• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think that for harmonizing the language, once we use “county corporation” it should be “or county-linked company,” so that instead of using the word “government” which can refer to the national and also county government, we are specific that this is limited to the county. So, it should be “County Corporation” or “county-linked company.” view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have come across the definition of a “county corporation” and it means a public corporation within a county established by an Act of Parliament such as those water companies or county legislation. So, the county can also establish its own corporations. So, it is clear that the county can have its own corporation or a county linked where they share with other entities. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, it is from the Bill, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the county is a government set by the Constitution. So, no other definition can make anything else than a second level of government established by the Constitution. So, if there is any such definition it will be null and void and I have not seen it. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just noticed that when the Minister was moving part (iv) of the amendment, he inserted the word “not” before the words “a term not exceeding” but he did not do the same to the fine part aspect. He did not introduce the same word “not”. So, I am wondering whether that amendment reads as it should. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, but you did not indicate so while moving the amendment. So, you had better move the amendment afresh. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I regret that the penalties have been made lighter, because we are coming from a background of people disobeying the law with reckless abandon. Nevertheless, for a start up, I will personally let it go. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment by the Minister. The clause would have been very oppressive. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am agreeing with the deletion because the clause, if it were left to stand, would be totally oppressive. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to congratulate the Committee and the Minister for this work. Those amendments almost amount to re-writing the Bill. They could not have been managed without co-operation. We have looked at them and they have strengthened the Bill. So, I beg to support. view
