• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this Bill also looks at how the commission of inquiry can either support or oppose recommendations to suspend a county government. Initially, the County Governments Act looked at the case where the commission of inquiry recommended or concurred with the suspension, but there was a gap where the commission of inquiry did not agree with the recommendation. As alluded to by our Chairman, I would also like to propose that where the commission of inquiry does not agree with the report, the President should provide a memo either concurring or disagreeing with the commission. view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill also looks at how to kick off the process of the Senate to set aside the suspension of a given county government. The County Governments Act states that the Senate can suspend the suspension, but it does not say how it kicks off that process. The County Governments (Amendment) Bill proposes that a Member of the Senate can propose the suspension of the suspension of a county government. This removes the gap that existed. view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: It also brings in the relevant House committee in the Senate to review and make a contribution on the suspension or a proposal to suspend a county government. The County Governments Act does provide for that. It talks about a Motion being kicked off. The proposal should come from the President, go straight to the Senate and then it kicks off a Motion without the relevant committee having a chance to review it and make its contribution. This Bill looks simple but it is very important and vital in the implementation of the relevant clauses of the County Governments Act ... view

• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish you and the rest of my colleagues a happy new year. I support this Bill and agree with Hon. (Dr.) Pukose that it is long overdue. Accreditation is a very important service to this country and to all the countries that consume goods that originate from here, and those that we import from. By having a Bill that guides the way we do accreditation in this country, we are enhancing the process of accreditation to ensure that we are protected from taking goods that may not have been accredited. Recently, we as consumers have ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I was recently surprised to see a company in possession of many cartons of stamps and seals from KBS meant for goods that eventually find their way into our markets. It is, therefore, important that as we build on this Bill, in the future, we consider how we can have support services to support some of those services that we are discussing today. It is important that we have a special intelligence service that will work hand in hand so as to put in security and intelligence that will ensure that those bodies have a backup. This is to ensure ... view
