• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman. I just want to clarify that contrary to what the Chair is saying, this amendment is not one of the ones Hon. Speaker talked about. Clause 3 talks about the purpose of this Bill. I am saying that the first purpose of the Bill is to establish a national public library service. If you look at all the other aspects, if you are dealing with whatever institution it is setting, then that is what the main purpose should be. So, I am basically saying that. It gives strength to what the Chair has amended by adding the word ... view

• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, we will progress because I know the rules of the House. My amendment was strengthening this clause by establishing the National Public Library Service, but I see under Clause 4, there is established a national library to be known as the Kenya National Library. So, I drop my amendment. view

• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I am up to the task. If you look at my amendments, it is A and B. Part A is consequential because it is talking about monitoring the work of the Kenya International Resource Identification Numbers Agency, which we have dropped. So, it is consequential. However, B seeks to improve Paragraph L. Paragraph L says: “Establish a centre for books to promote reading, writing and publishing in local languages, traditional knowledge and culture, information and advice advocacy, book development, and easy access to books”. view

• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I am saying that that sentence is very convoluted. You do not know whether we are beating drums, writing books or what we are doing. I am not sure. I am trying to make it more coherent. It is a sentence that is seeking to provide very clearly for very important piece that is supposed to do, but it is not coming out clearly. So, I am breaking it to L(a): “provide easy access to information for all Kenyans”; L(b), “Promote a reading, writing and publishing culture amongst Kenyans”; L(c): “Establish a public national centre for books, magazines, ... view

• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 5 by - b) deleting paragraph (l) and substituting therefor the following new paragraphs—“(la) provide easy access to information for all Kenyans; (lb) promote a reading, writing and publishing culture amongst Kenyans; (lc) establish a public national center for books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and other information materials; (ld) preserve traditional culture and knowledge by promoting reading, writing and publishing in local languages; view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I am not going to drop my proposed amendment. If you listened to the Leader of the Majority Party clearly, this provision is already in other places. So, then, the logic is to drop all because we will be repetitive. I was seeking clarity, but I am not withdrawing. Let it be the fate of the House. view
