• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act, be amended by deleting the proposed amendment to Section 2 and substituting therefor the following- s.2 Insert the following proviso at the end of paragraph (e) of the definition of "public officer"- Provided that this Act shall apply to an officer of a co-operative society within the meaning of that Act. (k) by inserting the following new amendments in proper numerical sequence- Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the purpose of this amendment is to make clear that officers in co-operative societies ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended - (a) By deleting the proposed amendment to Section 30. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Section 30 states:- "That the contents of the declaration or clarification under this Act, shall be accessible to any person upon application to the responsible commission. No information obtained pursuant to Sub-section 1 shall be published or in any way made public except by prior written authority of the responsible commission." 3938 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 13, 2007 Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if we ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended - b) by deleting the proposed Section 30A. The proposed Section 30A reads:- "Each responsible commission shall prepare and submit to the Minister a return of all declarations or clarifications made under this Act within a period of three months." We want to delete this thing, because it is very dangerous. Suppose your Minister is your enemy, what will happen? He will kill you! view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Secondly, the position of a Minister is not constitutional. It is the prerogative of the President. How do we give such a responsibility to the Ministry that is always "twisting" or "changing places"? view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: 3940 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 13, 2007 Let us make law that we can subscribe to, and not law that can make us start crying tomorrow. I beg to move that we delete the amendment brought forward by the Attorney-General. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment. Actually, he should have moved amendments to proposed Sections 30A and 30B, because they follow each other, and maybe he should do so now. I oppose this amendment because on careful reading of this Section, what will be returned to the Minister will not be the actual declaration forms. I think hon. Members here are under the apprehension that the Minister is going to receive actual declaration forms. What will be returned will be all declarations. What that means is that if, for example, in, say, the Judiciary, there are 100 ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended- (c) By deleting the proposed Section 30B. Let me read what it says. You know, as a teacher, you have to read and tell the students what it means! view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I withdraw. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the Section reads:- "The Minister may, whenever necessary, by notice in the Kenya Gazette, appoint and assign functions to a public body or suitably qualified person to verify the declaration forms." Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, now that we have removed the responsibility of the Minister looking at the forms, we cannot have the Minister assigning that function to somebody or a body that he thinks is suitable. So, we feel this Section should be deleted. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, actually, in view of Section 30A, I think Section 30B becomes irrelevant. Therefore, I agree. September 13, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3941 view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended- (d) By deleting the proposed amendment to Section 35(1). The reason is that Section 35(1) reads:- "Insert the words "the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission" immediately after the words "Public Officers." Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we feel that the words "public officers" should remain so that, if the Parliamentary Service Commission is investigating me, we do not need to refer to Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission. With those few remarks, I beg to move. view
