• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: However, at (5) we are now proposing that this should be done by the investigating officer. If you look at (5) we are now saying that despite any provisions in this Act, the victim’s statement shall be prepared by the investigating officer and yet, if you look at the nature of this Report, I think the body better suited is the victims’ services agency. So, the coherence of this Bill is going to be a problem if we just pass some of these amendments and I would like my Chair to consider this. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I am just trying to request my Chair to consider dropping Sub- clause 5 because it is coherent with the current (2). view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, by the Chair at 10. Parts (3) and (4) are okay, but (5) basically is a contradiction of the current (2). The current (2) sorts out the issue better because it allows the victims agency, which should then have the expertise to help the victim prepare this statement instead of an investigating officer preparing the statement. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I just want to sympathize with my Chairperson because he is going through these pains because of one very important issue in this country; that officers we charge with work do not work. So, we are being forced to reinstate a law in every other Act that we do. We have to reinstate rights, obligations and responsibilities.

I was just looking at part (b) and I think our public authorities have the benefit of doubt. I was just requesting hon. Kang’ata to leave out the words ‘withheld by the prosecution’ so that the evidence that had been withheld means something that is already negative. Somebody is already doing something wrong. But if you left it at ‘left out’ we will be curing the mischief. I hope hon. Kang’ata accepts that. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support my good Chairman. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support my able Chairman on the proposals he has made. As my Chairman knows, this is one of the things that we want to let the Cabinet Secretary do as part of the duty to ensure that this Bill is implemented. I am just worried about the wording. May be we were pressed for time; the wording could be made better to make the Bill flow in terms of coherence, and so that we talk about providing that the process of implementation is done in a way that can be read coherently. I ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think all of us agree that this Bill is important. But just like 23, Clause 24 is trying to bring in issues that are well taken care of elsewhere. If a person is going to give evidence, he can just ask for permission.

• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: We do not need to put these things here. I would like to request my sister to allow this to go through. I support my Chair on this. view
