• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beseech Members who are with us today to listen to me. Kenya is listening to us and looking at us. Our actions here today can easily put this country in a very bad position. Our actions here today can burn this country tomorrow. Therefore, what we have before us here squarely lies on Standing Order No. 29(3) and (5). Standing Order No.29(3) states thus: “The Speaker shall, by notice in the Gazette, notify the Members of the place, date and time appointed for the special sitting of the House.” It is not explicit on the ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Article 113(2) of the Constitution and Standing Order 150, this House adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on its consideration of the Energy Bill, 2015, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 24th August, 2016, and approves the Mediated Version of the Energy Bill, 2015. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this Bill came before this House and we went through it in the Committee of the whole House. The House approved the amendments that had been brought by the Committee. The Senate also brought its amendments, one of which the Committee did not agree with. That amendment is on Clause 57(e)(i). The House eventually agreed with the Committee and the matter went for mediation. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Mediation Committee held one sitting on 23rd August, 2016 and unanimously resolved the contention on Clause 57(e)(i) as follows:- THAT, Clause 57(e)(i) of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (e) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph – view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, what had happened in this clause is that the Senate had brought in an amendment to delete paragraph (e) that said:- “not more than four members appointed by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) out of whom two persons nominated by the organisation representing the largest number of persons carrying out operations in the energy sector.” view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: That was the bone of contention because it was a bit vague as to who these two persons nominated by the organisation representing the largest number of persons carrying out operations in the energy sector were. Indeed, the agreement with the Senate was meant to remove the ambiguity that existed in including one person from an organisation representing the largest number of persons carrying out operations in the energy sector as one of the persons who maybe appointed by the CS. After the amendment, the new clause will read:- “(e) not more than four other members appointed by the Cabinet ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This means that the CS will have a leeway to appoint two other members. However, from those two, one will be from KEPSA and another one will be from an institution of higher learning. I beg to move and ask my Vice-Chairman, Hon. Jackson Kiptanui, to second. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to reply. I urge Members to support this mediated version because today being 25th August, we only have two more days remaining and this being a constitutional Bill, it is important for us to pass it so that the House will operate within the stipulated timelines of the Constitution. I beg to reply. Thank you. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Article 113(2) of the Constitution and Standing Order 150, this House adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on its consideration of the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill, 2015, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 24th August, 2016, and approves the Mediated Version of the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill, 2015. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the National Assembly, during its sittings on 9th, 10th and 11th August, 2016 considered the proposed amendments by the Senate, and by a resolution rejected ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: referred to one person being nominated again by KEPSA from their member organisations who had demonstrated competence and capacity in matters related to petroleum. This is the reason the National Assembly rejected the Senate recommendations. The House found that there was likely to be a conflict of interest. After the mediation team met, the Committee agreed to drop the amendments to sub-clause 2. The justification for that is the advisory committee which this section relates to is an inter-ministerial committee and the KEPSA membership in the committee would create conflict of interest. Therefore, on this, the earlier recommendations by the ... view
