• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: in the amended Clause 9. It clearly states the functions from paragraph (a) all the way to paragraph (f). When we come to Clause 10, and if he has got a chance to look at the published Bill, it provides functions or the process of the Accreditation Advisory Committee. Actually, it was called accreditation committee, but we changed to Accreditation Advisory Committee. It literally states the functions. Based on international practices and from the benchmark visits that we made, the normal practice is talking about an accreditation scheme that literally is a rundown of the entire process from the point ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I would not want us to go back to Clause 9. However, the marginal notes could have an error, which can be cured at an appropriate time. However, I beg my colleagues concerning Clause 10 and New Clause 10, which is a fairly elaborate provision relating to the accreditation process and service scheme. It will be practically impossible or it can still be possible, but it will be a bit untidy for us to start introducing amendments upon amendments. What we have provided here has literally been covered to provide the entire accreditation scheme as practised in other comparative jurisdictions. ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, since all of us have been involved in this Bill for almost six months, it has become part and parcel of our blood system. I want to agree with Hon. Kimunya’s comments that this is a duplication or repetition of what has already been legislated. So, we need guidance on the process to drop amendments in Clause 12(b). On behalf of the Committee, I propose to drop the amendments in Clause 12(b). We retain Clause 12(a) and drop 12(b) because it is already covered and is duplication. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I speak not necessarily as the Committee, but to probably just give some background information. I have no problem with all the amendments under 13(b) and (c), but with amendment to Clause 13(a), where the Member is saying that we add the word “law”. I am not an expert in legal drafting, but I have this view that the implication is the appointing authority could as well appoint an advocate or lawyer to head the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS) as a CEO. Truly speaking, and I want the Member to consider, the bulk of ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as I had indicated much earlier, as a Committee, we totally agree with the amendment proposed by Hon. Millie Odhiambo. It brings clarity and certainty so that no mischievous person acting beyond their powers wakes up and fires a CEO. Even though I am told that it could as well be included in the contract, it is good to include it in the Act. view

• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Oundo (Funyula, ODM): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also take this opportunity to sincerely thank our Committee, led by the Chair, Hon. Kanini Kega and our Vice-Chair, Hon. Cornelly Serem. I thank the Kenya National Accreditation Service (KNAS) as it is constituted for the invaluable information and additional data that they provided to enable us panel beat and come up with a legislation that truly reflects the current practices. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I sincerely thank Hon. Omulele, whom I consulted widely and seriously on this particular Bill. His input, even though it might not have been official, found its way somehow into the Bill. I trust that we got the country a Bill that will allow us to be members of the international trade and have confidence in the final products that hit our markets, be they medical or food, so that we can be safe and play in the international league in the international market. view
