• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 17 of the Bill be amended in subclause (1) by deleting the word “give” appearing immediately after the words “with instructions” in paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the word “prescribed.” This is to align it with Clause 16, which provides for the prescription by the Cabinet Secretary of the regulations governing the manner in which the private entities are to report their performance in the implementation of their climate change obligations. This is a small change to enable Clause 17 to concur with Clause 16. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 32 of the Bill be amended in subclause (1) by deleting the word “one” appearing immediately after the words “fine not exceeding” at the end of the subclause and substituting therefor the word “ten”. It was felt that, particularly big companies, will not feel any pinch for degrading environmental issues if you tell them to pay a fine of Kshs1 million. The Committee felt that this needs to be increased from Kshs1 million to Kshs10 million. view

• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 35 of the Bill be amended in subclause (1) by deleting the word “may” appearing immediately after the words “Cabinet Secretary” and substituting therefor the word “shall”. Allowing the word “will” or “may” does not give the strength of the law; that this must happen. As currently worded, the provision makes it optional for the Cabinet Secretary to make regulations and hence, there is a possibility that the Cabinet Secretary may take time or fail to make these regulations. By deleting the word “may” and substituting therefor the word “shall,” ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I do not know if my brother, the Senator for Makueni, would like to make an amendment to this amendment. In practice, we have done this kind of thing in almost all the other laws where clauses suggested that the Cabinet Secretary shall make regulations. Since I had not anticipated this question – and we have been debating about timelines in our Committee - I need to interrogate this document further with regard the timelines for making regulations and coming to effect of the law. This is something we can interrogate together with my learned Senator, view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I have nothing to add. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, in the interest of the procedure of this House, whereas I agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that we can put Clause 25(a) after Clause 17--- view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in the definition of the word “Cabinet Secretary” by deleting the words “Cabinet affairs” appearing immediately after the words “responsible for” and substituting therefor the words “matters relating to climate change”. During the drafting of this Bill, I think that they erroneously put “Cabinet Secretary” in charge of “Cabinet affairs” which, of course, does not apply in this Bill. We corrected that to “Cabinet Secretary in charge of matters relating to Climate Change” because we do not know how the Ministries will be referred ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in Senate: Hon. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that the Committee do report progress to the Senate on its consideration of the Climate Change Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.1of 2014) and seek leave to sit again tomorrow. view
