about you is passed over to the vetting authority so that the vetting authority makes an informed decision.

So that members of the force will realize the consequences of making that unpatriotic decision, the punishment must be enhanced. An officer must realize that there is a fine of Kshs5 million and a jail term of ten years or both because in the world of espionage, ... view
