• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do agree entirely with what Mr. Ojode has stated. I support this amendment because I as a constitutional office holder would not like the entry point in my scale to be determined by a mere officer in the Office of the President. It has to be determined by the President himself. So, I support. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to say that for reasons very well put by both the mover and the seconder, I support. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment as it appears in the Bill. This amendment is not to ensure that the Executive controls the Board. If anything, if you look at the current provision, it says:- "Five members appointed by the Minister on the recommendation of the council of 3882 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 12, 2007 NGOs will be represented on the Board". We are not touching that paragraph under which the Board of NGOs recommends five people to be on the Board. If anything, we are reducing that paragraph where the Minister can, in his own discretion, appoint ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to support this amendment. I support it because I appointed a task force to review all laws relating to auctioneers. The main aim of that was to professionalize auctioneers. Therefore, for them to have one body is very vital if that objective is to be achieved. So, I support! view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended by deleting the provisions relating to the Kenya Roads Board Act, 1999 (No.7 of 1999). Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I propose that all the amendments which appear here 3884 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 12, 2007 relating to the Kenya Roads Board Act be deleted because they have been overtaken by events. This House has already passed a Bill which the President gave assent to last week. So, all that is already part of the law that has been passed by this House. So, ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the provisions relating to the Industrial Property Act, 2001, by deleting the proposed amendments to Section 80. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as we undertook when we were moving and seconding this Bill, that we shall carry out appropriate amendments to the proposed amendments to enable the people of this country, particularly the HIV/AIDS sufferers, to benefit from medication, we are proposing the deletion of amendments to Section 80. I believe the Committee was also proposing the same thing and it is ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this proposal. First of all, it must be stated that under our Constitution, it is the President who assigns various portfolios and duties and so on. For now, he has assigned human rights issues to the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs. Tomorrow, or even today, he could assign them to another Minister, say, the Minister for Planning and National Development or the Minister for Water and Irrigation or the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources. He can do that even today. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: The Attorney-General is also a Minister! What the President cannot do is to assign my constitutional responsibilities under Section 26 of the Constitution of Kenya to any other person. If he does so, he will be in violation of the Constitution. However, when it comes to assigning portfolios like human rights issues and all that, he has a right to do so. Therefore, that is why it is being framed here, "The Minister for the time being responsible for issues relating to human rights." It does not say here, "The Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs", but whoever, at any ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have three amendments. The first one is what appears on page 1351 of the Bill, headed "Section 23". You will notice that the current provision reads:- "(4) The provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code, the Evidence Act, the Police Act and any other law conferring on the police the powers, privileges and immunities necessary or expedient for the detection, prevention, investigation and prosecution of offences shall, so far as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act, apply to the Director---" Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the second amendment is at page 1355 of the Bill, Clause 56. view
