• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to move my amendment. So that everybody understands, at page 1336 of the Bill, the Attorney- General's proposed amendment is that you insert the following paragraph after paragraph (na):- "Measures for enforcing the provisions of sections 44(1) and 45, including the use of such devices as may be necessary or appropriate." Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, my proposed amendment, which is to delete that and to replace it with my proposal, reads as follows: Delete the proposed amendment and substitute in place thereof with the following new clause:- ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I accept the amendment proposed by the Attorney-General. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to say a few words about this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to appreciate that the Motion seeks among other things to say that there has been unfair distribution of public resources. There has also been a breach on the promise of zero tolerance to corruption and nepotism and general legal and administrative reforms. It also seeks if possible, to right those wrongs by making it possible that we, as a Parliament, are able to recognise the fact that there exists well over 40 ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think the Mover has ably demonstrated the mischief that can be occasioned by some wayward organisations like the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission. As he has explained, it means that if you are taken to court by the Commission, even if you feel your rights under the Constitution have been violated, this proposed amendment by the Attorney-General is saying:- "An application to the Constitutional Court to seek to interpret whether your rights are being violated shall not be entertained!" That is an extremely draconian and oppressive proposal by the Attorney-General and it should be deleted. With ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think the explanations given by the Mover are so clear. There is no justification as to why we should now lobby the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry. As it has been explained, we are just going to now tie down the work of the Advisory Board. For those reasons, I beg to support. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I second because this is just tidying up the law. I think the Attorney-General should not find difficulties in agreeing with the Committee. 3914 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 12, 2007 view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do appreciate that we are in Committee and procedures require that I point out the particular Vote Heads and Items. But I want to ask a general question: Is this huge figure of Kshs38.4 billion part of what is going to settle among others, the pending bills? Are these the figures which have been arrived at by the Pending Bills Closing Committee? view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, depending on how one looks+98 at it, this figure of Kshs2,279,984,850 for the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources is peanuts. But be that as it may, could we get a clarification? We have seen some disputes arising in Mwingi District involving two companies regarding some minerals being mined there. What is the Ministry doing with regard to the serious environmental degradation that is likely to arise out of the activities of those companies? How are these funds proposed to be applied? It may be very little money, maybe, we could get a clarification. view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is quite unfortunate that we are now looking at the Vote of the National Assembly and a lot of my colleagues have chosen to go and take tea. Since we are debating something about which the public has been told about ourselves as we close our term, does this figure include those sums? This is because the other one is in another law. We want to know if it is included. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we have been maligned. We have been called all manner of names. Therefore, could we know whether it ... view
