• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 29 of the Bill be amended – (a) By deleting sub-clause (2); (b) By deleting sub-clause (5); The rational here is the fact that prosecution powers should be left entirely to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and not the oversight authority. So, there is need for that consistency. view

By allowing that justification, aggrieved persons can appeal to the Cabinet Secretary, who must promote efficient administration through an expeditious review of administrative actions as envisaged in the Constitution. Furthermore, the idea is to reduce the instances of litigation and consequently reduce the burden of litigants on cost of filing suits, together with the procedures attendant thereto. view
