• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, it is. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: So that my inquiry is very clear, would the Chair of the Committee consider a further amendment to remove the word “not materially”. Those two words are imperatives that give a description which is not definite in terms of contractual rights and liabilities. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you have correctly put it within the context. So, these words, “materially adversely affected”, would mean that they could be affected but not materially. This is the problem I am having with this legislation. If you could leave it and say any other person are not affected, so that we do not have ... view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I appreciate this amendment and it is in order. But when professionals in energy are done with legislation, they should get lawyers to help them craft the law. That way, we get pieces of legislation which will live for a longer time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, drawing from your knowledge in legislative drafting - knowing that you worked very arduously at the Attorney-General Chambers when the Chamber was the Chamber - we are running away from this provision that this legislation has provided, in our contemporary legislative-making. A good amendment such as this sub clause would ... view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, we are frantically looking for this amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Could the Chairman now lead us into a discussion on this amendment? view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you have just nailed it – that, this is a clause which would usually appear where a tribunal or a committee is clogged with quasi- judicial powers to enhance its independence. If they were judicial rather than quasi-judicial, we would have given security of tenure but because we cannot give them security of tenure, the best we can do is to make them know that when they exercise their powers, believing that they are doing so honestly and faithfully, they will not incur personal liability. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (b)— “(ba) overseeing roadside developments to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Act and guidelines as may be prescribed by the Authority.” view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: This is to give an additional power to the Authority over the road reserves and management. The Constitution has given the Roads Authority the ownership of those roads. We need a legislation that actualises that ownership by the Constitution which now gives them the power to manage the road reserves and the roadsides. It is just that simple. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: No. I just want to amplify what the Chair has said. As you know, I have taken time to look at this and we spent a whole day with the Chair trying to reconcile those amendments. The intent of the drafters was to incorporate what is now known as Mwongozo Policy - good governance in management of boards. The first thing is public participation and public-private partnership so that we release governance and also incorporate the public sector. It has been a problem in the National Assembly. Every time we have those pieces of legislation, how do we now bring ... view
