• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Legislative Assembly. Under Clause 2, the Committee proposes that the Bill be amended in the definition of “indiscipline” and in (d) by inserting the words “on account of disciplinary proceedings” after the word “practice”. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: The justification of this amendment is because this definition fails to contemplate that it is possible for a lawyer to be restricted or limited to practice on account of reasons other than disciplinary proceedings. For example, where a lawyer in good standing, but who has not taken a practising certificate, is practising. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: That Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in the definition of the “disciplinary record” by inserting the following words immediately after the “e”: “(f)” any other orders to pay fine and/or costs, compensation or reimbursement. The justification is to cover all orders possible for issuance upon conviction of professional misconduct. That Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in the definition of the “practising certificate” by deleting the words “issued by registrar to an advocate authorizing him or her to practise in any of the partner States” and substituting therefor the words “be issued in accordance with the rules ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is only that there were a number of legal technicalities that I thought I should point out. However, I appreciate that Members are able to respond to the issues that I have raised. Therefore, the issues that we propose to be amended, in summary, under the East African Community Cross Border Legal Practice Bill, 2014, are on definitions as I have stated under the register; each partner State should maintain its own register. We have also proposed that Clause 4(2)(a), after consultations, be amended to ensure gender parity. I believe all of us understand why ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: proposes that the title of the Bill be amended to read as follows: “The East African Community (Civic Education) Bill, 2014”. We have annexed the various statutes, or the Bills, that were sent to us by the East African Legislative Assembly. We have also annexed copies of the documents that we received from the various institutions and the minutes of the Committee that show that this was a unanimous decision, and the report was approved by the Committee as tabled in the House. With that, I request a Member of the Committee, hon. Ouma Ochieng’, to second this Motion. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, may I, at the outset, thank all my fellow hon. Members who have supported this Report. As East Africans, we believe that this is a good Report. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to just point out some issues which have been raised by hon. Members on the Bills. Hon. Members will notice that the Bill on Education, in particular, seeks to deliberately deal with civic education. We have proposed an amendment to the Bill, so that the unit bit reads “civic education unit”. What this Bill seeks to do is only dealing with issues of integration, and not on issues of education generally. There was fear that we have not recommended the development of any curriculum. The Bill talks about development of curriculum for civic education by the relevant ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have been asked whether we consulted the various stakeholders. From the Bill, it is evident that various institutions were consulted. Most importantly, regarding the Bill on the integration of the co-operative movement, we consulted professionals and received a detailed critique on it – which issues were taken on board by the Committee. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: The break-up of the former EAC in 1977 was generally due to the fact that there was no political goodwill amongst the leaderships of the various member States. Over and above that, there were no legal mechanisms to govern and retain the institutions of the former EAC. Therefore, the integration failed. This is, therefore, a deliberate move by EALA to ensure that there are legal frameworks within which the EAC can operate, thereby, speeding up the process of integration. More importantly, the Bills have come to the House at a time when our President is currently the Chairperson of the ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: These Bills actually seek to harmonise the various Bills that refer to various countries within EAC. Therefore, this is a good way forward to enable us have a general legislation that will govern the five partner States. I would like hon. Members to note that what governs us, as East Africans, is that we to have a community of one people with one destiny. That is the Motto of EAC. Most importantly, we are moving towards the mission of the EAC that talks about widening and deepening the economic, the political, the social and cultural integration in order to improve ... view
