• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: It is very large and we cannot go through it in detail. Read it because you will shortly have an opportunity to debate it. The fourth Member who also made submissions is Hon. Patrick Musimba. He submitted on the introduction of a parallel debating chamber. This is one that can be cited in the House of Commons, where sometimes when business is so heavy, there is an alternative chamber where you can go and actively participate. For example, look at a situation where some Members have been accused of not actively participating in Parliament because they do not have the ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Parliament alone, but also for the staff. They have an opportunity to continue increasing the population comfortably. That is what Hon Zuleikha requested. We will tell you what we did eventually. Some of the things that the Members suggested were accepted, some were modified and we agreed that others could be handled administratively. Hon. Caleb Kositany also proposed a variation of the sitting hours of the House. Hon. Millie Odhiambo submitted among other things, a proposal on ranking Members and recognition of caucuses. Hon. Speaker, the Committee very seriously considered your rulings in Communications issued to the House, including the ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in the course of its work, the Committee isolated the following themes that have informed the proposal of amendments recommended in the Report. I will only mention them and not go into discussion. They considered the issue of public participation, efficiency in committees and the Chairperson’s Panel, recognition of constitutional offices of Members and Members service to the House, the place of parties other than parliamentary parties and independent Members. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, a few things have changed in our proposals. I will start with the issue of committees of the House because I know Members are very keen. First, there is a proposition of creating additional committees, both departmental and sessional ones. There is also a proposal of increasing the vice-chairs positions, so that every committee will have one chair and two vice- chairs for a very good reason. We want the committees to work seamlessly. Committees that serve more than one department of the Government should have separate chairs. There are some committees which serve more than four departments, ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Accounts Committee. It has been discovered that there are other Special Funds, for example, the National Government Constituencies Development Fund, chaired by Hon. Wamunyinyi, which do not specifically oversight in terms of audit. So, it is audited by the Special Fund Accounts Committee. Therefore, it becomes very difficult to deal with 290 constituencies, the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) and other Special Funds like the Youth and Women Enterprise funds. Therefore, it is difficult for them to handle one year’s work. It has been divided, so the work can be shared out and they can operate a bit more ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: There was also the creation of a Public Petitions Committee. Members bring Petitions by members of public in this House. Also, other Petitions are sent directly to the Speaker for presentation to the House. They are many Petitions so, we proposed to create a Public Petitions Committee. We understand it will be a very tall order because the Petitions will be many, but this is a step in the right direct. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: There is also the Public Investment Committee (PIC), which will be divided into three. As you realise, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), chaired by Hon. Wandayi, has done a good job in terms of processing the Audit Reports and are almost up to date. This is a very good thing and should go on record that this Parliament has brought accounts almost up to date. This is a success on our part, but for the PIC, because of the huge workload, they were unable to do so. So, we have proposed it to be divided into three. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: For the departmental committees, we have added the Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works Committee and the Regional Development Committee, which are fairly straight forward. Then, we have one on Social Protection, which is shared out from the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. This will deal with matters relating to social welfare, security, pension, gender affairs, equality and affirmative action, affairs of children, youth, persons with disabilities and senior citizens like Hon. Angwenyi, who was here a few minutes ago. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: We have proposed a Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife, which we hived from the Departmental Committee on Sports, Tourism and Culture and the other bit is from the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. It will deal with matters relating to tourism promotion, management and tourism research and wildlife management. There is also another one which is very critical on Water, Fisheries and Irrigation, which was hived from the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. It will deal with matters relating to use and regulations of water resources, irrigation, fisheries ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have tried to be as brief as possible because I know Members have read through the Report and want to contribute. I have highlighted the specific areas which I know are probably of a lot of interest to the Members of this Assembly. I have shown you how we arrived at what we have brought before you today, which is through propositions by Members and committees. view
