• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: To the Hon. Member for Kiminini. Would he accept information from the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs? view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let us debate from a point of knowledge and remove excitement and religious interests from this issue. Hon. Member, this is a Government Bill committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. I have not spoken. I am waiting for Members to speak so that you get the legal opinion after everybody else has spoken. It is a correct Government Bill that was signed off by the former Leader of the Majority Party, who happened to be a Muslim like all of us who happen to be in one religion or another. ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the problem that we have is that some Members do not want to take advice and when advice is made available, they sometimes display intellectual superiority over things which should just be plain. Hon. (Dr.) Wamalwa should accept that I am the Vice-Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. While I am here on matters of this Committee, he should accept to get some advice because then we will be guiding this House properly. It is true that there is no report before the House, but the Temporary Deputy Speaker has guided us ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just ask that you do not call the Mover to reply, so that you can give us more time to give you the legal perspectives concerning this Bill. I thank you. view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have been listening to Members contribute very robustly on this Bill. As you know, this Bill was committed to the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee.We have been processing it. I request, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, at your discretion, that this matter be deferred to another parliamentary sitting day when the House will benefit from the views of Members of the Committee. I see a lot of opinions have been well canvassed, but it is necessary on constitutionality of some of the sections of the Bill and to underscore the fact that this is a trust ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is another Bill that I seek your direction. We are grateful that it has been listed in the Order Paper. It is a Bill which was committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for processing. I report that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has robustly processed the Bill, but in the course of which there was a three Bench High Court decision that affected the exact section of law that is intended under the Bill expressing the view that it is unconstitutional. That being the fact, my Committee tasked ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, any short adjournment on this Bill will be for us to put that in the Table Office. Thank you. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, we took you seriously yesterday when you issued a Communication from the Chair in which several Bills were listed as pending before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. So far, we have made very urgent arrangements to make sure that these Bills are progressed and processed, with emphasis on individual Members’ Bills. I am sure that this is one of those. I have seen the catalogue of those pending Bills. One of them is this one to do with public participation. We recognise the enormity and the importance of that Bill. Public participation is a ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise on a point of order on procedure. We are doing well, but there is one procedure that we seem not to be getting all the time. This is the procedure of further amendments. It denies us debate in the issues which are subject to further amendment. I would have expected Hon. Kaluma to move this amendment as has been written on the paper then after that he should rise to propose a further amendment and then we subject it to debate because you can see that there is interest from Members of Parliament including ... view
