• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was coming to that. The constitutional office holders are specifically mentioned in the Constitution. This Act has, all the time, related to them. Not everybody who is mentioned in the Constitution is a constitution office holder. I will get the correct Section here. I think it is Section 119. On harmonising the salary structure, the constitution office holders were harmonised with those of Permanent Secretaries. In fact, there is Band A1. Who enjoys this? It is the Attorney-General and the Chief Justice who are constitutional office holders. However, in the harmonisation, we have the Permanent ... view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I am just about to come to that. I will state how much those in Band A1 will get. Just be patient. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we are just going round in circles. Mr. Amos Wako has no personal interest in this matter. He may get a benefit, but whether I get it or not, does not matter. I want to make that point very clear. Therefore, this particular Standing Order, I think, is geared to what Mr. Mutula Kilonzo said; it is also, really, geared to those types of situations that are not obvious on the face of it. In other words, a Motion comes up, an hon. Member speaks on, and you may not know whether an hon. Member ... view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am going to say that, but just want to agree totally with what Mr. Mutava Musyimi has stated. That is why, from the very beginning, I began by outlining the history of this Bill. I do not think Mr. Musyimi was here when I started speaking, but I did mention that in the Bomas Draft Constitution and the Wako Draft Constitution, we have a Salaries Review Commission, which is supposed to harmonise all these salaries within the public sector. I did refer to the nature that he has very ably, and more eloquently than myself, ... view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Then Subsection (5) says who those officials are - High Court Judges, Judges of the Court of Appeal, Members of the Public Service Commission, Members of the Electoral Commission, the Attorney-General and the Controller and Auditor-General. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Is it under the new Act or the new Constitution? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the way that is placed under Sub-section five, whether you are the chairman or a vice chairman, you are primarily a member of that commission. Then you subsequently become a chairman or a vice-chairman. So, Sub-section five, just states “member of the Public Service Commission” and “member of the Electoral Commission”. It is obvious that as the chairman, you are a member and therefore, you are covered under this section. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the IIEC, I do not think that they have an office of the vice chairman. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill was drafted before IIEC came into being. Also it is effective from 1st July, 2008 when that office existed. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, I agree, Mr. Deputy Speaker. view
