• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: This is basically on the National Transport Safety Authority (NTSA), which is a State corporation. On Clause 4(1), the Senate wants to basically bring some ambiguity in terms of the functions of county and the national Government by splitting these functions between the two levels of Government. This is a national Authority under the national Government with national functions. In that light, we do not see any need why it should be made a shared function at this level. However, the actual Act, the National Transport Safety Act, 2012 under Section 21, provides for county transport and safety committee, whereby ... view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I am moving the three amendments together. view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in the Schedule to the proposed amendments to the National Transport and Safety Authority Act by deleting- (b) paragraph (a) of the proposed amendment to section 6(1); and (c) the proposed new section. view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: This is about the appointment of the board of directors to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). The Senate proposes that the Council of Governors (CoG) should nominate three members to this board. This is a national body and the board must be appointed by the national Government. We do not see any need for the CoG to appoint three persons to this Authority, it being a national function. view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also had a chance to serve in that Select Committee in the last Parliament with my dear sister, Hon. Millie Odhiambo. The HANSARD is there to testify to the truth. We never had any discussion on progressive realisation of the two- thirds gender rule. With that reality and circumstance being clear, is my sister in order to mislead this House? view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to support the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) (No.3) Bill No. 18 of 2015. I appreciate that our Constitution provides for the gender equity rule. It provides for two-thirds gender equity in our Parliament. As Kenya National Assembly, we have made efforts to realise gender equity. You recall we had two Hon. Duale Bills. Thanks to our Speaker, we voted twice so that we can realise The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: the two-thirds threshold required to pass a Constitution (Amendment) Bill in the National Assembly. One way or the other, a decision had to be made. That day, a decision was made although it was in the negative. Our Constitution did not anticipate our Parliament to be a rubber- stamp Parliament. At the end of the day, a decision had to be made and it has been made. Our Constitution provides for many rights in the Bill of Rights. Have we realised all those rights five years down the road? I do not think so. This Constitution provides for adequate shelter, ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I strongly support this Bill. This is clear evidence that sometimes, as lawmakers, we pass laws in vain. This Act came into being in January 2013. Three years down the road, nothing has been done simply because the whole aspect of operationalising this law has been given to the Cabinet Secretary and he will only do it when he wants. Just because of the word “may” within the statement required his action, it is now three years down and nothing has happened to this law. It is a very good piece of ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I strongly support this law. I hope this amendment will be passed in the shortest time possible. I hope the CS, who is sleeping on his job, will do his bit very soon because, as Parliament, we will have pronounced ourselves. I hope the President will assent to it, unless there is a reason the Government of the day is not willing to operationalise this good law. view
