• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. In view of the fact that the Chairperson of the Committee has withdrawn the amendments, persons who are entrepreneurs or managers in matters of entrepreneurship will have no role to play. I think we should go by the Chairperson’s recommendations. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. In contributing to the amendment proposed by hon. Shebesh, I do agree that there is value in separating what the patron does and what the champion can do, especially in matters of capacity building, which is left to the Ministry. I want to clarify that Regulation 13 does not, in any way, relate to Regulation 15. The County Women Representatives who want to support the Report of the Committee on appointment of the two representatives at the Constituency level should do so. We have come a long way. We have asked the hon. Members ... view

• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are still on Regulation 13, which seeks to make the County Members champions of the Fund, especially as far as capacity building is concerned. I do not think the term is as weighty as it is being made to sound. This is a Fund that will be implemented continuously, and we are going to develop these rules as we go along. I will inform Members that we are looking at Regulation 13 in terms of developing capacity; when we go on recess, County Members will have no other work except participating in the management ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is important that we look at Regulation 18 more carefully. Even as we talk about money funds and the Money Bill, we need to reconcile Regulation 18 with a lot of the work we have already done in these regulations. We have as far as possible removed any reference to religious institutions. As it is now, we cannot leave the grant for religious institutions in 18(1)(d). There has been reference by hon. Mule on the confusion that this will cause, that is, the religious organizations have grants and everybody else has a loan. That will ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I urge that we use Regulation 18 to harmonize the work that we have done in the other regulations so that we do not have a discordant document. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am happy to contribute to the debate on the Media Council Bill, but I wish to start by complying with Standing Order No.90 that requires one to declare any personal relationships before. I have had the opportunity to serve in the Complaints Commission of the Media Council of Kenya in this country. I, therefore, have some proposals that will seek to amend this Bill to ensure that it does serve as a progressive self regulation model for the media. In looking at matters on regulation of the media, there are two models that ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: be applied by the Law Society of Kenya Disciplinary Committee, including removal from the Roll of Advocates in which you remain until death – actually we remain counsel for a long time. So, it is a very painful experience to be summoned by the disciplinary committee. Therefore, self-regulation can work and should work. This is what we are asking the media to be subjected to. Through the Media Council of Kenya Bill we are asking that the media be given the power, the capacity and the legal teeth to deal with their bad apples. The model of co-regulation reminds me ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: the ideals that the Constitution requires us to implement without really putting a lot of our personal emotions into the laws that we are passing. The Kenya Information and Communications Bill provided for a tribunal. There is nothing stopping this Parliament from allowing the Media Council to then create a first instance hearing body at the Media Council level. So, the appeal in the Kenya Information and Communications Act level can really become a second instance hearing body. Every time you are wronged by the media, the first place you should go to should really be the Media Council. I, ... view
