• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill with a few amendments, more specifically with regard to the definition of “holder” in the interpretations. I am concerned that a holder is described as somebody who is the holder of the receipt defined as a holder to mean a payee or endorsee of a negotiable or non-negotiable warehouse receipt who is in possession of this receipt. I think the Bill must be precise as to how one comes to possess this receipt. Maybe that could be dealt with by regulations, but specified in the Act. Clause 17(3) ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion. After going through the Regulations and noting that the fund intended to support the promotion of sports, arts and social development, it was striking to actually observe that there are no existing regulations more specifically on arts and culture. The only two existing legislation surrounding arts and social development are: 1. The Macmillan Memorial Library, which commenced in 1938, almost 80 years ago and addresses the management of a trust deed set up by Lady Macmillan. 2. Then you have the Kenya Culture Centre, whose date of commencement ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Nominated, JP): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the amendments to the health laws. It is such a vast topic that I could talk way beyond the 10 minutes. Most importantly, issues regarding health touch on all Kenyans. If we are not paying for medical bills, in very unfortunate circumstances, we are attending funerals of people who have died of various diseases. Indeed, when it comes to health and funerals, we spend more money in donations and even on school fees. A successful nation must be a healthy nation before anything else. Before we can go ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. Before we can go to school or work, we need to be healthy. I have noted in the amendments that the Pharmacy and Poisons Act proposes to do away with the National Drug and Quality Control Board and establish a scientific advisory board. As Kenyans grapple with high cases of cancer, like my honourable colleague said, we do not have with us the scientific data. It is not lost on us that numerous Kenyans are now dying of cancer. Of course, it can be argued that perhaps it was always there. We did not have the means with ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I must appreciate that the Islamic empire actually extended from Damascus right up to Spain and North Africa. This area covered several different cultures. So, you will find that in Morocco, they wear the fez, which has nothing to do with the cold, but it is a red hat with a little tussle on it. What Hon. Shakeel is wearing is, indeed, another variance of style of an Islamic hat and not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: necessarily because of cold, but it is, indeed, an Islamic hat. There are different variations in different countries of the Islamic world. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know he may have so many of them. You are closing him out. Let him remove this one so that we can see the third one, the fourth one and the fifth one. This guy seems to have so many. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion for the annulment, in its entirety, of these particular regulations. I will not belabour the point because yesterday, we addressed the issue of public participation. We addressed the issue of the fact that counsel may not be advising relevant ministries or state agencies appropriately. However, one other major concern that we have noted as the Committee on Delegated Legislation is the tendency for these regulations to provide almost astronomical amounts when it comes to fines. There are fines in the realm of Kshs200,000 when, really, the limit is ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to add my voice to those that have spoken. These regulations are already there but are not anchored in any known law at the moment and so, it is important that we do so. But more importantly, is to make sure that these regulations come to Parliament to ensure that they are in line with the laws of Kenya. I have this concern, when we say the Central Bank may prescribe. I think that “may”, leaves them to do it or not to do it. I think it should be mandatory, “shall”, so ... view
