• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Clause 11 provides for offences, for example, failure to approve the publication of a document required to be published, failure to publish within the required time a document approved for publication, authorizing the publication or publishing of false or misleading information and altering a document approved for publication. This will bring some discipline in that office across counties. That was also the concern of the National Government Printer. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Punishment for such an offence is a fine not exceeding Kshs200,000 or imprisonment of a term not exceeding six months or both. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Clause 12 provides for a general penalty of a fine not exceeding Kshs100, 000 or imprisonment of a term not exceeding six months or both. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Clause 13 which is the last gives the CECM the power to make regulations for the better carrying out of the provisions of the proposed law. Of course, it also provides that the CECM in charge will make regulations to help guide the implementation of this law. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: This will also take care of the unique factors of each county at the implementation of the Bill. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I had indicated earlier, the status is that all official documents are printed by the Government Printer. This Bill is seeking to devolve the office of the national Government Printer that is already in the law and the Constitution. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Most of the documents used at the county level are not gazetted because the office of the National Government Printer is overwhelmed by work. If you have paid a visit to that office that is near the Kenya Polytechnic University College, it is a very small place. One even wonders if they are able to effectively handle the work at the national level. For us to consider that 47 counties also rely on that same office to publish their documents is a nightmare. Therefore, it ends up creating shortcuts or delays which breed corruption. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: We were informed by some of the players when we were doing public participation that most counties are going for printing at River Road. There are several budgets that have been in use yet they were never published. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: This Bill is long overdue and necessary. It is important that we devolve the functions of this Government Printer so that people continue to publish legal documents. view
• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: It is also easy for us as the secondary overseers of devolution after the county assemblies to have a knowledge of Bills passed by the various county assemblies. It is now impossible to know where to go if you want to know which Bill, Bungoma, Busia or Baringo counties have published because there is no printer where you can go. view
