President shall appoint a replacement from among the short-listed persons considered by the selection panel in accordance with the Third Schedule, giving due consideration to the rankings and comments of the selection panel, if any.” My proposal on this is because there is no facility within this Bill on how the chair of this Committee will be selected. Therefore, I am proposing a procedure on how to select the chairperson who will be chairing the Committee on Private Security.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we all know that after primary education, there is only one certificate that is offered, namely, the KCPE. To the best of my knowledge, no other certificate is offered.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not see the need to do that because we only have one certificate for primary education.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 26 of the Bill be amended by deleting Sub-clause (2) and substituting therefor the following new Sub-clause— “(2) An application for renewal under this section shall be made to the Authority in such form and manner as may be prescribed and shall be accompanied by— (a) the prescribed application fee; and (b) evidence of having undertaken training in security matters of not less than a week in the preceding year.” The import of this is to elaborate and give more information. I am deleting sub-clause 2 because it is not ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 30(2)(e). I am proposing this amendment because this is subject to abuse. We have already specified the qualifications in Clause 26. This person must have undergone some prior training. So, this person is just applying for a licence. You have qualified earlier on. So, in my view, this becomes redundant and is also subject to abuse. I am proposing that it be deleted.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in Clause 26, we have specified the requirement for application. We have said that this person must undertake some training prior to being given this licence. So, we have already put a benchmark. Why do we, later on, deny the same person? The person will not go through the training process if he or she is deemed unfit or improper. So, we have already done that in Clause 26. We have specified the type of person we require.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 47 of Bill be amended in Sub-clause (5) by inserting the words “,within three months of the commencement of this Act,” immediately after the word “shall”. The import of this amendment is that the power to search is so important. We have had a lot of problems in the area of security officers searching members of the public. Therefore, I am proposing that we put a timeline when these regulations can be put because the way it is, the Principal Secretary can take a long time to put up the ...
