  • 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: What basically interests me in this Bill is the creation of an institute. If you look at Clause 15 of the Bill, you will find that it seeks to create an institute which will be in charge of, amongst other things, licensing and training. For progression of the profession, there will be need for continuous training. People must continue to train, so that licensing can be easy and the profession can progress. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the second schedule to the proposed Bill, you will realize that there is an examination committee, registration committee, continuing education ... view
  • 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: these professionals seek to provide. This is a function of this institute, and it is my hope that the institute will endeavour to discharge this function so that the public can actually benefit. Indeed, we have seen so many people traumatized in this country; many diseases currently affect people in the country because there are so many acts of violence. People actually need to benefit from the services of counselors, psychologists and physiotherapists. That is why to all intents and purposes, I support this timely Bill. I wish hon. Wamunyinyi had been elected to the Tenth Parliament as this Bill ... view

  • 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: In supporting the Motion, I wish to say that the recess presents an opportunity for us to interact with the people who elected us to this House. As we are all aware, other than the legislative role that we perform in this House, as Members of Parliament, we also serve as patrons of various committees in our respective constituencies. The adjournment will give us an opportunity to convene and preside over meetings of those committees, so that we can equally deliberate on other issues that affect the common view

  • 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish to support that amendment. You will realize that the clause as drafted is basically discretional. I believe that with the insertion of the proposed words, it becomes mandatory and the issue as to whether the Council and the Cabinet Secretary have to consult does not arise. So, I would like to support that amendment. view
  • 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Bill. LSK from time immemorial has played a very important role in the administration of justice and the promotion of rule of law. This Bill intends to basically restore order in the profession, it being a noble profession. Of importance in this Bill is Clause 4 that provides for the functions and objects of the society. If you look at Clause 4(f) and (g) where the issue of training has been articulated, training is crucial for the members of the legal profession. But as we ... view
  • 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: admission to the Kenya School of Law and, more so, because of exorbitant fees that are currently being charged. Now that the primary objective of this Bill is to look at issues of training for the members of the legal profession, then it is my belief that the Council will seriously look at this issue so that people can access training at that level. I also wish to proceed further and say that the Bill is progressive. If you look at Clause 22(2), you will realize that it embraces the principle of natural justice. The removal of an officer from ... view
  • 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for the opportunity. I rise to support the Motion. Ordinarily, a report of a committee is of national significance. It is, therefore, important that Members are given sufficient time to debate it. I have absolutely no problem with the order in which submissions are supposed to be made by parties. However, my main concern, which I would like to point out at this stage, is that at times we tend to think that there are two chambers – one to the right and another one on the left of hon. Speaker. As I contribute to this ... view
