• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: My point of order came before his. I was saying that we start from Clause 1 which is the title when we are doing amendments in this House. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Clause 1. The amendments normally cover from Clause 1 to the schedules--- If you look at the arrangement of clauses on page 2722, you will find that Clause 124 talks about conditions for granting licenses or permits. Clause 125 is also talking about conditions for granting licenses or permits. This is an error. Clause 124 is correct on pages 2809 and 2810 of the Bill. The marginal note is also correct. It is the conditions for granting licenses or permits. However, the marginal note for Clause 125 is “amendment of license or permit.” view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: So, this needs to be corrected. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Normally when we do our amendments, they start from the title to the schedules. That is what our amendments capture. Very rarely do we amend the arrangement of clauses. However, the arrangement of clauses on page 2722 shows that Clause 124 is on conditions for granting licenses or permits. Clause 125 is also about conditions for granting licenses or permits. However, the marginal notes under Clause 124 on page 2809 of the Bill are correctly entered as conditions for granting licenses or permits, while Clause 25 is entered as amendment of license permit. I ... view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: It is good to point it out. When we did the National Construction Authority Bill, there was a case of wrong referencing. The clause that was being referred to as regulations was not the clause for regulations. If you look at the Bill for the National Construction Authority (NCA), you will find that that mistake is still there. So, I am just concerned from previous experience. It is good to point it out so that we capture it now so that it does not go into the Act. If it goes into the finished law, I am sure it will ... view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Deeply appreciated, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I do not know the rationale for the Chair moving this amendment. This, to me, is a fairly serious offence. My understanding is that the penalty should be as punitive as possible. By saying “not more than one million shillings”, it can even be Kshs5, Kshs10, or for free. I do not know why the Chair does not see it necessary to put a minimum fine. I know traditionally, we have been using the words “not more than” and then we make a discretionary for the judge or magistrate to give ... view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Protect me from my friend, the Leader of the Majority Party. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The amendments are okay but very vague. I wish the Chairman could explain what he means by consultancy services. Consultancy services are endless and in any case, legal services may be consultancy services but consultancy services may not necessarily be legal services. I want to believe that major consultancies in this country are known. I do not know why you are not including engineering consultancy. You already have legal services and Hon. Chepkong’a will agree with me that most legal services are consultancy services. I find that confusing. It is not clear at all and I wish he could be ... view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I thank Hon. Abdulswamad Nassir for this very important amendment. There is a saying that when a person wants something so badly, the universe always conspires to give it to them. You have seen what has happened. The people of Kenya are yearning for stable power. You have seen how much interruptions we have had. Somebody must be held to account. Those of us who live at the end of the grid suffer serious power outages. In fact, there is hardly a day that we cannot suffer power outages. Any sign of a drizzle ... view
