• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I have. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I thought it would be wise to respond to some of the concerns raised, particularly by Hon. Moi, Hon. Kaluma and Hon. Gumbo. What is proposed here is not giving powers to the Cabinet Secretaries. In subsequent Clauses, we are talking about delegation of authority of Cabinet Secretaries but here, Hon. Kaluma, your specific concern was about members of the fact-finding mission. It is specifically provided for in Clause 16(2)(a) and (b) which says an authorization under this section shall contain a description of the area of Kenya in which the fact-finding mission is to carry ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there is nothing in the law or the Act that is preventable. It says “shall name the members of the mission”. So, if it is an international mission or a local one--- view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I was going to say that if it is an international mission or a local mission, I think the Cabinet Secretary may determine. What Hon. Gumbo is alluding to is, if it is an issue affecting the area of defence, then such missions should contain and include the Chair and Members of his Committee. That is going. I agree with you. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 17 by deleting Sub-clause (5). This amendment seeks to delete Sub-clause (5) as it defines a term which, according to the structure of the Bill, should actually be in the definition section of the Bill. It is just a question of rearrangement and it is not material. In the definition section of the Bill, you will find that definition of that title. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 21 of the Bill be amended ─ (a) in Sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “served on any person require him” and substituting therefor the words “ require a person”; (b) in Sub-clause (3) by deleting the words “served on any person require him” and substituting therefor the words “ require a person”; (c) in Sub-clause (4) by deleting the words “’without reasonable excuse neglects or fails to comply with a notice served on him” and substituting therefor the words “ does not comply with a notice given”; and, (d) ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 22 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) ─ (a) by deleting the words “or magistrate” appearing immediately after the word “judge”; (b) by deleting the word “by” appearing immediately after the word “necessary” and substituting therefore the words “using reasonable”. This is one of those other amendments that we have a challenge with. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 24 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause(1) by deleting the words “Attorney- General” and substituting therefor the words “Director of Public Prosecutions”. This proposed amendment is in line with Article 157(6) of the Constitution which confers prosecutorial powers upon the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and not the Attorney- General. In the original draft, it appeared that the Attorney-General would be responsible for prosecutions whereas it is clear in the Constitution that the DPP is in charge of prosecution and has the prosecutorial powers. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 25 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “by or before which a person is convicted of an offence under this Act may by order declare” and substituting therefor the words “may order”’. Again, this is one of those rephrasing, redrafting semantic amendments. All it does is to seek clarity by redrafting sub-clause 1, for better flow of the Bill, not really changing the content. view
