• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I agree with the Members who were saying that we do not have enough engineers in Kenya. That is, indeed, true. If you look at the Asian countries and many other countries that are developing, their levels of engineering are very high. Not just the engineers themselves but also the technologists like the ones were are seeking to professionalise today. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the country will not attain Vision 2030 by not investing in the technologists like we are seeking to do today. So, even for the reasons that the country needs to develop and grow, then we need ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: For the universities that are already taking these courses, I think it will be useful for Parliament to pass this law and allow the students who are already in those universities a chance to come and practise the profession that they have been studying. Borrowing from the medical profession also, there would be no reason for the people at the top to fear, say, nurses or the technicians. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (Senate Bill No.6 of 2014) be now read the Second Time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill was considered by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 199(6). The Bill originated from the Senate and it was sponsored by Senator Amos Wako. Upon being passed on 7th August 2014, it was referred to the National Assembly for further scrutiny in line with Article 110 of the Constitution. After the First Reading of the Bill, it was ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: A Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill is in keeping with the practice of tabling one Bill consisting of various amendments to various Acts, which do not warrant individual Bills. The principal purpose of the Bill is to correct the apparent unconstitutionality arising from the enactment of various Acts without taking into account the role and functions of county governments, as set out on the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution of the Kenya. The Bill seeks to amend the following statutes:- (i) the Cancer Prevention and Control Act No. 15 of 2012; (ii) the National Transport and Safety Act No. 33 ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: restate that position, when it is already in the Constitution. So, the Committee proposes that, that particular new Section 53(a) be deleted. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The other law that the Committee considered is the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) Act No. 14 of 2012. The Committee proposes that the Bill be amended in the Schedule in the proposed amendments to the NACADA Act by deleting paragraphs (b) and (c) of the proposed new Section 5. The new Section 5 intended to insert the words: “and the Council of County Governors” immediately after “the Houses of Parliament” appearing in paragraph (j). In sub-paragraph (c) the intention was to insert the words: “Council of County Governors” at the end of paragraph ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The Committee also proposes to delete paragraph (a) of the proposed amendment to Section 5 and paragraph (a) inserts the words “and Senate” immediately appearing after the words “National Assembly” in paragraph (a). The rationale of the Committee in proposing these deletions in Section 5 is that it unnecessarily requires the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to submit reports to the Council of Governors, (CoG) and also unnecessarily empowers the CoG to assign roles to the Authority without providing funding for its work. The Committee takes the view that the CoG cannot be allowed in this law to start assigning duties to ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The proposed amendments to Section 6 of the Act unnecessarily subject the approval of the Chairperson of NACADA to both Houses of Parliament. The Committee sees no reasons why appointment of the Chair of NACADA should go to both Houses of Parliament. The appointment of the Chairperson of NACADA, so far, is a function of the National Assembly. There is no reason to subject that appointment to both Houses of Parliament. The discussion in this country when the Senate and the National Assembly were being set up was not about having two Houses that duplicate each other’s work. The Senate ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The other Act that we have looked at is the Sports Act No. 25 of 2013. The Committee proposes that the Bill be amended in the Schedule in the proposed amendments to the Sports Act No. 25 of 2013 by deleting the words “liaison with the national and” appearing immediately after the words in Section 4. The Committee also removes the requirement for consultation with relevant departments. The Committee also proposes deletion of many of the new proposals that introduce more confusion on matters of sports in this country. The provisions that the Committee considers better are contained in a ... view
