This arises as a result of the Communication that you made to this House last Thursday, 12th March, 2015, in which you committed two nominees for vetting by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. Under Section 15 of the Judicial Service Act, 2011, the National Assembly ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Section 13 the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, which we passed last year under the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act, states that despite the provisions of the Act or any other law – including the Judicial Service Commission Act of 2011 – where time is prescribed for doing an act or taking of proceedings by the National Assembly relating to a public appointment, the National Assembly may by resolution extend that time by a period not exceeding 14 days. The need for seeking an extension of time has arisen as a result of conflict between Standing Order (SO) ... view

• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. One piece of information, for the purpose of this Committee meeting, is that the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) has determined that this Bill is one of those constitutional Bills which must be passed before 27th August, 2015. If we do not pass this Bill, it means that we will have some problem. So, it is important that hon. Members pay attention particularly to the amendments so that it is not rejected. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 9 of the Bill be amended— (a) by deleting ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: immediately after the words “person who” and substituting therefor the words “attacks, intimidates or harms a person who reports domestic violence”; (c) by deleting subclause (3); (d) by deleting subclause (4); (e) by deleting subclause (7); We are seeking just to clean up that Clause so that it can be in consonance with the old Bill. Secondly, we are also seeking to clean up Clause 9(b) and seeking the deletion of sub-clause 3 as it is redundant. Thank you. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. When the Committee discussed this Clause 9(3), the feeling was that once we had cleaned up sub- clauses I and 2, sub-clause 3 was well taken care of. In fact, I am just discussing with hon. Kang’ata here who is a Member of the Committee and we are of the view that we can retain sub-clause 3 so that we do not have issues. We will also have to retain sub- clause 4. If we retain sub-clause 3, we must retain sub-clause 4. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Sub clause 7 would be deleted. It does not make sense at all because the determination is by quote. It is not a determination which can be made in law. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I propose that Clause 9 of the Bill be amended- view
