• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not wish to challenge your ruling but this is a matter that has been discussed in our Committee. As you know, the National Gender and Equality Commission was part of the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission under Article 15. If you look at the Standing Orders with regard to the matters that fall within justice and legal affairs, human rights is one of the issues. Gender and equality is a human rights issue. It does not fall under the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services; that is the reason why this Commission is ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: 9 Tuesday 18th November, 2014 from the Office of the Attorney-General and taken to the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services, so that we do not have confusion. In fact, confusion was created when this matter was referred by mistake to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare with respect to vetting, but this is a commission on human rights.

We would like to request that you give us more time. We will apply for more time when we come next week. As you know, we have the Companies Bill and the Insolvency Bill and we are under a lot of pressure from the Executive to ensure that we conclude these Bills. view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: No, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am not making that application right now. I am just informing the House that there is every likelihood when we meet as a Committee because of the matters that are pending in this Committee that are of urgent nature. 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
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The Committee did liberate on this objection by His Excellency the President and, indeed, it did table its Report in the House on 23rd October, 2014. This Report is found in the Table Office, Room 8. The Committee deliberated on the rejection by the President of Clause 62 (1) with amendments to remove the word “executive responsibility”. We did concur with the President. In Section 62(1), if you remove the two words it maintains the Act as it was. The only thing that we had introduced in the amendment Bill was, “provided that the ... view
