• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Can you just take us to that section if you do not mind? view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Which one? I can see that. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Yes. But what you have done is that, you have removed officers. If an officer, for example, kills an elephant and he says that he is an officer. then under the Act which you are providing, first of all, he will be liable to a fine and then he will be liable to an imprisonment. But if he is charged under this sub-section, then the term is not provided for in this sub-section. You needed to have consulted on the drafting here so that you give us a term. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Why officer? Why do you not leave it, so that it is every other person? So, that you do not have to be an officer; you just need to be any person and you are charged within those other penalties that had already been provided for. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: The way you have drafted it, the officers will go scot-free. This is because even clause 93 of the Bill, you have given a proviso that it is a defence for the officer to say that he was acting in a lawful manner. Therefore, those together will make an officer rely on those two sub-sections and say that the offence is either lenient of that there is no offence at all. So, the hon. Chairlady, you are taking notes. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Let us hear from hon. (Ms) Lay, ole Kenta, then the Chairlady. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: All right. What we are dealing with here is what gets into the text of the amendment that we have now. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Just a minute. Can we see it and how will it remain? How was Clause 93 worded before? view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: That is okay. Let me propose that the amendment by the Chair of the relevant committee be further amended by deleting sub-section (2). view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Departmental Committee Chairperson, this is a requirement of the Constitution. Even if you did not provide for it, it applies automatically. Any Cabinet Secretary should know that there is constitutional provision that talks in detail about this matter. Any treaty or convention ratified by Parliament shall form part of our laws. There is also an Act of Parliament on ratification of treaties and conventions. Can you recall the one that was moved by the Member for Mbita? view
