• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: by the Council commits and offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding two hundred thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this, once again, is as a result of extensive consultation. view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to support this amendment. The history of our country in the recent times demonstrates that the time to assert internal political parties discipline has come. I think, my learned friend, the Senior Counsel, has forgotten that since 1992, under Section 1(a) of the Constitution, there is supposed to be a democratic multiparty State. The experience that the Official Opposition has suffered in the last four and a half years is that, it has been raided by the Government so much that it has been diluted beyond recognition. I think it is unfair for ... view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with utmost respect to the Chair, even when my learned friend, who is a Senior Counsel, Mr. Muite, Chair of the Committee, says that he is dropping the amendment, I believe that this matter is on the Floor of the House. Would I be in order to say that we are entitled, as it the property of the House, to be given an opportunity to comment on the withdrawal and reasons advanced? view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is one of those very few and unusual amendments that are extremely dangerous. If you look at it, part "k" says:- "Actions, including actions claiming equitable relief, in which recovery or compensation in respect of the loss of or damage to any public property is sought," and it is being applied retrospectively." I would like to caution those of my colleagues across the aisle that this will touch them more than ever before. If you have abused a Government motor vehicle and you have been in retirement for 20 years, this law can be ... view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to support the amendment. One of the main reasons for this is: If you look at the words "contempt, hatred and hostility", it will occur to this House that those are words that are always personalised. They are rarely ever used objectively. It is often that when you use words that somebody thinks that they are intended to put him or her in contempt, the other person who is speaking thinks that he or she is merely joking. Sometimes, people become so intense that they think they are hated, when they are actually ... view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I believe the hon. Attorney- 3770 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 6, 2007 General, and my good friend, the learned Minister, have mis-apprehended the objection we are raising in supporting this amendment. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as you will very well know, countries like, for example, the United States of America (USA), on laws of racketeering, go even further and order that proceeds of organised crime or racketeering can, in fact, be forfeited to the state. What we are opposing is the uncertainty in punishment law. These two clauses, "a" and "b", are creating that uncertainty. ... view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, thank you for allowing me to rise in support of the amendment. I will give one example and, please, forgive me. I have said in this House that when an hon. Member or even Minister either walks in or stands up to speak, you hear some other hon. Members hissing in a peculiar manner. view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Exactly! I would like to say that if that happens, the hon. Member will be committing an offence under this amendment. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to support and suggest that we delete this proposed amendment because it is not only unfair but, in fact, a bad law. Thank you. view
• 23 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: attempting to take over housing estates where there has been default. This proposed amendment will help sort out these problems in a more structured way. There are also proposals to amend the Public Trustee Act to enhance the powers of the Public Trustee by authorising the Public Trustee to administer estates of a higher monetary value. This is necessitated by where our economy is at this time and the value of the shilling, where the value that was previously picked is too low and estates falling under the public trustee are of greater value than what is stated by the ... view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: by deleting the word "shall" appearing immediately after the word "and" in the second line and substituting therefor the word "may." view
