• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Committee on Delegated Legislation visited on 21st November, 2018 and the Kisii County Assembly Committee on Delegated Legislation visited on 28th November, 2018. Given that this Committee does not do Bills and stuff like that, we do not carry out any public participation. However, we had a challenge where we thought what was adequate in terms of public participation in our review of statutory instruments that came to our attention. It was the Committee‟s observation that there is no clear framework in terms of what constitutes sufficient threshold for public participation. We recommend that Parliament should fast-track the enactment of ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: There were two stakeholder engagements that we did. As already mentioned, there was the one with the Ministry of Devolution and ASAL Areas, which was reviewing of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The other one was with the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) on the need to involve Parliament in the work of LSK, the need for the Committee to pay close attention to the concept of public participation in law making, collaboration between the Judiciary and Parliament in regulation making and the need to provide a legal framework that allows Kenyan lawyers to practice within the East Africa Community (EAC). ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: We did county visits as well. We visited Trans Nzoia, West Pokot, Busia and Bungoma counties. We had discussions on issues that are impacting in the Committee.

• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: The challenges that the Committee faced include the lack of funding and delays in Exchequer releases. Our recommendation is that Parliament should consider revisiting current guidelines relating to Exchequer releases, with the aim of providing for an effective and efficient mechanism that ensures that the activities of the Committee are funded throughout the financial year. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Another challenge we had was lack of clear feedback from the ministries on processing regulations after pre-publication scrutiny. Our recommendation is that Parliament should consider introducing an amendment to The Statutory Instruments Act of 2013 that provides for--- view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. There was lack of legal and institutional framework on public participation, which as I have already mentioned, can be solved by fast-tracking of the Bill that is in Parliament. The other challenge is that the power allowing the regulatory making authority to gazette or publish regulation before seeking approval of Parliament gives the regulatory making bodies the incentive to ignore Parliament‟s approval. Parliament should consider introducing stringent requirements that obligate the regulatory making authority to forward the regulation to Parliament before gazettement or publishing. The last challenge is that sometimes the Committee lacks quorum. Perhaps, ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Speaker. One of the amendments that are on the Floor of this House as mentioned by Sen. (Eng.) Hargura, it is that the National Assembly actually wants to take away our role. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
