• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: When it comes to the political parties, on the Jubilee side, 15 candidates were shortlisted. One individual was disqualified because he is still a public officer. The same was the case with NASA. Therefore, the number of candidates reduced by one, on the NASA side as well as the Jubilee side. This did not affect any imaginations of the law or the way the law is written and, therefore, there was no need to replace the two candidates because everything else was correct, including regional balance, gender and age. The ballot paper will reflect a balance such that you will ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Zein, indeed. I apologise for that. You realise that Mr. Bundi is also quite familiar with what happens in EALA. Therefore, the two will be in a position to show the rest what happens at EALA and the culture there. I urge Members to support this Report. I believe the voting scheduled for tomorrow will be free and fair. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Building Surveyors Bill. This Bill seems to reproduce the Architects and Quantity Surveyors Act in a way, and does not seem to define who a building surveyor exactly is. We have quantity surveyors and building surveyors. If you look at what this building maintenance means, it is clearly work undertaken by architects, builders and quantity surveyors. Though it is a very good Bill, it should come out clearly on what exactly is to be done by who because once you see the work they ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: architects, quantity surveyors and others. We want to avoid a situation where this particular group of people, who are seeking legislation, end up practising under a law which does not entirely cover their scope of work, and end up forming an association which is a duplicate or could easily belong to other associations, as has already been put forward by other Acts of Parliament. There is the issue of registration. It is a board. Definitely, according to the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons, it is clear that it will lead to an extra expense. The country has had a policy ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to reply to this Motion on behalf of the joint committee and on behalf of Hon. Katoo ole Metito who was co- chairperson of that committee with a member from the Senate. First of all, I want to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion in support of adoption of the report of the joint committee and also thank the 10 members of the committee who attended without fail; there was no one time a member was missing every time we were called by the two Clerks. I ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. In the Order Paper, if you look at the Memorandum of the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, you will notice that it is by Hon. William Cheptumo, who is my good friend and my senior in the legal profession. This is a Majority Party sponsored Bill. Would it not have been in order for this particular Bill to have originated from the Leader of the Majority Party? As far as I know, that should have been the order. The paragraph above states that they are not concerned with the counties, but the truth ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the relevance originates from Clause 120 of our Standing Orders, which also refers to Clause 117. It, therefore, means that before we begin we must get it right. In the normal course of events, this should be returned to our registry or the Table Office for correction before it is tabled here and recorded on the Order Paper. Otherwise as it is now, it is illegal and defective and should not have been brought in that form. It should not have been published because it is misleading the public and the House. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: It concerns counties yet here it states that it does not. This concerns the counties. If you look at Clause 120… view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I know it is a Procedural Motion on reduction of publication period and that is what we are dealing with. However, it also refers to Clause 117 of the Standing Orders which, in mandatory terms, must be specified. That is the point I wanted to make. So far, we must get the record right from the beginning so that we stop misleading the public. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. I rise to support it and say that, first and foremost, it is very well balanced. We have now seen an improvement of gender balance in this Chairperson’s Panel. You are aware that these are the persons who will chair the House or act as Speakers when you, the Hon. Deputy Speaker, or the substantive Speaker are not in the House. Of concern is to see, if you are to go by order of seniority in terms of the lawyers, Chris Omulele would ... view
