• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The reason we are going into length on the functions of Sports Kenya is to show that all they need is to consult the relevant county government. But as far as we are concerned, Sports Kenya, which is set up by an Act passed by this House in 2013, already sufficiently covers matters of sports and what should be done in furthering our sports in this country. Allowing the county governments to take over this role at this point in time may not be very helpful for the country at a time when we have Sports Kenya. The rationale is ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: As you know right now with the young people, we hardly have any sports to speak about in our counties, and we hardly have a comprehensive or coherent policy on sports in our country. What we need is for the county governments to work with Sports Kenya for the purpose of furthering sports in our country. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: So, the amendments and the rationale are to delete some of the issues that will muddy this process, and require that the annual report is submitted to the relevant county governor. Every county should have autonomy to deal with Sports Kenya as opposed to the CoG. A particular county that needs to work with Sports Kenya should enter into an arrangement under a consultative session with Sports Kenya in terms of furthering sports. That is the proposal of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The other Act that is in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill is the Pyrethrum Act, No. 22 of 2013. The Committee proposes that the Bill be amended in the Schedule in the proposed amendments to the Pyrethrum Act by making some deletions, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: especially the one requiring consultations with the CoG and the ones that require a CS to have some roles. The rationale of the Committee is that to require consultation between the CS and the CoG in the nomination and the appointment of the Chairperson of the Board is acceptable by the Committee. It is only in consultation with the CS and the CoG in the nomination and appointment of the Chair of the Board. That is a matter that those interested in pyrethrum in this country should have regard to. These are some of the products whose growth we need ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking all the Members who have contributed to the debate on the Second Reading of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, Senate Bill No.6 of 2014. I want to thank all the Members who have contributed extensively to the various sections of this Bill. We will be able to capture some of the issues that Members have pointed out when we bring the amendments in the Committee of the whole House. However, we would urge Members who are individually affected by some of the legislations captured here, and have had ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: brought before the House. We will also look at the necessary legal provisions in matters health in counties. On the Cancer Prevention and Control Act, the views that have been raised by Members will be captured in as far as matters referring to cancer are concerned and the amendments proposed by the Senate and further amendments proposed by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. There was a lot of debate on NACADA Act. Those concerns will also guide the Committee because we are going to ask for a report of the HANSARD and look at the contributions that ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The prevention, protection and assistance to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Affected Communities Act No.56 of 2012 also received a lot of attention from the areas with high numbers of IDPs. When we look at the provisions in the Committee, we will be guided by the views that have come from the Members. Most importantly, we want to look at the question of IDPs vis-à-vis the Restorative Justice Fund that the President announced on the Floor of this House. This is a Kshs10 billion Fund. In the first year, we followed this with the National Treasury and Kshs1 billion was ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I will urge the Members to support the Bill in the Committee of the whole House, during the Third Reading and to make sure that these Bills see the light of day and become law. I beg to reply. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to join the previous speakers in support for the Report of the Departmental Committee on Lands and to congratulate the Committee for the work that it has done not only with this Report, but in the last couple of days we have seen many Reports brought forward by this Committee. They have even come up, in the House Business Committee, as a Committee that had a lot of pending Reports which we needed to give priority for debate here on the Floor. So, mine is to appreciate the work of the ... view
