• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: No. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what may be in the mind of the Ministry could be an administrative office like that of a duty judge in the High Court. Is it proposed that the Principal Judge shall be the highest or the senior-most judge of the Industrial Court, so that other judges will be subordinate to him? If that is the case, and it is okay with them, we can leave it at that. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want the Minister to explain the proviso in the proposed amendment which reads:- "Where a member of the Press is admitted to any proceedings referred to in Subsection (3), the member of the Press shall publish a fair and accurate report or summary of the proceedings: Provided that a member of the Press shall not publish any comment in respect of the proceedings or the evidence in the proceedings until the award, judgement or order of such proceedings has been published in accordance with the provisions of this Act." Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the clause says:- "Provided that a member of the Press shall not publish any comment in respect of the proceedings or the evidence in the proceedings---" We have seen even cases of divorce, rape and so on and the Press would publish the evidence given. People would then comment. An advocate appearing would make a comment that what you are saying is not correct. For instance, he could say, "you were not sacked on that day". The Minister is saying that the Press may not publish a comment like that one. Here, we are actually ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: I just want to support because I was very worried! That is because any court should have powers to review its own orders upon discovery of new matters that may not have been within its purview, or could not have been discovered even with the exercise of due diligence. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, just to explain, we have already passed a Clause that gives the Chief Justice the power to appoint certain magistrates and give them jurisdiction to hear matters relating to labour. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to agree with hon. Odoyo that, it is wrong, since we are dealing with matters of labour, to say that the Registrar of Trade Unions will have to go to the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs or to whoever may be responsible for matters of justice and constitutional affairs. The Registrar should have the kind of independent office we have created in the Bill without reference to the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs. Indeed, we will sum it up with a lot of confusion if the Registrar has to make consultations ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would prefer if he leaves it the way it September 20, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4121 was in the Bill. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to add a small rider to what Mr. Musila has just finished with. I want us to remind ourselves that one of the reasons given for the start of the French Revolution of 1776 was the remark attributed to the Queen, Marie Antoinette, when people were rioting about the cost of bread. She said that they should be advised to eat scones instead. I am saying that to support what Mr. Musila has said about the importance of us appreciating the issues that affect the common mwananchi. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope this time I will not be cut short like the other time. I want to begin by saying that I support and, indeed, want to encourage the Minister to continue in this way. He should bring all relics of colonialism into this House for repeal, so that we can forget them. I am saying this because, as we realise, a lot of the laws that are captured here are being proposed to be repealed and, or, amended in order to bring them into line with modern day September 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4003 practices ... view
