• 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
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment because, as we all know, Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission is the premier body to investigate crimes under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act. All we are doing in Section 35(1) is to say that the responsible commission, which may be the Parliamentary Service Commission, the Judicial Service Commission and the Public Service Commission should be the responsible commission, in addition to Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission. It may do "a", "b" and "c". So, really, it is to make the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission also do the work that is done by responsible commissions. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Each is different. But they are also similar in the sense that we are adding. In addition to the commission which is responsible for that, we are also saying the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission in all of them. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Apart from the very last one there: "Insert the new Sub-section!" 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- (e) by deleting the proposed amendment to Section 35(2). It reads:- "An investigation may be made on the initiative of the responsible Commission or the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission or pursuant to a complaint by any person!" Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that means that one person is going to be investigated by two commissions. If the Parliamentary Service Commission is investigating one of us and it has not concluded, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission can also start investigating. That is ... view
