Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, when we discussed with the Minister on this one, he convinced us that the Director-General will not be at such a level that will need parliamentary approval. Therefore, I withdraw this amendment.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, in fact, if you look at the Constitution, there is a clear provision on how administrative action should be taken, and the manner in which you are supposed to get reprieve in case an administrative action has been taken by an officer and there is mal-administration. We have even passed here a human rights committee – the Administrative Justice Commission - that will be dealing with the issues. So I want to agree with Mr. Imanyara that we will really be prolonging the appeals process. In fact, for me, I would like to see the Cabinet ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General is not addressing himself to that particular case. He is talking about a policy of decongesting prisons, among other things. We are talking about Joel Mbugua and not about the policy of decongesting prisons. We want to know the following from the Attorney-General: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Section 49 of the Constitution, which he taught me about as my professor in law, talks about the Rights of the Accused Persons. You said, at that time, because there were similar rights of the accused persons, that, under Section 49 of the Constitution, an accused person, ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order on an entirely different matter. However, it involves the entire House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is within the knowledge of the public that Members of this House, 209 of them have been served through advertisement in the public dailies in the case of one Rev. Timothy Njoya as concerns matters touching on taxation. The impact of this is that adverse orders could be made against each and every Member of this House given the fact that already service has been effected by way of advertisement on each of ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the National Police Service Commission will be the employer of all police in the entire country. It will be the human resource arm of the entire police service and what I find very difficult to understand is that the Minister has either omitted or forgotten to emphasize the real problem that there is when it comes to recruitment, appointments, transfers and promotion of police officers. Practically speaking the Commission has said, and I ask the Minister to look at the top of page 850; this is Clause 10 (2). It says that they can delegate ...
