• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon Chairlady, sorry to drag you a little bit back again on clause 32. I am getting a little worried. I know we have taken a little more time on this Bill in our Committee, but when I read our new sub-clause (4), the Cabinet Secretary shall not reject advice by the Board. I am wondering, if the Board recommends that the licence should 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
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: not be granted, what grounds would the Cabinet Secretary have to say it should be granted? I am getting a little worried. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: No, you see we deleted sub-clauses (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) in our first amendment then we have created (2), (3) and (4). The Cabinet Secretary shall not reject advice. These are the amendments on Clause 32. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: The Chairperson is with me, I do not know why the rest are not with me. They should pay attention. Maybe I have an aided version of the amendment, so I may have more advantage over the others. Clause 32 is there at the bottom of the Order Paper on that page 460. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, somebody is insisting on calling me. The concerns of hon. Ochieng are dealt with in part (2) where the prescription of the form is dealt with.

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. That is just to compel the Cabinet Secretary to always tender. When you say “may tender” then interpretation will allow him an opportunity to do it without tendering. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, I support. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Hon. Ochieng was talking of geophysical survey.

A figure of 1,500 blocks is what we got from very many industry experts and I would like to ask the House to adopt it. Thank you. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the reason for this amendment is to also conform to the earlier amendments where we were reducing the power of the Cabinet Secretary and introducing the recommendations by the Mineral Rights Board. I support. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, earlier on, I was opposed to the extension but, having heard that this House might adjourn on Thursday, I am inclined to support the Motion, so that we conclude this Bill. This is the youngest august House to have ever been constituted. The average age of Members in this House is much lower than at any other time in the history of Kenya. If we cannot sit in the House for an extended period of time, we will be failing Kenyans who decided to elect young people. Let us proceed with this Bill until we finish ... view
