• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank all Members for their contribution. I want to appreciate the House for the bi-partisan nature in which we have discussed this Bill. You could hardly tell who is from Jubilee Coalition and who is from CORD Coalition. Indeed, this is a good Bill for the country. view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I want to quickly touch on the amendments proposed by various Members and Clause 6 in particular. I think we are going to look at that Clause again on the exemptions. We are going to tighten and make sure that national security is not used as a reason or a blanket to cover corruption and many other ills in this country. I am particularly aware of the history of this country on national security concerns. However, at the same time, we are a country facing insecurity and attacks. We need to balance the two. On falsifying information, we will take ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I beg to Move that the Second Reading of this Bill be completed so that we can move to the next stage of the amendments. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for extending what we call the Chancellor’s Foot to allow just a quick intervention on the petition that has been brought by the Member for Mathira. It is, indeed, important that the strategic reserves consider long-life milk and also the powdered milk, and there are very good reasons for that - the distribution in the country, the employment and the value-addition. So, this is to urge the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives to give that petition the due concern that it desires and to hope that there will be improved dairy farming in our ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Not to this one, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my thoughts are now together. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. It has taken us a bit of time to read and understand the implication of this recommitted Clause 8 but it appears that Hon. Kaluma is seeking to repeat the language in the Constitution, in Clause 22 (a). If this is the only effect of using the language in the Constitution, it would be okay.

• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: On Clause 22(b), Hon. Kaluma appears to be removing the limitation that had earlier been put in the Bill on Articles 47, 48, 49, 50 and 51. Although we have difficulties around this new introduction, the language can pass. What I want to put on record as far as the interpretation is concerned is that the Committee is very clear that Magistrates’ Courts must have some jurisdiction on human rights matters so that such matters do not have to go to the High Court all the time. Some human rights matters can be handled by the Magistrates’ Courts where the ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have a lot of sympathy for what the Member for Wajir wants to introduce in terms of a holder of a degree in social sciences being qualified to be appointed as an adjudicator. Unfortunately, for the purposes of the legal procedures and processes, this would introduce a standard that will really water down what happens in the Small Claims Court. In terms of application of the law, we must have uniform standards across this country. A degree in social sciences can be in environmental studies, a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this amendment was consequential to the earlier one. So, to the extent that the earlier one did not pass, this one is superfluous. We do not need to say “relevant field”, but we need to say “legal”. So, I would urge the Member to consider withdrawing it because it is hanging. Having lost the first one, it is hanging.
