• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we concur with the Senate on this amendment. Basically, this is about the composition of the directors of the National Drought Management Authority. The feeling of the Senate is that we should have an additional member who will represent the Council of Governors on that board. This is a very good position of the Senate, because under our Constitution, disaster management is a shared function between the two levels of government, the national Government and the county governments. For that reason, we agree with the Senate. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move that the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of the Senate Amendments to the National Drought Management Authority Bill (National Assembly Bill No.42 of 2013) and its approval thereof with amendments. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Barua to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a Committee we are considering a Motion looking at the amendments by the Senate, as brought back to the National Assembly, on the Mining Bill. There are a number of amendments proposed by the Senate. We concur with quite a number, but at the same time reject quite a number. I will briefly go clause by clause to state our position. 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
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The first amendment is to Clause 4 which is basically on definitions. Here, the Senate was trying to bring a new definition for “community,” but we felt that definition is not holistic because it excludes people who are displaced. On that ground, we rejected that amendment. Similarly under definitions, which are in Clause 4, the Senate brought a new definition for the Council of Governors (CoG). view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand guided. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate Amendments to the Mining Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 9 of 2014) be now considered. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I mentioned earlier, we received quite a number of amendments from the Senate. We did not concur with quite a number of them; there are a few which we felt we should reject. I will briefly go clause by clause stating our position. The first clause that the Senate amended is Clause 4. This is largely on definitions. The first definition is the one on “community.” We felt that the new definition that the Senate provided is not holistic enough. This is because while it captures so many aspects of community, it excludes people who ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Under the same Clause 4, the Senate did an amendment and brought in a new definition of the CoG. On this one, we felt their amendment was very good and it strengthened the amendments that were already on the Bill. We, therefore, agreed on this one. Again, under Clause 4, the Senate had a new definition for “strategic minerals.” While the definition they provided was good enough, we felt that this was repetitive because the same definition was provided for under Clause 16 of the Bill. We did not see any reason for repetition. We rejected that amendment on that ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Under Clause 5, there was a new definition they provided for “guiding principles.” While the Bill captured “guiding principles” as provided for in the Constitution, the Senate came up with a good amendment and strengthened what was already there by ensuring principles under Chapter 6 of the Constitution are also tied to what was there before. We felt they added value and we agreed with the Senate amendment. view
