• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that Clause 2(c) be further amended by:- (ii) inserting the words "or experience" immediately after the word "expertise". An expert is a person who has devoted learning and skill in a given profession or vocation. This is a person who also has knowledge and is conversant with the acts as are envisaged in the Bill out of experience or actual contact with acts of this nature, hence the introduction of the word "experience", so as to widen the scope of persons who could qualify to be intermediaries. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is something which I inadvertently left out. There is a proposal to delete paragraph "b", which reads:- "Exposure or display of the genital organs of a person to another person without the consent of that person." The Committee had considered this matter and proposed an amendment. We took into account that there are certain communities in this country whose cultures do not allow them to wear underpants and can walk around wearing shukas which can fall down by omission rather than by commission. We suggested that the paragraph be deleted. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 11 by inserting as new paragraph (6) as follows- (6) Any person who commits an indecent act with an adult is guilty of an offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not less than one year or to a fine of not less that Kshs50,000 or to both. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the rationale for the proposed amendment is so as to expand the scope of the offence of indecent act to include such an act against an adult. It ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move: THAT the Bill be amended in clause 16 by inserting the word "art" between the words "painting" and "representation". The intention of this amendment is so as to fill the lacuna which leaves out "art" from one of the possible instruments which contain ponorgraphy. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move: THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 17 by deleting the word "or" appearing immediately after paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the word "and". The rationale for the proposed amendment is so as to create one offence instead of two offences, which are largely two sides of the same coin. The intention is to avoid possible duplicity, which could result in the case of a charge under that subclause when the Bill becomes law. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the word "or", which it is proposed to delete, is clearly shown in the proposed amendment. It says clearly that the Bill be amended in Clause 17 by deleting the word "or" appearing immediately after sub-paragraph (a). There is no other "or" appearing immediately after sub-paragraph (a) view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move: THAT the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 23 and substituting therefor the following new Clause- 23. (1) Any person, who being in a position of authority, or holding a public office, who persistently makes any sexual advances or requests for sexual favours which he or she knows or has reasonable grounds to know, are unwelcome is guilty of the offence of sexual harassment and shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of not less than three years or to a fine not less than Kshs100,000 or to both. (2) ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 26 be deleted. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, you will recollect that the House was very enthusiastic about this clause. It was the general mood of the House that we need to safeguard our cultural heritage by deleting that clause. Perhaps more significantly, there are other laws that sufficiently provide for those kind of acts. The Penal Code has sufficient provisions to take care of genital mutilation and assault causing actual bodily harm. There is a sufficient sentence provided for in the Penal Code. It is a sufficient deterrent ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 31 be deleted Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, some of the arguments that I am putting across in support of the amendment are as I put across in respect of Clause 26. However, I beg to add that the offence that is anticipated to be covered by this provision is already covered by the provisions of Section 251 of the Penal Code. This section provides for punishment for assault causing actual grievous bodily harm. There is also a provision in the Children Act against female circumcision or female genital ... view
