• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This was very short, but expected. As you have heard from those who have spoken to this Motion, there was no public participation and the lead agencies were never consulted. The people who would be affected by these Regulations were never consulted. It goes without saying that even Members of Parliament know that nothing was done by the regulatory authority. As such, we agree that these Regulations should be annulled in their entirety. I beg to reply. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon Speaker. I would not have put it any better than what my Chairman has said. The gist of this Motion is the Biashara Fund that the Government wanted to create to amalgamate the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Fund and the Youth Enterprise Fund. You will appreciate that these are Funds that are meant to cater for the ordinary mwananchi in the village. The Uwezo Fund is overseen by the Members of Parliament, but the Executive in its wisdom or lack of it, desired to collapse these three Funds into one known as the Biashara Fund. The ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: In our submissions, we thought that they were outrightly either ignoring the Committee and Parliament for that matter, or they were actually not interested in pertinent issues raised by Members. In short, we realised that there was minimal public participation. The only body that 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
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: they quoted having consulted was the Committee on Delegated Legislation. These are Funds that will impact on many Kenyans; Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities (PWD), yet they did not care to consult them. This is a clear contravention of the Constitution, which behooves that anybody making regulations must particularly consult the people who will be affected by them; but they found it unnecessary to consult or get input from these people. Having come to that conclusion, we found out that the Executive really wanted to cut out Members of Parliament from running these Funds. Therefore, without having consulted widely, ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Committee’s Report on its consideration of the Crops (Fibre Crops) Regulations, 2020 (Legal Notice No.120 of 2020). The main purpose of this Committee is to check the excesses of the Executive. Once we pass general pieces of legislation in this House, the Executive is given the work to prepare Regulations, but in many occasions, you find that whatever regulations are prepared are contrary to the mother Acts and the Constitution. You will appreciate that there is a constitutional provision that says that any regulation-making authority must consult the public. ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: - THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Draft Election Campaign Financing Regulations, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 5th August 2021, and committed to the Committee on Delegated Legislation for scrutiny. Hon. Speaker, these Draft Regulations provide the principles and objects of the campaign financing regulations, including consideration of persons who bear duties under the Act; powers of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and composition and registration of the right persons as provided by Section ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg your indulgence. I beg to move: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Draft Elections Campaign Financing Regulations submitted by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on 5th August 2021, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 17th August 2021; and that, pursuant to the provisions of Articles 10, 118 and 259 of the Constitution, the Interpretation and General Provisions Act (Cap. 2), Sections 5, 12, 18, 19 and 29 (2) of the Election Campaign Financing Act, 2013 and Section 18 of the ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The background is that in 2016, the IEBC submitted a set of regulations relating to the campaign financing, which did not conform to the Constitution, the Elections Campaign Financing Act and the Statutory Instruments Act, which were hence annulled by Parliament. The House then rejected the draft Regulations relating to Campaign Financing 2016 as they contravene Section 5 of the Elections Campaign Financing Act, 2013. It resolved that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs introduces relevant legislations to amend the appropriate sections of the Elections Campaign Financing Act, 2013. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: On Thursday, 5th August 2021, the draft Regulations were laid before this House and committed to the Committee on Delegated Legislation on the very same day for scrutiny. The Committee met IEBC on Wednesday, 11th August 2021 where it confirmed that the draft Regulations, 2020 are the same ones that had been submitted to this House in 2016 without any amendments and, hence, failing to factor in any changes that might have occurred in between 2016 and 2021. The Elections Campaign Financing Act, 2013 which was suspended for the 2017 elections and which, therefore, commenced on 12th August, 2017, places ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The Committee further noted that the Commission hurriedly concocted a quick draft with the title reading “2020” and citations with the same regulations of 2016. It submitted them to the National Assembly out of time which not only demonstrates unpreparedness in their race against the statutory timelines, but also offends Section 13(m) of the Statutory Instruments Act, which requires the Committee on Delegated Legislation to check during scrutiny if the Regulations contain drafting errors or other elucidations. view
