• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to propose that in future, while we are in the Committee of the whole House that we actually have hard copies. It makes it easier because when we are following hard copies and soft copies it becomes a bit complicated. However, because I had proposed amendment to Clause 20, I would want to say that I have looked at what the Chairperson is proposing and his part (b) is very similar because what they are doing is designating roles to the counties and to the national Government. Therefore, if you look ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Point of information, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. (Ms.) Eve Obara. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson, because Hon. (Ms.) Eve Obara is my sister, the information I wanted to give is that if she wants to speak to her issue, it is okay. That is, if she actually connects it to what the Departmental Committee Chair is saying. If the Chair’s amendment falls, she will not get a chance to speak to hers and she has been waiting here very patiently for a long time. All she can say is, maybe, hers is similar to the Chair’s or it is different from the Chair’s so that we also get to know what ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. When dealing with Clause 40, we need to look at it in relation to what “appointed” refers to. It says “appointed day” means the day this Act comes into operation. That is in relation to this part. Where is “appointed” referred to in this part? That is in 36, “…on or after the appointed day, all action suits or legal proceedings pending by or against the agriculture…” So, it means it is giving you what the appointed day is because if we look at the definition section, there is no definition of “appointed day”, ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. In our area, what we do is to consume. I am a friend of tea growers. This is an excellent amendment. It protects our tea growers and our local tea. I am going to sit with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock because he is the one who is going to do this. We are having the same problems in fishing. The President gave an Executive Order, but we cannot effect it until those amendments are brought by the Chairperson. I cannot bring it procedurally as a Private Member especially ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to oppose these amendments. I want to urge the Chairman of the Committee to listen to me carefully. He had proposed a blanket amendment for all the other offences that may not be provided for under this Act. To an extent, this is actually repeating what was done. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: The other reason which is more worrying to me is that this amendment makes criminal offences administrative actions. I will give you an example. When I was a new advocate of the High Court of Kenya, I was assigned to the then only Election Petition Court. I was made to work there for a whole year and refused to go on leave. But being who I am, after having asked my boss and she refused, I wrote a letter and proceeded on leave. If you followed this, I would have been charged with a criminal offence. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: I hope you are listening very carefully. There are administrative things that cannot be criminal offence. It is saying a person commits an offence if, without lawful excuse, ignores or fails to obey any instruction issued by a member of the board. In this case, that means that because I refused to listen to my Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at that time, it would have been a criminal offence because I am a ‘ kichwa ngumu’. I am sorry for using those words. So, you cannot punish me for being ‘ kichwa ngumu’, but you can punish me for the ... view
