26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when Members are claiming some came here earliest, you recognise that I was the earliest here. I thank you for giving me the opportunity. I take this opportunity to also support the Bill that is before us here. I am a student of contract. Like yourself and many other lawyers here, you understand what happens when you go to law school. The first case that comes before you, before you even start the process of studying law itself, is one case called: “Carlisle v Carbolic Smoke Ball” It is an 1893 case which is the basis ...

11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Section 34 of the Forest Conservation and Management Act (No. 34 of 2016) which is about variation of boundaries and/or revocation of forests, provides an opportunity for any person to petition the National Assembly or the Senate for variation of boundaries of public forests or revocation of a registration of public forest or portion of a public forest. This particular Motion is a very basic one. Under normal circumstances and specifically under Section 227(2) of our Standing Orders, once petitions are committed to committees, they are, within 60 days, supposed to bring reports to the House and, therefore, ...

Further, the petitions have to prove certain things. In this specific case about the Forest Conservation and Management Act, they have to prove that such variation or revocation does not affect or prejudice its value as a water catchment area, biodiversity, conservation, cultural sites, protection of forests or its use for educational, recreational, health and research purposes. Given the criteria factored into law, it becomes imperative for the House to consider such petitions thoroughly and effectively. It is with this in mind that we seek an exemption of provisions of Standing Orders 223(k) and 227(2) during consideration of such petitions. ...

11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
because, by the very nature of this petition submitted under this Act, it requires annexures, lists of proposed beneficiaries, intended variations or revocations and other adjudication documents that need to be presented together with the petition. So, it will not be okay if it is done in the normal way like other petitions are done, where there are no annexures. For example, in the case of Mt. Elgon, there is a list of beneficiaries. That needs to be scrutinised. Therefore, it is important we exempt it from Standing Order No. 223(k). On the other part, Standing Order No. 227 requires ...
