• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: If you go to South Africa today, you will know that you will get this Service in Pretoria. In Ghana, you will know that once you land in Accra, you will get a particular institution. So, what is difficult for us to just indicate specifically and say that this is not just an institution going to be used by Kenyans, but by the rest of the world and it should be stationed in Nairobi? The flexibility you are talking about here may not be what we need. In this case, we need certainty over flexibility. I wish to appeal to ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I thank you. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The reason I support this amendment is that there is a new inclusion, which I would like Members to look at even as we debate this. This is the new Clause 6(1)(a) that talks about the fact that these are not handpicked by the CS. They are recruited competitively. So, I also wish to propose something for the future. The penchant in naming where people are going to come from is too outdated. Once we say we are going to use a competitive process, allow the people who are going to do the interviews to determine who qualifies in this ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I sympathise with my colleague, Hon. Washiali. He has a very valid point, but the Board we are establishing has a secretariat. It has a Chief Executive Officer and will have institutions inside the bodies. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my point is that the things that will be accredited are a range of the whole world. There is specialisation of the whole world. There is law, science, arts and agriculture. So, we cannot have all the professions that will be accredited in the Board. Secondly, the Board will have a secretariat. If there is need for specialised expertise, it will be found at the level of secretariat technical work. I want to convince Hon. Washiali that we then hope and believe that when recruiting the secretariat, which will comprise of a CEO and staff of ... view

• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I want to inform Hon. Millie, Hon. Serem and Hon. Rachael. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: This is important because Clause 3 talks about presiding and not about a vice-chair. It is about presiding. So, we are not electing a vice-chair in every meeting. We are only choosing a presiding officer. That is what Clause 3 says. The chairperson shall preside at every meeting and in his or her absence; the members shall appoint one from among themselves to preside. It is not about vice-chairmanship. That is what I want noted. It is about presiding over a meeting where the chair is not there. It is not about vice- chairmanship. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I just wanted to make sure that, as the Chair clarifies…. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Indeed. We are not here to oppose or support anything, for that matter. We are here to enrich legislation. So, if anybody comes with a fixed mind, we miss out. Just to add on what Hon. Millie has said, if the Committee is talking about the general committee of the Board, they are illegal from the word go. The Board can never have any power to establish such committees as they have been talking about outside themselves. I just needed to mention that to the Chair – this Board you are talking about is established as such within this law. ... view
