• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: I have read the Bill, but I know that we will come to amendments. Clause 7(3) says:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: “The regulation-making authority shall, in preparing a regulatory impact statement, obtain independent advice as to the adequacy of the regulatory impact statement and of the assessment included in the regulatory impact Statement in accordance with the guidelines.” Therefore, the big question is this. You know that corruption is systemic; and it sometimes comes through the system. When you ask counties to look for somebody to give you independent advice, they are very good. That is why when you look at the proposed law on the creation of the Office of the County Attorney, we are trying to ensure that--- We ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if you are getting independent advice, it will mean that you must consult, advertise and procure. We are aware that when you procure an independent or a private entity, the cost of providing that advice is not small. I do not want to cast aspersions, but Kenyans are aware that when you go to private hospitals and a doctor only asks you: “How are you feeling today;” you might be billed even Kshs5,000 at the end of the day. I agree that there should be independent advice, but let us use bodies like the Kenya Law Reform ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree with Clause 7, on the notification of regulatory statements; that it is the same thing of public participation. It just says that the notice shall include this and that; it shall include a brief statement of policy objectives sought to be achieved by the proposed legislation; state whether the copy or the copies of the data may be obtained or inspected. In the spirit of article 35 and 34 of the Constitution; and media freedom and access to information, because we now have the Access to Information Act---. These are the things the Bill was ... view

• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: to prepare a regulatory impact statement shall notify the residents of the county, of the intended preparations, by notice in the Gazette, County Gazette and in a newspaper of wide circulation within the county” view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Notification of regulatory impact statements. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: That is why I was telling counties that they now have the powers, now that they do not know; they can use community radios and their local media. We thank God that the media space is now open and almost every region in this country has a radio that is run by private companies. It, therefore, makes it easy. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a Bill that is being sponsored by Sen. Were – I stand corrected if I am wrong – on the issue of the County Printer. We now want to make work easier, because if, for example, Elgeyo-Marakwet County Assembly wants to put a gazette notice maybe on the laws that they are passing, they must come to the national Government Printer. The same is true for all other counties, all the way from Kisumu, Nandi to Mandera. Therefore, when the county printer is available and when we have the county gazette, it will even be ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Let me finish with Clause 10, on the Scrutiny of Statutory Instruments by a County Assembly. I agree that we are trying as much as possible to build the capacity of the county assemblies so that they do not become appendices or a rubber stamp of the county executive. We were told by Sen. Faki that the Mombasa County Assembly is facing closure simply because – according to the information that we are getting – of the fight between the County Executive and the County Assembly. The County Executive wants them to rubberstamp, and the County Assembly told them, “No, ... view
