• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: companies, I propose that “a general manager or any other officer” be deleted and we retain “director and secretary” as suggested by hon. Kajwang. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Lastly, the proposal regarding Clause 59D sounds very interesting. I hope that hon. Nyokabi is listening. In my view, this amendment is draconian. It seeks to change the entire criminal justice system in this country. The Criminal Procedure Code is very clear. The burden of proof rests with the state. It is not discharged until the prosecutor proves otherwise. We are seeking to amend the Criminal Procedure Code without stating so in this particular clause. I am a little bit unprepared to accept this amendment because its passage will change the Criminal Procedure Code. Therefore, I propose that in Clause ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, can hon. Kamanda listen? I am making a proposal for an amendment to Clause 59D and I have a Seconder. I have made a proposal for amendment by deleting the word “criminal” and replacing it with the word “civil”. My Seconder is hon. Waiganjo. view

• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The reason for proposing this amendment is so that it can be in line with Article 50 of the Constitution. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the New Clause 59D be amended by deleting the words “whether criminal or civil” and retaining the rest of the clause. The reason for proposing that is because the burden of proof, under Article 50 of the Constitution lies with the State; you cannot shift the burden of proof as this is inconsistent with the Constitution and also the Criminal Procedure Code. We can make it consistent with the Constitution by saying “in any proceedings;” in this case it will be civil proceedings. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: ( Question of the amendment proposed ) view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Chairlady. You know time was of essence when we were trying to draft this and I just could not understand also why we should retain “in any proceedings”. If I can then rephrase my amendment, I would like to propose the following amendment. I will say “in any civil proceedings”, and then we delete the words “whether criminal or civil”; that is all. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. This particular amendment is the best amendment that can be ever done. I support what my other colleagues have said. I just want to say that the best development that has ever occurred in a very small country called Bhutan was because of CDF and I suggest that hon. Lessonet visits that place. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you know people have failed to understand us when we oppose governors because of failure to be vocal. They imagine that we are opposing devolution. We are not. Our constituencies are the very essence of the existence of counties. Ainabokoi Constituency is in Uasin Gishu County. How can I, therefore, be said to be opposing devolution? view
