• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Provided that two persons shall be from each of the tea blocks; view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: (f) one person elected and representing large-scale tea growers; view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: (g) one person elected and representing tea traders;” view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: The justification is that we need to create a representation of the Council of Governors in the Tea Board of Kenya alternatingly from the two blocks which have been defined and referred to both in the Bill and the Schedule. The representation of the persons from the small-scale tea growers ought to be gender sensitive and elective. It brings clarity as to how these people will be picked. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: I move to have the clause amended. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: A further clarification, that is, if we are on the same page with other Members. Part III is sought to be amended entirely. It runs from Clause 20 to Clause 24. So, look at all those clauses. Maybe, what is missing in Clause 20 or another clause may be found elsewhere. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, although the amendments appear to have been carried, I would support my senior Hon. Omulele that since we are talking about matters that touch on the Act, the board is also part of the Act. So, we might find some complaints that also touch on the board and the board cannot sit and arbitrate on their own case. I think it is food for thought that we should find a way of getting a tribunal which would adjudicate on matters that would relate to the board and any other complaints. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also agree with Hon. Millie Odhiambo that this is a provision that is likely to be subject of abuse. It talks of any member of the board. So, it does not clearly classify who should give instructions. So, if the lowest junior of the board gives instructions and you fail to obey, then you are liable to pay Kshs500,000 or thereabout. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: I oppose. 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
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, on top of what Hon. Millie has said, the clause seems to shift the burden of proof to the accused person in this case. You are supposed to prove. In any offence, he who alleges must prove but if you look at the tail-end, it shows that the person who is being accused is supposed to prove otherwise. view
