• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 53 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following sub- clause immediately after sub-clause (3)— “(4) Upon the withdrawal of legal aid, a legal aid provider shall apply for leave of court to cease providing legal aid services in the relevant case.” This is a consequence of what happens when legal aid services are withdrawn. One has to apply to the court to withdraw legal services or to be allowed not to provide legal services anymore. That should cushion Hon. Okoth’s earlier amendment that it is upon leave of ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 54 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (4) by deleting the words “principles of fair administrative action set out in Article 47 of the Constitution” appearing immediately after the words “by the” and substituting therefor the words “Fair Administrative Action Act, 2015”. This is largely to align this Bill to the Fair Administrative Action Act of 2015, which was enacted by the House to codify the right to fair administrative action in Article 47 of the Constitution. Sometimes there is a very close nexus between legal aid and the ... view

• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 57 be amended— (a) by deleting sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following sub-clause— “(1) The Service shall, through regulation, develop and adopt criteria for accreditation of persons and institutions to provide legal aid services.” (b) in sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “the Cabinet Secretary, the Director of Public Prosecutions, public benefit organizations, faith based organizations” appearing immediately after the words “Attorney General” and substituting therefor the words “the Director of Public Prosecutions, public benefit organizations,” The Committee’s justification is that we require the Service to develop a criterion ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 59 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (2). The justification is that we do not want to allow the Service to charge for accreditation and monitoring of accreditation services. We do not want a charge to be applied to that Service. So, we propose the deletion in Clause 59(2). view

• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we have no opposition to this particular addition. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 60 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting paragraph (c). Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the idea is to avoid repetition. The contents of sub- clause (2)(c) are covered under sub-clause (2)(a). This is a clarification and making the law neater. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is again a consequence of us having not interacted with Hon. Okoth. I wish some of these Members would come to the Committee. If you look at sub-clause (2)(c), you will find that it publicise such places as the Service shall determine and sub-clause (2)(a) is publicised, placed or posted and made available for inspection at no charge by members of the public at police stations, courts, prisons and any other public place as maybe determined by the service. Sub-clause (a) is clearer than sub-clause (c) as it identifies the places where this can be ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me start by congratulating the Deputy Speaker and the Liaison Committee for the work they have done in processing the BPS. Those of us who served in the Budget and Appropriations Committee before and are still hoping to go back to it, are aware of the task at hand. Let me also congratulate the National Treasury for giving us a reduced Budget. It is time we cut our coat according to our cloth. We need to fit the Budget we have as a country to the resources that we have. We cannot borrow for Recurrent ... view
