• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Africa and that, that is the reason multinationals are coming to our country and Africa has some of the fastest growing economies. That is including Kenya so that we have that kind of pride of ownership; so that our people do not walk around in a stoop. They should feel they are in the most resource-rich continent and that given an opportunity those resources can actually be turned around to create employment for their kith and kin. I also note the fact that we are increasingly developing protocols to create free movement of goods and services. However, I note that ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Second Reading of the Bill. If you look at the title of the Bill, you realize that it seeks to promise that, indeed, one of the challenges that we have been facing as a country is lack of fair administration. When Max Weber--- view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: If you look at invention of bureaucracy by one Max Weber, his intentions were actually to ensure that there is predictability with regard to how administrative actions are done. I do not think he intended that such an effective way of prediction of public action would otherwise be used by unscrupulous individuals to delay justice. As they say, justice delayed is justice denied and also for people to seek gain out of such delays or powers conferred to them in their mundane job descriptions--- This Bill is timely. I see a concurrence between this Bill and the provisions of Article ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: can be captured in this Bill just to show whether they are working. As I had said earlier, the issue is also about time. view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I am encouraged by the provisions of this Act that seek to ensure that any administrative action under Clause 4 should be expeditious. It is true that most actions that are relating to both State and non-State actors are not as expeditious. The word “expeditious” is not just a question of time, but it also has a cost element. It is about how we are expending with regard to attainment of such administrative action thereof. Therefore, I would also want to say that this cost element of doing such public administrative action needs to be focused in terms of any ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The reasonability of any administrative action cannot be gainsaid. Sometimes some of the issues that people have to go through are rather unreasonable. There are so many delays and sometimes you are told to go back after some time. Such delay would ensure that whatever end that you wanted to obtain may be overtaken by events. As a matter of procedure, we need to ensure that this Bill strengthens that aspect. view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Clause 5 of the proposed Bill speaks to the issue of public participation. It says that if an issue affects any group of people, the administrator will issue a public notice of the proposed administrative action inviting public views. I hope and believe that this will also affect issues of procurement. The Government must not procure things that are not needed by the people they are purported to help. I have gone through a similar experience as the National Coordinator of the Albinism Society of Kenya where a public entity procured sunscreen lotions that were harmful to persons with albinism. ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: There is a lot to speak about in this issue. It is a welcome Bill that needs to be strengthened because it is a bit inadequate. view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. From the outset, I would like to support this Bill because when we pray to God to be given an opportunity to go to school, we are given that opportunity to also go and learn to solve our problems. When we pray to God to help us overcome the challenges that face us, it means because we do not have wings we can make aeroplanes to fly. We can also use vehicles rather than walk naturally because we have two feet anyway. So the argument around going against the grain of God, for me is neither here nor ... view
