• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: However, I am happy that the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Act has been left intact which is a good Act. It contains very minor amendments which I support together with the Legal Education Bill and the Civil Aviation Bill. But then again, we have some passengers who should be kicked out. They appear to be hanging onto this omnibus ominously. The reason I say this is because I am talking about the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption (EACC) Act. These two Acts should not appear in this omnibus because the proposed amendments that are ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). So, the KACC had vested its powers in a director. The EACC does not have a director. Therefore, upon the repeal of the provision that established the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, the functions and powers exercised by the Director now rest in the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commissioners. The amendments that we have been asked to pass under the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill purport to harmonise the provisions of the KACC with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. By doing this, they are trying to vest the powers of the ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: What should happen ideally is that we should even harmonise the two Acts. We should have one law. We should have the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act,and the EACC Act in one legislation. We should consolidate the two because this will provide for both institutional and a substantive framework for law enforcement and prevention of corruption. It will also provide for international co-operation and for mutual legal assistance in line with international instruments. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I request to also disallow these two from the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill because they are not proper passengers. They are pretenders in this bus and they should be kicked out, the same way the Leader of Majority Party has kicked out the other pieces of legislation. Let him kick out the Criminal Procedure Code. Let him also kick out the EACC Act and the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support with those amendments. view

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would first of all like to thank the hon. Member who brought this Motion. I second the amendment proposed by hon. Njuguna on the grounds that registration of persons is a legal regime and it is done within the framework of the law. There are issues that are spelt out in that legislation. When this Motion opens up, issues of erroneous registration of persons from this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: particular area as refugees must be addressed. We want to understand what is erroneous. What is the error? Is it fraudulent? Is it a genuine error? Those are issues that cannot be cured by a Motion on the Floor of this House. Remember that there are different legal regimes that deal with issues of immigration; there is the Refugees Act which deals with the issues of refugees and so on. Considering that Kenya, now more than ever before is under great threat of terrorism and has a new influx of refugees and the Refugee Act has not been enforced properly, ... view

• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. It is very unfortunate that we have limited time to debate this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. view
