• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is this not the Third Reading now? view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to congratulate the House for the time it has spent on this particular Bill and gone through it with a tooth comb. I just wanted, as a matter of record, to say that the manner in which we have handled this Bill is in the spirit of the new Constitution. This view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Bill. I, again, commend the Minister for the work he has done in this very challenging period. We are living in very consequential times because everything that we are doing is literally history being written as we perform our legislative duties or as we watch. It will be important to point out that this Bill actually amalgamates very important statutes which now become consolidated in this Bill. I think that is a good idea because previously we had three separate Acts of Parliament dealing with the matters that are dealt ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to second and support this Bill. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to commend the Minister for a good job done. This is very innovative. It is one of the legislations or Bills that have come through a very innovative process. We have always believed that we run our cities and urban areas by having mayors and councillors.

• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, due to time constraint, I will try and take as short time as possible. The Minister has ably moved the Bill, and I commend him. He has had to come up with several Bills, the first being the one we are discussing today. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: This Bill flows from the Constitution. Due to the new constitutional framework, we had to come up with this Bill to make sure that the laws we have today are consistent with the Constitution, and that they recognise the rights and liberties that are found in the Bill of Rights as enshrined in the Constitution. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, another thing that this Bill does, which is noteworthy, is that it consolidates three statutes, which we are going to repeal, if this Bill is piloted to the last stage and eventually receives assent by the President. By Clause 65, this Bill repeals Chapter 170 of the Laws of Kenya, which is the current law on Kenyan citizenship, the Migration Act, which is Chapter 172 of the Laws of Kenya, and The Aliens Restriction Act, which is Chapter 173. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: It is neat and orderly to have all these legislations in one Bill. This is one of the success stories we are seeing with the implementation of the Constitution, in terms of codifying and amalgamation of certain statutes, so that they can be found in one document. view
