• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we can say “save for an institution of higher education that has been granted a charter under law”. This is because we also have very many colleges in town that might be offering quack training. So, we need to provide for such eventuality. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am just saying that a charter is different from an accreditation. If we pass this amendment as it is, the University of Nairobi, the Daystar University and other institutions will have to look for accreditations. So, we need to put the word “charter” in the amendment because it is very different from accreditation. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I rise to oppose these amendments. I am not sure whether you want us to discuss them one by one but maybe very briefly. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, then I can give my opinion. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at paragraph 15, you will see that it is like one of the highlights of this Bill because it talks about professionalism in journalism; that journalists shall stick to issues. It actually provides for what is in the Constitution in terms of the right to privacy; that it shall be the right of the people to know. I think this is a good part of the Bill and we should not touch it. If you look at paragraph 18, you will see that the Member wants to delete subparagraph (3). This paragraph ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: If you look at the Capital Markets Authority Act that we passed here, you will see insider trading. If you delete the provision that the hon. Member proposes that we delete you, will be encouraging insider trading because journalists can get information from these companies on what will happen, trade and deal on that. This is especially in the money market. Hon. Millie has expressed herself on paragraph 21. Currently, when the media shows pictures of victims of sexual abuse, they usually pixilate the face or the person faces the other direction. Really, that is the right of privacy of ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, first, we can listen to the Chair because he is saying that this is the code of conduct. I beg to move:- THAT, paragraph 21 of the Second Schedule be amended by deleting the words in the third line after the word “identification”. So, it will read “The media shall not identify victims of sexual assault or publish material likely to contribute to such identification.” The explanation should either be in a memorandum or--- The rest of that is an explanation. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I also thank hon. Members for defeating that amendment. I beg to move:- THAT, paragraph 21 of the Second Schedule be amended by deleting the words in the second sentence. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if you look at it there is no way to measure generality in the media’s avoidance of publishing. So, I would like to propose an amendment that the word “generally” be deleted in the first sentence of Paragraph 23 of the Second Schedule. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Yes. So that it will read “The media shall not identify relatives or friends”. So, my proposed amendment is that in the first line of Paragraph 23, the words “generally avoid and identifying” be deleted and be replaced with the words “not identify”. view
