• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is worth pointing out that it is not everything that we looked at that was murky. It is only fair that where there is progress, one must appreciate and commend those responsible. Further, the Committee counselled the Authority Board and management to adhere to the requirements of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005 in the procurement of goods and services. Stringent measures need to be employed in the execution of the newly-commissioned expansion and rehabilitation of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Project. We pointed this out because some of ... view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank all the hon. Members who have contributed to this debate on the adoption of this Report. I also want to thank the Government Responder, the Minister for Finance, for recognising that we really took our time to compile this Report. I just wanted to raise the point that we have already addressed the issue of witnesses who have been summoned by the Committee to appear before it and they have not done so. I think it is fair that Mr. Speaker has already ruled on that matter, so that the Office ... view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I appreciate the proposal by the Minister but I was just wondering; to tidy it up, would it not have been easier to delete the word "law" but just before the word "labour," to insert the word "other" so that it reads: "Or any other September 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4135 labour law?" Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Attorney-General is close to him and can explain to him. If you look at the Bill, as printed, it reads:- "An authorised officer may, either alone, or in the presence of another person enter any premises ... view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: It is page 368, Clause 46, Subclause (1). It is the one that I am reading as originally printed so that we can understand his amendment. view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it reads:- "An authorised officer may, either alone, or in the presence of another person enter any premises or place where persons are or may be employed for the purpose of performing his duties as specified under this Act or any "other" labour law." I am proposing to the Minister to adopt the word "other" before "labour law". view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, unfortunately, the Minister is not using the original Bill. He would actually have known that even in his own amendment, he proposes to amend Clause 54 in Subclause (1) by inter-changing the words "Labour Commissioner" with "Commissioner for Labour", and in Subclause (2), paragraph (b), so that we do not have any confusion. He can say that he begs to move that Clause 54 be amended as per the Order Paper, yet when we go to the Clause itself, Subclause (2) has got paragraphs (a)-(h), before we get to Subclause (3). So, it could easily ... view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, when Mr. Ogur was moving this amendment, particularly to Subclause (3), he pointed out something very interesting, which I think the Minister should have, among other things, congratulated the Departmental Committee for. Subclause (3) reads as follows- "(3) without limiting what may be included in the Director of Employment's report, the report shall cover the following issues---" Then there is nothing given thereafter. Therefore, I wanted to point out the fact that the Committee went on to provide the issues that are supposed to be covered in the Director's report. The Minister should have congratulated ... view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Are you saying that the amendment by the Minister has been overtaken by events? September 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4141 view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. The proposal by the Minister to re-number the parts should also be taken through. Clause 55 is at Part VII. But, actually, it should be in Part VI as proposed by the Minister. That is because there is a Part that was completely expunged last week. view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is at page 577. The proposal is that the Bill be amended by re-numbering Part VII as Part VI. That amendment has not been dealt with. 4142 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 25, 2007 view
