• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me also express my disappointment at today’s proceedings. I do not know why the Committee is not being regarded even on a matter like this, where we would want to agree with views introduced by the Member. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We do not oppose this particular one. It gives the National Assembly an oversight role. Let me ask that because Hon. Okoth never really allowed the Committee to have a chance to look at his amendments, that the Committee has the first chance to speak to his amendments. I find that most of his amendments actually improve the law but, in all courtesy and fairness, it would be good if a Member brings to the attention of the Committee his amendments before he brings them to the Floor. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 12 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause (2) by deleting the expression “(f)” appearing immediately after the expression “9 (1) (c), (d), (e)”. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Committee is of the view that this proposed deletion cleans up that section. So, it is really a matter of clean up on Clause 12. I urge the House to support that. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I oppose the deletion of Clause 14 because it gives validity to decisions of the board in the event that there is a vacancy. There are many things that happen to some of these boards.

So, it is always good legal mechanism to protect the decisions that are made by such a board when it has such a vacancy. On the other proposals around the quorum and the board inviting experts and other persons who might add ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 22 of the Bill be amended by deleting the expression “15” appearing immediately after the word “section” and substituting therefor the expression “21”. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On Clause 22, the amendment by the Committee is a correction of a cross-referencing. We are cross-referencing with Section 21 and not Section 15. It is an editorial amendment to clean up the Bill and the cross-referencing. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 24 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “and appointed by the Cabinet Secretary” appearing immediately after the word “Board”. (b) in sub-clause (3)— (i) in paragraph (b) by deleting the words “and has experience in matters relating to legal aid” appearing immediately after the word “years”; (ii) by deleting paragraph (c); (c) by deleting sub-clause (6) and substituting therefor the following sub-clause— “(6) The Director shall hold office for a term of three years, but shall be eligible for reappointment for one further ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The justification relates to making the director directly answerable to the board and reducing the qualifications applicable for the appointment of a director of the service and reducing the term of service for the director from five to three years. This is meant to ensure efficiency and ensure that they work in terms of performance contracting, which is the new way of delivering in Government. So, the proposals are as contained in the Order Paper towards making the director a lot more accountable. Thank you. view
